Alternative Action(s):
Do not authorize execution of the agreement, with findings for denial, and direct staff accordingly. Absent this agreement, the City would be responsible for construction and maintenance of the improvements within the public right-of-way related to the subject project, which would result in increased future maintenance costs for the City. Additionally, without this Agreement, the developer would be unable to satisfy the project’s Conditions of Approval.

The 414-424 Main Street mixed-use project is a four story; mixed-use development located on the east side of Main Street, between Orange Avenue and Pecan Avenue, and consists of 5,000 square feet of retail, 20 residential units (condos), and subterranean parking. The project’s development requirements include the construction of and responsibilities for future maintenance of landscaping and hardscape improvements within the Main Street and public alley right-of-ways. To document this responsibility, the developer/owner is required to execute the appropriate landscape maintenance license agreement for all landscaping, irrigation, street furniture, and enhanced hardscape that encroaches into the aforementioned City right-of-ways. In addition to landscaping and irrigation, the agreement also addresses enhanced sidewalk cleaning, trash cans, disposal of trash, signs, tree replacement, and all other aspects of maintenance for these areas, and that property ownership shall be responsible for all costs associated with this maintenance, repair, replacement, and liability.
