DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
This Development Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of
"?(%Mx 3 ul y 7 , 2025, by and between Dhani RE Investments LLC ("Developer"),
and the City of Waterloo, Iowa ("City").
RECITALS
A. Developer is willing and able to finance and rehabilitate an existing
property located at 512 N Barclay Street, Waterloo, Iowa (the "Property"),
legally described as set forth on Exhibit "A" attached hereto.
B. 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. City believes
that rehabilitation of the Property is in the best interests of the City and in
accordance with the public purposes and provisions of the applicable
State and local laws and requirements under which the project has been
undertaken and is being assisted.
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 Developer for the sum of $15,000.00 (the "Purchase Price"), of which
$1,000.00 shall be paid in certified funds to City to be held in trust as earnest money
and applied at closing to the Purchase Price. Conveyance 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) current and future real estate real
property taxes and assessments subject to the agreements made herein; (c) general
utility and right-of-way easements serving the Property; and (d) restrictions imposed by
the City zoning ordinances and other applicable law. City shall have no duty to convey
Docusign Envelope ID: 18F31CF0-19E7-46F2-ACC6-6D9E65F337B4
title to Developer until Developer 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. Developer may, at its own expense, obtain
whatever form of title evidence it desires. If title is unmarketable or subject to matters
not acceptable to Developer, and if City does not remedy or remove such objectionable
matters in timely fashion following written notice of such objections from Developer,
Developer may terminate this Agreement. City shall provide any title documents it has
in its possession, including any abstracts, to assist in title review.
2. Improvements by Developer. Developer acknowledges that it has had a
reasonable opportunity to inspect the Property and to conduct other due diligence
related to the Project. Developer agrees to accept the Property in its "AS IS" condition,
without any warranty from City, expressed or implied, as to the condition of the
Property, its marketability, or its fitness for any particular purpose. Developer shall
rehabilitate the existing structure(s) on the Property for single-family residential
purposes and make other improvements to the buildings and grounds (collectively, the
"Improvements"). Improvements are generally described on Exhibit "B" attached hereto.
The Improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
all applicable City, state, and federal building codes and shall comply with all applicable
City ordinances and other applicable law. Developer will use its best efforts to obtain, or
cause to be obtained, in a timely manner, all required permits, licenses and approvals,
and will meet, in a timely manner, all requirements of all applicable local, state, and
federal laws and regulations which must be obtained or met before the Improvements
may be lawfully constructed. The Property, the Improvements, and all other work to
make the project site usable for Developer's purposes as contemplated by this
Agreement are collectively referred to as the "Project".
3. Timeliness of Construction; Possibility of Reverter. The parties agree
that Developer's commitment to cause the Project to be undertaken and to rehabilitate
the Property in a timely manner constitutes a material inducement for the City to extend
the development incentives provided for in this Agreement, including but not limited to
its commitment to convey the Property to Developer, and that without said commitment
City would not have done so. Subject to Unavoidable Delays (defined below),
Developer must obtain a building permit and begin construction of the Improvements
within six (6) months from the date of that it receives title to the Property from City (the
"Project Start Date"), and Substantially Complete rehabilitation within fourteen (14)
months thereafter (the "Project Completion Date"). For purposes of this Agreement,
"Substantially Completed" means the date on which the rehabilitation Improvements
have been completed to the extent necessary for the City to issue a certificate of
occupancy relating thereto, or the date on which the rehabilitation Improvements has
passed Final Inspection, and City has also verified that any Project element for which no
permit was necessary has been Substantially Completed.
If Developer does not Substantially Complete construction of the
Improvements on the schedule stated above, then City may terminate this Agreement
as set forth in Section 13, and City shall then have no further obligation under this
2
Docusign Envelope ID: 18F31CF0-19E7-46F2-ACC6-6D9E65F337B4
Agreement. In any circumstance where Developer's progress on the Project fails to
meet the schedule stated above, then City's Community Planning and Development
Director may, but shall not be required to, consent to an extension of time of up to six
(6) months for the construction of the Improvements, and if an extension is granted but
construction of the Improvements has not begun within such extended period, then any
further time extensions will require consent of the City Council. If development has
commenced within the required period, as the same may be extended, and is
subsequently stopped 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
Developer (each an "Unavoidable Delay"), the requirement that construction be
completed by the Completion Deadline shall be tolled for a period of time equal to the
period of Unavoidable Delay.
4. Reverter of Title; Indemnity. In the event of any reverter of title,
Developer 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 Developer. Developer shall
pay in full, so as to discharge or satisfy, all Liens on or against the Property. In
connection with any reverter of title, Developer shall not be entitled to a refund of the
Purchase Price. Appointment of Attorney in Fact: If Developer fails to deliver such
documents, including but not limited to a special warranty deed, to City within thirty (30)
days after written demand by City, then City shall be authorized to execute, on
Developer's behalf and as its attorney-in-fact, the special warranty deed required by this
Section, and for such limited purpose Developer does hereby constitute and appoint
City as its attorney-in-fact.
Developer further agrees that it shall indemnify City and hold it harmless
with respect to any demand, claim, cause of action, damage, cost, expense, liability or
injury made, suffered, or incurred as a result of or in connection with the Project, or
Developer'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
Developer's ownership of same. If City files suit to enforce the terms of this Agreement
and prevails in such suit, then Developer shall be liable for all legal expenses, including
but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by City. Developer's duties of
indemnity pursuant to this Section shall survive the expiration, termination or
cancellation of this Agreement for any reason.
5. Reserved.
6. Utilities. Developer will be responsible for obtaining or extending water,
sewer, telephone, electricity, gas and other utility services to any location on the Project
Site and for payment of any associated connection fees and costs of usage after the
date of conveyance from City.
