DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT — Phased Development
This Development Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of
, 2019, by and between Koelker Properties, LLC (the "Company") and
the City of Waterloo, Iowa (the "City").
RECITALS
A. City considers economic development within the City a benefit to the
community and is willing for the overall good and welfare of the community
to provide financial incentives so as to encourage that goal, and the City
further believes that the project is in the vital and best interests of the City
and that the project and such incentives are in accordance with the public
purposes and provisions of applicable State and local laws and
requirements under which the project has been undertaken and is being
assisted.
B. Company is willing and able to finance and construct buildings and related
improvements on property located in the East Waterloo Unified Urban
Renewal and Redevelopment Plan Area, formerly known as the Airport
Area Development Plan area, and legally described on Exhibit "A"
attached hereto (the "Property").
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein,
the parties agree as follows:
1. Sale of Property; Title. Subject to the terms hereof, City shall convey the
Property to Company for the sum of $1.00 (the "Purchase Price"). The parties
acknowledge that a portion of the Property is excess road right-of-way that has yet to be
vacated and that City will not convey title to the vacated right-of-way until the vacation
process has been completed. In addition, a portion of such right-of-way must be
handled under the processes required by Iowa Code § 306.22 et seq. The parties also
acknowledge that the easterly 80 feet, more or less, of the Property must be acquired
02)
Ig
by City from the current owner. The City agrees, at its own cost, to act with appropriate
diligence to undertake all necessary actions and required processes to assemble the
Property. Conveyance, whether of the whole Property or a lesser part thereof, shall be
by quit claim deed, free and clear of all encumbrances arising by or through City except:
(a) easements, servitudes, conditions and restrictions of record; (b) general utility and
right-of-way easements serving the Property; and (c) restrictions imposed by the City
zoning ordinances and other applicable law. City shall have no duty to convey title to
Company until Company delivers to City reasonable and satisfactory proof of financial
ability to undertake and carry on the Project (defined below), which may take the form of
a lending commitment letter. Company shall, at its own expense, prepare an updated
abstract of title, or in lieu thereof Company may, at its own expense, obtain whatever
form of title evidence it desires. City shall provide any title documents it has in its
possession, including any abstracts, to assist in title review. If title is unmarketable or
subject to matters not acceptable to Company, and if City does not remedy or remove
such objectionable matters in timely fashion following written notice of such objections
from Company, Company may terminate this Agreement without further obligation and
return the abstract of title to City.
2. Phased Development. The parties contemplate that Company will
develop the Property in phases, each of which is generally described as follows,
although more detailed plans for each phase will be developed at one or more future
dates:
A. Phase 1. A commercial building of approximately 12,300 square
feet.
B. Phase 2. A commercial building or addition of 10,000 square feet.
C. Phase 3. A commercial building or addition of 6,250 square feet.
For each phase, City may require that Company submit specific building designs and
site plans for City review and approval. Improvements to the Property completed within
the schedule established by Section 4 below will be eligible for the benefits provided for
in this Agreement, and any Phase of the Improvements not completed within the
prescribed period will not be eligible for said benefits.
3. Improvements by Company. Company shall construct on the Property
the improvements described in Section 2 above and also related parking, landscaping,
and other improvements to the buildings and grounds (collectively, the "Improvements").
Parking for each phase of Improvements shall meet City's minimum requirements
based on building use, occupancy, and future intended development on the Property.
The Improvements shall be constructed in accordance with all applicable City, state,
and federal building codes and shall comply with all applicable City ordinances and
other applicable law. The Property, the Improvements, and all site preparation and
development -related work to make the Property usable for Company's purposes as
contemplated by this Agreement are collectively referred to as the "Project".
2
4. Timeliness of Conveyance and Construction; Possibility of Reverter.
The parties agree that Company's commitment to undertake the Project and to
construct the Improvements in a timely manner constitutes a material inducement for
the City to convey the Property, or to cause the Property to be conveyed, to Company
and that without said commitment City would not do so.
A. Deadlines to commence and complete. Company must obtain a
building permit and begin construction on Phase 1 Improvements within three (3)
months after the date of this Agreement (the "Phase 1 Start Date") and must
complete construction by December 31, 2019 (the "Phase 1 Completion
Deadline"). If Company desires to undertake the Phase 2 Improvements and
Phase 3 Improvements, it must complete construction of same within five (5)
years of the date of this Agreement (the "Additional Phases Completion
Deadline") in order to qualify for the tax rebates set forth in Section 9 with respect
to each of such additional phases. For any phase, completion of construction
shall be evidenced by issuance of an occupancy permit.
B. Events triggering reverter of title. If, by the Project Start Date,
Company has not in good faith begun construction of the Improvements upon the
Property, then the City may terminate this Agreement following Company's
failure to begin construction within thirty (30) days following written notice of
default from City. If development has commenced by the Phase 1 Start Date or
within any agreed period of extension and is stopped and/or delayed as a result
of an act of God, war, civil disturbance, court order, labor dispute, fire, or other
cause beyond the reasonable control of Company, the requirement that
construction is to be completed by the Phase 1 Completion Deadline shall be
tolled for a period of time equal to the period of such stoppage or delay, and
thereafter if construction is not completed within the allowed period of extension
the City may terminate this Agreement following Company's failure to diligently
undertake construction within thirty (30) days following written notice of default
from City. If at any time Company fails to diligently undertake construction and
other activities necessary for completion of the Phase 1 Project, then City may
terminate this Agreement following Company's failure to resume and diligently
carry on construction within thirty (30) days following written notice of default
from City.
5. Reverter of Title; Indemnity. In the event of any reverter of title,
Company agrees that it shall, at its own expense, promptly execute all documents,
including but not limited to a special warranty deed, or take such other actions as the
City may reasonably request to effectuate said reverter and to deliver to City title to the
Property that is free and clear of any lien, claim, charge, security interest, mortgage or
encumbrance (collectively, "Liens") arising by or through Company. Concurrently with
delivery of the deed, Company shall also deliver to City the abstract of title. Company
shall pay in full, so as to discharge or satisfy, all Liens on or against the Property.
Appointment of Attorney in Fact: If Company fails to deliver such documents,
including but not limited to a special warranty deed, to City within thirty (30) days of
written demand by City, then City shall be authorized to execute, on Company's behalf
3
and as its attorney-in-fact, the special warranty deed required by this Section, and for
such limited purpose Company does hereby constitute and appoint City as its attorney-
in-fact.
Company further agrees that it shall indemnify City and hold it harmless
with respect to any demand, claim, cause of action, damage, or injury made, suffered,
or incurred as a result of or in connection with the Project, Company's failure to carry on
or complete same, or any Lien or Liens on or against the Property of any type or nature
whatsoever that attaches to the Property by virtue of Company's ownership of same. If
City files suit to enforce the terms of this Agreement and prevails in such suit, then
Company shall be liable for all legal expenses, including but not limited to reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred by City. Company's duties of indemnity pursuant to this
Section shall survive the expiration, termination or cancellation of this Agreement for
any reason.
6. No Encumbrances; Limited Exception. Until completion of the
Improvements, Company agrees that it shall not create, incur, or suffer to exist any
Liens on the Property, other than such mortgage or mortgages as may be reasonably
necessary to finance Company's completion of the Improvements and of which
Company notifies City before Company executes any such mortgage. Company may
not mortgage the Property or any part thereof for any purpose except in connection with
financing of the Improvements.
7. Utilities. Company will be responsible for extending water, sewer,
telephone, telecommunications, electricity, gas and other utility services to any location
on the Property and for payment of any associated connection fees.
8. Minimum Assessment Agreement. Company acknowledges and
agrees that it will pay when due all taxes and assessments, general or special, and all
other charges whatsoever levied upon or assessed or placed against the Property.
Company further agrees that prior to the date set forth in Section 2 of Exhibit "B" it will
not seek or cause a reduction in the taxable valuation for the Property, which shall be
fixed for assessment purposes, below the amount of $510,000.00 (the "Phase I
Minimum Actual Value"), through:
(i) willful destruction of the Property, the Improvements, or any part of
either;
(ii) a request to the assessor of Black Hawk County; or
(iii) any proceedings, whether administrative, legal, or equitable, with
any administrative body or court within the City, Black Hawk County, the State of
Iowa, or the federal government.
Company agrees to sign said attached Exhibit "B" at the closing. In connection with
construction of Phase 2 Improvements and Phase 3 Improvements, the parties will
execute and record separate amendments to the minimum assessment agreement for
4
the purpose of increasing the Minimum Actual Value to an amount that reflects the
value added by each of Phase 2 Improvements and Phase 3 Improvements.
9. Phase 2 and Phase 3 Tax Rebates. Provided that Company has
completed the Phase 2 Improvements and the Phase 3 Improvements as set forth in
this Agreement before the Additional Phases Completion Deadline and has executed an
amendment to the Minimum Assessment Agreement as set forth in Section 8 above,
City agrees to rebate property tax (with the exceptions noted below) as follows:
Year One through Year Five
50% rebate each year
(a) with respect to Phase 2 Improvements, for any taxable value over the starting
Minimum Actual Value of $510,000.00, and (b) with respect to Phase 3 Improvements,
for any taxable value over the Minimum Actual Value of Phase 1 and Phase 2
Improvements. Rebates are payable in respect of a given year only to the extent that
Company has actually paid general property taxes due and owing for such year. To
receive rebates for a given year, Company must, within twelve (12) months after the tax
payment due date, submit a completed rebate request to City on the form provided by
or otherwise satisfactory to City, or the rebate shall be forfeited.
The taxable value of the Property as a result of the Improvements must be
increased by a minimum of 10% and must increase the annual tax by a minimum of
$500.00. This rebate program is not applicable to any special assessment levy, debt
service levy, or any other levy that is exempted from treatment as tax increment
financing under the provisions of applicable law.
The first year of in which a rebate may be given ("Year One") shall be the
first full year for which the assessment is based upon the completed value of the Phase
2 Improvements and the Phase 3 Improvements, as applicable, and not based on a
prior year for which the assessment is based solely upon (x) the value of the Property,
or upon (y) the value of the Property and a partial value of the applicable phase
Improvements due to partial completion of such Improvements or a partial tax year.

warrants as follows:
A. City is not prohibited from consummating the transaction
contemplated in this Agreement by any law, regulation, agreement, instrument,

of Waterloo, Iowa ("Assessor").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, on or before the date hereof the City and Company have entered
into a development agreement (the "Development Agreement") regarding certain real
property, described in Exhibit "A" thereto, located in the City; and
WHEREAS, it is contemplated that pursuant to the Development Agreement, the

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT — Phased Development
This Development Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of
.t to , 2019, by and between Koelker Properties, LLC (the "Company") and
the City odf Waterloo, Iowa (the "City").
RECITALS
A. City considers economic development within the City a benefit to the
community and is willing for the overall good and welfare of the community
to provide financial incentives so as to encourage that goal, and the City
further believes that the project is in the vital and best interests of the City
and that the project and such incentives are in accordance with the public
purposes and provisions of applicable State and local laws and
requirements under which the project has been undertaken and is being
assisted.
B. Company is willing and able to finance and construct buildings and related
improvements on property located in the East Waterloo Unified Urban
Renewal and Redevelopment Plan Area, formerly known as the Airport
Area Development Plan area, and legally described on Exhibit "A"
attached hereto (the "Property").
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein,
the parties agree as follows:
1. Sale of Property; Title. Subject to the terms hereof, City shall convey the
Property to Company for the sum of $1.00 (the "Purchase Price"). The parties
acknowledge that a portion of the Property is excess road right-of-way that has yet to be
vacated and that City will not convey title to the vacated right-of-way until the vacation
process has been completed. In addition, a portion of such right-of-way must be
handled under the processes required by Iowa Code § 306.22 et seq. The parties also
acknowledge that the easterly 80 feet, more or less, of the Property must be acquired
by City from the current owner. The City agrees, at its own cost, to act with appropriate
diligence to undertake all necessary actions and required processes to assemble the
Property. Conveyance, whether of the whole Property or a lesser part thereof, shall be
by quit claim deed, free and clear of all encumbrances arising by or through City except:
(a) easements, servitudes, conditions and restrictions of record; (b) general utility and
right-of-way easements serving the Property; and (c) restrictions imposed by the City
zoning ordinances and other applicable law. City shall have no duty to convey title to
Company until Company delivers to City reasonable and satisfactory proof of financial
ability to undertake and carry on the Project (defined below), which may take the form of
a lending commitment letter. Company shall, at its own expense, prepare an updated
abstract of title, or in lieu thereof Company may, at its own expense, obtain whatever
form of title evidence it desires. City shall provide any title documents it has in its
possession, including any abstracts, to assist in title review. If title is unmarketable or
subject to matters not acceptable to Company, and if City does not remedy or remove
such objectionable matters in timely fashion following written notice of such objections
from Company, Company may terminate this Agreement without further obligation and
return the abstract of title to City.
2. Phased Development. The parties contemplate that Company will
develop the Property in phases, each of which is generally described as follows,
although more detailed plans for each phase will be developed at one or more future
dates:
A. Phase 1. A commercial building of approximately 12,300 square
feet.
B.
C.
Phase 2. A commercial building or addition of 10,000 square feet.
Phase 3. A commercial building or addition of 6,250 square feet.
For each phase, City may require that Company submit specific building designs and
site plans for City review and approval. Improvements to the Property completed within
the schedule established by Section 4 below will be eligible for the benefits provided for
in this Agreement, and any Phase of the Improvements not completed within the
prescribed period will not be eligible for said benefits.
3. Improvements by Company. Company shall construct on the Property
the improvements described in Section 2 above and also related parking, landscaping,
and other improvements to the buildings and grounds (collectively, the "Improvements").
Parking for each phase of Improvements shall meet City's minimum requirements
based on building use, occupancy, and future intended development on the Property.
The Improvements shall be constructed in accordance with all applicable City, state,
and federal building codes and shall comply with all applicable City ordinances and
other applicable law. The Property, the Improvements, and all site preparation and
development -related work to make the Property usable for Company's purposes as
contemplated by this Agreement are collectively referred to as the "Project".
2
4. Timeliness of Conveyance and Construction; Possibility of Reverter.
The parties agree that Company's commitment to undertake the Project and to
construct the Improvements in a timely manner constitutes a material inducement for
the City to convey the Property, or to cause the Property to be conveyed, to Company
and that without said commitment City would not do so.
A. Deadlines to commence and complete. Company must obtain a
building permit and begin construction on Phase 1 Improvements within three (3)
months after the date of this Agreement (the "Phase 1 Start Date") and must
complete construction by December 31, 2019 (the "Phase 1 Completion
Deadline"). If Company desires to undertake the Phase 2 Improvements and
Phase 3 Improvements, it must complete construction of same within five (5)
years of the date of this Agreement (the "Additional Phases Completion
Deadline") in order to qualify for the tax rebates set forth in Section 9 with respect
to each of such additional phases. For any phase, completion of construction
shall be evidenced by issuance of an occupancy permit.
B. Events triggering reverter of title. If, by the Project Start Date,
Company has not in good faith begun construction of the Improvements upon the
Property, then the City may terminate this Agreement following Company's
failure to begin construction within thirty (30) days following written notice of
default from City. If development has commenced by the Phase 1 Start Date or
within any agreed period of extension and is stopped and/or delayed as a result
of an act of God, war, civil disturbance, court order, labor dispute, fire, or other
cause beyond the reasonable control of Company, the requirement that
construction is to be completed by the Phase 1 Completion Deadline shall be
tolled for a period of time equal to the period of such stoppage or delay, and
thereafter if construction is not completed within the allowed period of extension
the City may terminate this Agreement following Company's failure to diligently
undertake construction within thirty (30) days following written notice of default
from City. If at any time Company fails to diligently undertake construction and
other activities necessary for completion of the Phase 1 Project, then City may
terminate this Agreement following Company's failure to resume and diligently
carry on construction within thirty (30) days following written notice of default
from City.
5. Reverter of Title; Indemnity. In the event of any reverter of title,
Company agrees that it shall, at its own expense, promptly execute all documents,
including but not limited to a special warranty deed, or take such other actions as the
City may reasonably request to effectuate said reverter and to deliver to City title to the
Property that is free and clear of any lien, claim, charge, security interest, mortgage or
encumbrance (collectively, "Liens") arising by or through Company. Concurrently with
delivery of the deed, Company shall also deliver to City the abstract of title. Company
shall pay in full, so as to discharge or satisfy, all Liens on or against the Property.
Appointment of Attorney in Fact: If Company fails to deliver such documents,
including but not limited to a special warranty deed, to City within thirty (30) days of
written demand by City, then City shall be authorized to execute, on Company's behalf
3
and as its attorney-in-fact, the special warranty deed required by this Section, and for
such limited purpose Company does hereby constitute and appoint City as its attorney-
in-fact.
Company further agrees that it shall indemnify City and hold it harmless
with respect to any demand, claim, cause of action, damage, or injury made, suffered,
or incurred as a result of or in connection with the Project, Company's failure to carry on
or complete same, or any Lien or Liens on or against the Property of any type or nature
whatsoever that attaches to the Property by virtue of Company's ownership of same. If
City files suit to enforce the terms of this Agreement and prevails in such suit, then
Company shall be liable for all legal expenses, including but not limited to reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred by City. Company's duties of indemnity pursuant to this
Section shall survive the expiration, termination or cancellation of this Agreement for
any reason.
6. No Encumbrances; Limited Exception. Until completion of the
Improvements, Company agrees that it shall not create, incur, or suffer to exist any
Liens on the Property, other than such mortgage or mortgages as may be reasonably
necessary to finance Company's completion of the Improvements and of which
Company notifies City before Company executes any such mortgage. Company may
not mortgage the Property or any part thereof for any purpose except in connection with
financing of the Improvements.
7. Utilities. Company will be responsible for extending water, sewer,
telephone, telecommunications, electricity, gas and other utility services to any location
on the Property and for payment of any associated connection fees.
8. Minimum Assessment Agreement. Company acknowledges and
agrees that it will pay when due all taxes and assessments, general or special, and all
other charges whatsoever levied upon or assessed or placed against the Property.
Company further agrees that prior to the date set forth in Section 2 of Exhibit "B" it will
not seek or cause a reduction in the taxable valuation for the Property, which shall be
fixed for assessment purposes, below the amount of $510,000.00 (the "Phase I
Minimum Actual Value"), through:
either;
(i) willful destruction of the Property, the Improvements, or any part of
(ii) a request to the assessor of Black Hawk County; or
(iii) any proceedings, whether administrative, legal, or equitable, with
any administrative body or court within the City, Black Hawk County, the State of
Iowa, or the federal government.
Company agrees to sign said attached Exhibit "B" at the closing. In connection with
construction of Phase 2 Improvements and Phase 3 Improvements, the parties will
execute and record separate amendments to the minimum assessment agreement for
4
the purpose of increasing the Minimum Actual Value to an amount that reflects the
value added by each of Phase 2 Improvements and Phase 3 Improvements.
9. Phase 2 and Phase 3 Tax Rebates. Provided that Company has
completed the Phase 2 Improvements and the Phase 3 Improvements as set forth in
this Agreement before the Additional Phases Completion Deadline and has executed an
amendment to the Minimum Assessment Agreement as set forth in Section 8 above,
City agrees to rebate property tax (with the exceptions noted below) as follows:
Year One through Year Five 50% rebate each year
(a) with respect to Phase 2 Improvements, for any taxable value over the starting
Minimum Actual Value of $510,000.00, and (b) with respect to Phase 3 Improvements,
for any taxable value over the Minimum Actual Value of Phase 1 and Phase 2
Improvements. Rebates are payable in respect of a given year only to the extent that
Company has actually paid general property taxes due and owing for such year. To
receive rebates for a given year, Company must, within twelve (12) months after the tax
payment due date, submit a completed rebate request to City on the form provided by
or otherwise satisfactory to City, or the rebate shall be forfeited.
The taxable value of the Property as a result of the Improvements must be
increased by a minimum of 10% and must increase the annual tax by a minimum of
$500.00. This rebate program is not applicable to any special assessment levy, debt
service levy, or any other levy that is exempted from treatment as tax increment
financing under the provisions of applicable law.
The first year of in which a rebate may be given ("Year One") shall be the
first full year for which the assessment is based upon the completed value of the Phase
2 Improvements and the Phase 3 Improvements, as applicable, and not based on a
prior year for which the assessment is based solely upon (x) the value of the Property,
or upon (y) the value of the Property and a partial value of the applicable phase
Improvements due to partial completion of such Improvements or a partial tax year.

warrants as follows:
A. City is not prohibited from consummating the transaction
contemplated in this Agreement by any law, regulation, agreement, instrument,

KOELKEIPROPERTIES, LLC ("Company"), and the COUNTY ASSESSOR of the City
of Waterloo, Iowa ("Assessor").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, on or before the date hereof the City and Company have entered
into a development agreement (the "Development Agreement") regarding certain real
property, described in Exhibit "A" thereto, located in the City; and
WHEREAS, it is contemplated that pursuant to the Development Agreement, the
Company will undertake the development of an area ("Project") within the City and

pursuant to this Agreement and applicable only to the Project, which shall be effective

actual value of the land and buildings as to the Project only; and
WHEREAS, the City and the Assessor have reviewed the preliminary plans and
specifications for the improvements (the "Improvements") which the parties contemplate
