DISCUSSION:
Recommendation
AG Sunflower Ridge, LLC is the developer of approximately 70 acres at the southwest corner of Orion Street and Goodwin Lane. On April 24, 2024, the City of New Braunfels and the developer executed a Trailhead and Trail Development Agreement for the design, construction, and dedication of a 0.33-mile segment of the Alligator Creek Trail and a 2.0-acre trailhead park featuring a playground, picnic tables, bike racks, landscaping, and other amenities. The agreement calls for dedication of the trail (by easement) and trailhead (by deed) to the City upon completion of construction.
ISSUE:
The original development agreement required the final completion of construction of the Trailhead and Trail, including all punch list items, to be completed no later than June 30, 2026. As a result of weather delays and supply issues, the developer was unable to meet this timeline. The proposed Amendment to the Development Agreement extends the deadline for final completion of construction and punch list items to no later than September 30, 2026. All other provisions of the original agreement and exhibits not in conflict with the Amendment shall remain in full force.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board make a recommendation to City Council to approve an amendment to the development agreement with AG Sunflower Ridge, LLC. Recommendation
