AGREEMENT
(Land Development- Belated Obligations)
THIS AGREE:,SENT is made and entered into 4pe,1 _ , ¢ , 197f,
between the TOWN OF LOS GATOS, hereinafter called "TOWN," a city, and
a General Partnership,
51 University Avenue, hereinafter called "DEVELOPER," whose
place of business is 16575 Camellia Terrace, Los Gatos, California, and
is made with reference to the following facts:
The DEVELOPER, in Proceeding No. S 77 -6, has sought permission
from the TOWN under the provisions of the Town Zoning Ordinance to
change the use of land in the TOWN. The land is located at 51 University
Avenue. The TOWN Architecture and Site Committee has granted the per-
mission, on finding that approval of the development proposal is proper
if the obligations referred to in this agreement and as required in
Proceeding No. S 77 -6 are met by the DEVELOPER. One of the conditions
of approval of Proceeding No. S 77 -6 is that the DEVELOPER is required
to repair the existing private storm drainage conduit crossing the
land. The TOWN is planning to replace a portion of this conduit that
crosses the adjacent Town -owned property (former S.P.R.R. property).
This work is proposed to be done in conjunction with the proposed "CBD"
Parking Assessment District project. It is in the best interest of the
DEVELCPER and the TOWN to relocate this conduit into the street area
and abandon the existing system. The advantage to the DEVELOPER will
lie in removal of the conduit from its land; the advantage to the TOWN
will be that the line will be more accessible for maintenance.
THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. The TCWN shall authorize the engineer of work for the CBD
Parking District to prepare plans and specifications for the construction
4
1
of storm drain pipeline from the intersection of Santa Cruz Avenue
and Bean Avenue, along Elm Street to University Avenue approximately
50 feet northerly of Elm Street in the manner shown on the attached
Exhibit "A."
2. In conjunction with the "CBD" Assessment District proceedings,
the Town shall advertise for sealed competitive bids for the work of
installing the new storm drainage pipeline and shall award a contract
to the lowest responsible bidder.
3. Within ten days after the award of the construction contract
for the storm drainage improvements, the DEVELOPER shall either: (1)
make a cash payment to the TOWN in the amount of twenty percent (20 /")
of the bid amount for construction of the storm drainage improvements
plus engineering costs, including cost of engineering work done before
the project is bid, or, at the DEVELOPER'S election, (2) take whatever
steps are necessary in cooperation with the TOWN to include the storm
drainage cost as part of the assessment for the land if the land is
included within the proposed "CBD" Assessment District.
4. The TOWN shall complete the construction of the storm drainage
improvements by :larch 15, 1980.
5. With this agreement, the DEVELOPER is furnishing the TOWN
security in the form of a cash deposit or performance bond in the
amount of Six Thousand Dollars ($0,000.00) to secure the DEVELOPER'S
performance of all its obligations under this agreement. After the
cash payment, as outlined in Paragraph 3, is made to the TOWN or the
cost is included as part of an assessment for the land, obligations
of DEVELOPER pursuant to this agreement shall be considered complete
and the security released by the TC'NiJ.
6. When the work is done the DEVELOPER agrees to terminate the
-2-
use of the existing private storm conduit.
7. If for any reason the storm drainage work cannot be included
with the proposed "CBD" Assessment District, the TOWN shall have the
authority to do the storm drainage construction work as a separate
project, and the election provided in Part 3, subdivision (2) of this
agreement shall be unavailable to the DEVELOPER.
S. In the event of litigation to enforce the terms of this
agreement, the prevailing party shall have its costs and reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses. Interest on the total amount of any
money damages, whether or not precisely ascertainable or ascertained
at the time of filing of such action, will run from the date of such
filing at the yearly rate of nine percent (9 %). The Six Thousand
Dollar ($6,000) amount of the cash deposit or bond is an estimate of
the cost of the work, but is not a limit on the principal amount of the
DEVELOPER'S liability, which shall be the specified percentage of the
cost of the storm drainage work.
