16 EDA Agenda Item Report Date: January 7, 2019 EDA Executive Director: 4-G Agenda Item: Approval of First Amendment to Contract for Private Redevelopment rd Avenue South Action to be considered: Motion to approve Amendment No. 1 to Purchase Agreement with Witt and Sons, Inc. Overview: In July 2018, the EDA approved resolution , Authorizing the sale and conveyance of property at rd Avenue South to Witt & Sons as part of the Rediscover South St. Paul program. A Development Agreement between the EDA and Developer identified (among other things) that work on the construction of a single-family home was to begin by September 4, 2018, and to conclude within one year of commencement. As of January 1, 2019, the Developer has not yet begun construction. We have been in communication with the developer and they have requested additional time to commence construction. Staff is recommending an Amendment to the Agreement that adjusts the Commencement Date to no later than June 1, 2019 and the Completion Date to no later than October 31, The delay in commencement has been caused in part by a delayed closing for the buyer to line up financing and their ongoing difficulty in finding a builder. Staff is optimistic that the Developer is making progress towards commencing the project in early Spring We do not anticipate suggesting additional extensions, should the Developer be incapable of moving forward as quickly as possible this coming Spring. If that comes to pass, Staff would recommend we reclaim the property and market it for sale once again. Funding Sources and other fiscal considerations: N/A
