Section 9. Water Improvement Project Standards.
Development Agreement for Diaz Meadows
Page 5 of 16
10685543.6 - 366922 - 0051
a) General. Developer will finance, design, and construct the Water Improvement
Project to comply with City standards, including obtaining all necessary permits, not to be
unreasonably withheld or conditioned by the City. The City will approve the plans before
construction begins; and the City may accept responsibility for the operation of the Water
Improvement Project in accordance with POMC 13.04.030 provided construction is completed,
the Water Improvement Project has been accepted, any transfer property documents are completed,
accepted, and recorded, and a two-year warranty and maintenance bond is in place, such
acceptance not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or denied. The Project will be deemed
completed when the requirements set forth in POMC 13.03.030(8)(f), have been completed.
b) Water Improvement Project. The Water Improvement Project will include design,
permitting, and construction, at Developer's sole expense of a new Water Main (Project #8, 580
to 390 Zone Transmission Project) that complies with the standards as set forth on Exhibits C and
D which are attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference as if set forth in full. Any
and all work within the right of way shall fully satisfy the requirements in POMC Chapter 12.04
and the City's right of way use permit process. In accordance with RCW 35.91.020, the Water
Improvement Project shall be constructed according to plans and specification approved by the
City. In addition, POMC 13.04.030.12 requires the materials used to comply with the requirements
of the City.
c) Bond Required. The Water Improvement Project construction work shall be
secured by a Performance Bond at 150% of the estimated construction costs. Construction of the
Water Improvement Project shall be inspected by the City, approval not to be unreasonably
withheld. In addition to the requirements in Section 9(a) above, the City's final approval of Water
Improvement Project shall be conditioned upon receipt from Developer of three (3) copies of as-
builts, a copy of the DWG files for the Water Improvement Project, and a two (2) year Maintenance
Bond at 20% of the construction costs, which shall be effective upon the City's release of the
Performance Bond. Upon acceptance of the Bill of Sale, the City shall release the Performance
Bond and shall accept full responsibility for the Water Improvement Project, except for those
maintenance obligations of Developer secured by the two-year Maintenance Bond. Upon City's
acceptance of the Water Improvement Project, Developer shall not be responsible for any further
costs, maintenance, or liability for the Water Improvement Project except as provided in the
maintenance bond. This provision survives the Termination of this Agreement.
Section 10. CFC Credits for Water Improvement Project.
a) Maximum Credit. In accordance with POMC 13.04.030(8), there is a maximum
amount of the Water CFC credit for the Water Improvement Project to be built by Developer.
There are three methods for calculating the credit as defined in POMC 13.04.030(8). The lowest
of these three calculations shall serve as the Maximum Credit Amount for improvements. The
three calculation methods are set forth on Exhibit E, which is attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference as if set forth in full. The three credit calculations are described as follows:
1. Water Capital Facility Charge Method. The Water Improvement Project was
identified in the CFC rate study adopted by the City as a $1,325,000.00 project that
is 75% funded by CFCs. The Developer is building twenty-seven percent (27%) of
Development Agreement for Diaz Meadows
Page 6 of 16
10685543.6 - 366922 - 0051
the total project watermain length and not constructing the PRV Station. The PRV
Station is estimated at $1-25,000 which is removed from the total project costs prior
to the calculation below. The Water Improvement Project is designed to be
oversized to meet the needs of future growth. The percentage of the facilities to be
used by the proposed Development Project is 25%, meaning that 75% of the added
capacity will be for other customers. Therefore, under the Water Facility Fee
method of (a) project cost of the project as defined in the Water CFC and reduced
by 25% because the project is 75% CFC funded multiplied by (b) the percentage of
the project being constructed by the developer (27%) by (c) the percentage of the
project that is excess capacity of the Water Improvement Project (75%), the
Developer would be credited $182,250 (($1,325,000 - $125,000) x .75 *.27 *.75).
The Parties agree with the accuracy and methodology of the Water Capital Facility
Charge method formula in Section 10(a)(1).
2. Certified Project Cost Method. The Certified Project Cost method is determined
by (a) identifying the certified construction costs of the Water Improvement Project
multiplied by (b) percentage of ERUs for excess capacity of the Water
Improvement Project, which as defined above, was 75% of the added capacity. The
Certified Project Cost method cannot be determined until the Parties certify the
Water Improvement Project costs as provided in Section 10(d) of this Agreement.
The Parties agree with the accuracy and methodology of the Certified Project Cost
method formula in Section 10(a)(2).
Total Water Capital Facility Charge owed by Developer Method. The Total
Water Capital Facility Fee Method is determined by (a) identifying the current CFC
at the time of the Agreement (currently $11,591) and multiplying by (b) number of
ERUs for Developer needs of current Water Improvement Project. Based on the
scope of the Development Project that is currently in development review, there are
expected to be 5 new water connections serving 96 multifamily units and common
areas. These connections are expected to use 25% of the Water Improvement
Project capacity. Therefore, under the Total Water Capital Facility Charge Method,
Developer would be required to pay a total of $1,112,736 in CFC charges. Because
this total is higher than the Water Capital Facility Charge Method in Section
10(a)(1), this option is unlikely to be used unless the Water CFC rate is reduced
significantly at the time that the building permits for the project are issued. The
Parties agree with the accuracy and methodology of the Certified Project Cost
method formula in Section 10(a)(3).
The Code requires that the total CFC credit be the lowest of the three calculated methods as set
forth above. Upon competition of the Certified Project Cost method as set forth in Section 10(d),
the City shall confirm the potential CFC Credits for the Developer. The lowest of the three
methodologies shall be the "Maximum Water CFC Credit' for the Developer, as authorized by
Code. At this point, the Parties anticipate that the Water Capital Facility Charge Method will likely
be the Maximum Water CFC Credit available to Developer, however, that is subject to
confirmation and change based on the above stated methodology. Once the Maximum Water CFC
Credit has been achieved through credits to Developer, Developer will be required to pay any
Development Agreement for Diaz Meadows
Page 7 of 16
10695543.6 - 366922 - 0051
CFCs that exceed the Maximum Water CFC Credit and will be required to comply with Chapter
13.04 POMC for any further development of the Property.
b) Deferral of CFC for Development Project. It is expected that Developer would owe
a total Water CFC payment of $1,112,736 to the City for the Development but would receive
Maximum Water CFC Credit of $182,250 (or alternative lesser amount as calculated by Section
10(a)(2) and 10(d)). Thus, the remaining CFC balance which is anticipated to be due at the time
of building permit issuance from the Developer to the City is $930,486. The Parties acknowledge
that this amount could change if the CFC fees are increased prior to permit issuance. Exhibit E
contains the estimated credit calculations for the CFC credit under the Code as applied to this
Development Project.
The City and Developer agree that these credits are consistent with RCW 82.02.060(4) and
that they are consistent with POMC 13.04.030,
c) Payment of CFC; deferral. Unless the CFC rate changes or the Development Project
scope changes between approval of this Agreement and issuance of building permits, the
Developer will not be required to pay the full CFCs prior to building permit issuance.
The Developer shall pay the CFC charges as required as of the Effective Date of this
Agreement, except as deferred herein. The amount of full CFC charge required may change if
Developer changes the scope of the Development Project or if the timing of the building permits
is such that the CFC is adjusted. The Parties anticipate that the Maximum Water CFC Credit for
the Water Improvement Project as described in this Section and on Exhibit E will not cover more
than $182,250 of the Water CFC charge amount. The City agrees to defer $182,250 of the Water
CFC charge amount owing but will not issue certificates of occupancy until the certified projects
costs are established and the maximum credit amount is confirmed as described in Section 10(d).
If the maximum credit amount after establishing certified project costs is less than the deferred
amount of $182,250, then the Developer shall pay the difference prior to being granted certificates
of occupancy on the Project.
d) Certification of Project Costs. Upon completion of the Water Improvement Project,
Developer shall submit certified project costs to the City for review and acceptance by the City
Engineer; provided however, City shall use its best efforts to review and reach a final determination
within 30 calendar days of receipt, provided all information needed by the City to determine the
correct certified costs is included in the submittal. Once these costs and the executed Bill of Sale
are reviewed and accepted by the City Engineer, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or
delayed, the Maximum Water CFC Credit due to Developer will be established and will equal the
Maximum Water Project Credit as so certified in accordance with this Section 10. Certificates of
occupancy for the final residential structure in the Development Project will be withheld by the
City until the construction costs are certified and accepted by the City and any remaining Water
CFC fee balance has been paid; provided, however, the City shall use best available efforts to
review and certify the credits applicable to the CFC balance within 30 days of receipt.
Section 11. Permitted Design Modiflcations.
Development Agreement for Diaz Meadows
Page 8 of 16
10685543.6 - 366922 - 0051
a) The Development Project is not subject to the minimum two -foot (2') ground floor
elevation requirement that is set forth in POMC 20.32.100 as applicable to all "Apartment"
building types, regardless of site topography or other design considerations. The Development
Project provides equal or better ground floor privacy for residents and aesthetic screening than
could be provided with strict adherence to the Code, therefore, the City has agreed that Developer
may depart from the requirements of POMC 20.32.100 in the following manner: no minimum
ground floor elevation shall be applied.
b) The Development Project may depart from strict compliance with to Port Orchard
Design standards at POMC 20.127.210(2) which require at least one building entrance be visible
and directly accessible from the street for each building and which require that where buildings
are setback from the street, pedestrian connections are required from the sidewalk. The
Development Project provides an equal or better design and access which will include two access
walkways being added to the design near the leasing office and between Buildings 3 and 4 to give
access to Old Clifton Road which is a more convenient connection for the residents. A Site Plan
showing the departures as described in this subsection is attached hereto as Exhibit F and
incorporated herein by this reference as if set forth in full.
c) The Development Project may depart from strict compliance with POMC
20.128.050(5) which requires certain plant diversity be installed, and POMC 20.128.070 which
requires a three-foot minimum height for planters or walls within landscape areas with a maximum
height of five -feet, requires landscaping strips to be a minimum of five -feet wide, and allows
landscaped screening of large walls to be integrated into the plan to screen walls that are more than
five -feet tall. Such departure is necessary due to the site topography which requires larger retaining
walls. To make space available to meet parking requirements, large retaining walls up to 15-feet
in height may be located along the northern property line along with a six-foot wall installed in a
cut section along the southern property line. Adjacent properties on the north and south sides of
the property are undeveloped with no access agreements from the property owners. In order to
creatively screen the north wall for the neighbors without having to access their site, the
Development Project by install a variety of native vines that will be planted at the top of the wall
at the northernmost edge to make a primarily green wall which will be filled in within a three -to -
five -year period. The wall will be screened per code but will be done from the top rather than the
bottom of the retaining wall. This will ensure that there is no encroachment of either plants or
maintenance access on the neighbor's property to the north. Additionally, diverse screening
plantings per POMC 20.128.070 and POMC 20.128.050(5) along with a four -foot -high wrought
iron fence shall be included in the planting area on top of the wall. This will provide a dense and
varied, mostly native, screening of the site and from the site toward neighbors to the north. The
southern property line is ten feet from the back of Building No.I and the Leasing Office, up to six
feet below the adjacent property elevation. This area for all practical purposes is blocked from the
adjacent undeveloped property and proposed parking lot area. The Development Project shall
meet, as close as feasible, the Type B landscape requirements near the dog park area and along the
patio/playground area near the Leasing Office. These are visual areas that will benefit the project
and provide screening from the adjacent property. As proposed, the landscaping departures for the
Development Project provides an equal or better configuration for landscaping and therefore a
departure from strict compliance with these sections is appropriate. A Site Plan showing the
departures as described in this subsection is attached hereto as Exhibit F and incorporated herein

Development Agreement for Diaz Meadows
Exhibit D
Exhibit E — CFC Credit calculation estimation for this Development Project and Water
Improvement Proiect.
Water Capital Facility Charge Method. The Water Improvement Project was
identified in the CFC rate study adopted by the City as a $1,325,000.00 project that
is 75% funded by CFCs. The Developer is building twenty-seven percent (27%) of
the total project watermain length and not constructing the PRV Station. The PRV
Station is estimated at $125,000 which is removed from the total project costs prior
to the calculation below. The Water Improvement Project is designed to be
oversized to meet the needs of future growth. The percentage of the facilities to be
used by the proposed Development Project is 25%, meaning that 75% of the added
capacity will be for other customers. Therefore, under the Water Facility Fee
method of (a) project cost of the project as defined in the Water CFC and reduced
by 25% because the project is 75% CFC funded multiplied by (b) the percentage of
the project being constructed by the developer (27%) by (c) the percentage of the
project that is excess capacity of the Water Improvement Project (75%), the
Developer would be credited $182,250 (($1,325,000 - $125,000) x .75 *.27 *.75).
The Parties agree with the accuracy and methodology of the Water Capital Facility
Charge method formula in Section 10(a)(1).
2. Certified Project Cost Method. The Certified Project Cost method is determined
by (a) identifying the certified construction costs of the Water Improvement Project
multiplied by (b) percentage of ERUs for excess capacity of the Water
Improvement Project, which as defined above, was 75% of the added capacity. The
Certified Project Cost method cannot be determined until the Parties certify the
Water Improvement Project costs as provided in Section 10(d) of this Agreement.
The Parties agree with the accuracy and methodology of the Certified Project Cost
method formula in Section 10(a)(2).
3. Total Water Capital Facility Charge owed by Developer Method. The Total
Water Capital Facility Fee Method is determined by (a) identifying the current CFC
at the time of the Agreement (currently $11,591) and multiplying by (b) number of
ERUs for Developer needs of current Water Improvement Project. Based on the
scope of the Development Project that is currently in development review, there are
expected to be 5 new water connections serving 96 multifamily units and common
areas. These connections are expected to use 25% of the Water Improvement
Project capacity. Therefore, under the Total Water Capital Facility Charge Method,
Developer would be required to pay a total of $1,112,736 in CFC charges. Because
this total is higher than the Water Capital Facility Charge Method in Section
10(a)(1), this option is unlikely to be used unless the Water CFC rate is reduced
significantly at the time that the building permits for the project are issued. The
Parties agree with the accuracy and methodology of the Certified Project Cost
method formula in Section 10(a)(3).
