Reyher and Marana 348 are referred to collectively as the "Owner." The Town, Reyher and Marana 348 are sometimes collectively referred to as the "Parties." RECITALS A. The Parties entered into a "Public Facility Acquisition Agreement" dated May 24, 1999 (the "1999 Agreement"), which was amended and superseded by a "Real Estate Exchange and Development Agreement" recorded October 10, 2003 at Docket 12154, Page 2148, Pima County Recorder's office (the "Exchange Agreement"), which in turn was amended by an "Amendment to Real Estate Exchange and Development Agreement" recorded July 14, 2006 at Docket 12846, Page 4712, Pima County Recorder's office (the "Exchange Agreement Amendment"). B. Among other things, the 1999 Agreement, the Exchange Agreement, and the Exchange Agreement Amendment provided terms and conditions for the development of Marana's Town Center, including (i) the transfer and sale of land from the Owner to the Town for the construction of a new Town Hall and Civic Center Site (the "Marana Municipal Complex"), (ii) the development of the Owner's lands addressed by the agreements, and (iii) the dedication and construction of various public infrastructure necessary to serve the Marana Municipal Complex and the Town Center. C. Development within the Town Center has included construction of the Marana Municipal Complex and a Northwest Fire District fire station, and preliminary site work for the construction of the Marana Health Center (which is addressed by a separate "Marana Health Center Development Agreement" recorded on July 2, 2008 at Docket 13340, Page 20, Pima County Recorder's office, referred to in this Agreement as the "MHC Agreement"). D. The Owner still owns the lands referred to in this Agreement as the "Owner's Remaining Lands" and particularly described in the Exchange Agreement as Block 2, Block 3, and Block 4, and those portions of Block 1 and Block 5 that are not included in either the MHC Agreement or in the right-of--way of Bill Gaudette Road (addressed in the Exchange Agreement Amendment). {OOOI9440.DOC/} TOWN OF MARANA /REYHER PARTNERSHIP & MARANA 348LIMITED PARTNERSHIP BARNETT CHANNEL EXCAVATION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT - 1 - 2/8/2010 4:37 PM EXHIBIT A TO MARANA RESOLUTION NO.2010-19 E. The development of the Town Center, including the Owner's Remaining Lands, will benefit from the Town's proposed development of a regional public drainage facility in the vicinity of Barnett Road, commonly referred to as the "Barnett Channel." F. The Owner is willing, at no cost to the Town, to excavate portions of the Barnett Channel in a manner consistent with the current plans and specifications for the Barnett Channel in exchange for the placement and use of the. excavated Barnett Channel dirt on the Owner's Remaining Lands. G. The Town finds and concludes that the value of the Barnett Channel excavation to be accomplished by Owner, the improved drainage characteristics of the Town Center resulting from the placement of the dirt as fill on the Owner's Remaining Lands, and the economic development benefits of having the Owner's Remaining Lands filled in preparation for development are sufficient consideration for the value of the dirt to be excavated. AGREEMENT Now, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 1. Barnett Channel Dirt. The Owner may at its own cost and using its own contractor excavate dirt from the Barnett Channel for use on the Owner's Remaining Lands in connection with their ultimate development, provided that the excavation is consistent with the ultimate design of the Barnett Channel and has not previously been excavated. The Owner shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Town Engineer that the resulting pit will drain within 36 hours. 2. No Modification of Prior Agreements.
