Adopt Resolution #26-028 approving a Development Agreement and Stormwater Treatment and Ponding Maintenance Agreement for Northstar Truck & RV Parking LLC

On March 25, 2025, the City Council approved the Site Plan Review for Northstar Truck & RV Parking at 15861 Jarvis St. NW, a business that leases out parking spaces for trucks, recreational vehicles, boats, and other limited vehicles, contingent upon completing construction plans for the parking lot.  Those plans took longer than expected to prepare and work was not completed by the deadline date, so a time extension was granted on October 28, 2025.  Completion of the site improvements is expected by June 1, 2026, per the business owner's request.  As a normal part of private development, site sureties are collected to ensure work gets done, according to plan, and in a timely manner.  A development agreement (DA) is a legal document that allows the City to cash in the sureties and complete and/or correct deficient items, should the developer fail to do so.  The attached DA is modified from the City's template as there is no building on site and because the business' engineer did not provide detailed cost estimates for the work.  Staff is confident that this modified version will protect the City (and the neighborhood) and have the work done. 

Additionally, since all the storm water generated from the parking lot must be treated on-site, a Stormwater Treatment and Ponding Maintenance Agreement is required.  This agreement requires the property owner to maintain the storm water facilities properly.  This document is standard in form.  

All costs associated with this project are the responsibility of Northstar Truck & RV. 

Staff recommends approval of the DA and Stormwater Agreement.
