Proposed City Council Motion:
I move for second reading of an Ordinance approving a Real Estate Sale Agreement between Oldham Investors, LLC, and the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, for the purchase of property located at 101 SW Oldham Parkway within the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri.
Background:
Oldham Investors, LLC (“Seller”), is a special purpose entity formed by Drake Development (“Developer”) for the ownership and development of land located at 101 SW Oldham Parkway. Seller and the City have negotiated a purchase agreement for approximately 8.52 +/- acres of land generally located at the southwest corner of Highway 50 and Highway 291 in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Developer is requesting incentives, which will be considered by the City Council at a later date.
Impact/Analysis:
The attached summary sheet provides a summary of the key terms payment provision in the agreement allows for a number of different payment methods, to be mutually agreed-upon by the City and Developer at a later date as the incentives are considered by the City Council. The payment methods include the following payment options by the City:
(1) Cash at closing;
(2) Payment to Seller of one or more tax revenues that may be approved by the City Council for the Project in connection with the Incentives, upon terms, and in such amounts, as are reasonably acceptable to Seller;
(3) a credit for the transfer by Buyer to Seller of that certain approximately 0.2 acres parcel located at 1305 SW Jefferson Street pursuant to a separate City (as Seller thereunder) and Seller (as Buyer thereunder) (the “Jefferson Street Property Contract”), which Jefferson Street Property Buyer and Seller agree, for purposes hereof, has a value of $234,000.00;
(4) deferral of certain payments to be made by Seller to Buyer in exchange for certain sanitary sewer improvements to be performed by Buyer; and/or
(5) other payment methods reasonably acceptable to Seller.
Timeline:
This transaction is expected to close in late 2024 or early 2025 promptly after completion of due diligence by the City and successful governmental approvals granted to Developer for the project.
