MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Christopher J. Russo, City Manager
DATE: January 15, 2015
RE: Resolution approving the First Amendment to the License Agreement with
Chateau Beach, LLC
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the First Amendment to the License
Agreement with Chateau Beach, LLC.
REASONS
To facilitate the construction of Chateau Beach condominium building (the "Project"), the City
and Chateau Beach entered into a License Agreement on May 30, 2012, (the "License
Agreement") to allow Chateau Beach to use Samson Oceanfront Park (the "Property") for
Project staging purposes. The License Agreement requires Chateau Beach to restore the Property
to its original condition prior to being used for Project staging purposes. Additionally, the
License Agreement required Chateau Beach to install a new playground and make a contribution
of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000.00) to the City, which they have made. The City is
planning more extensive improvements beyond its original condition of Samson Park, and the
City desires that these improvements be constructed comprehensively, along with the entire park
rehabilitation project,which will be overseen and funded by the City.
The parties desire to amend the License Agreement to allow Chateau Beach to pay an additional
Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) to the City in lieu of restoring the Property to its
original condition prior to being used for Project staging purposes and installation of decorative
pavers in front of the park. The First Amendment further requires that Chateau Beach pay for all
expenses associated with a Phase I Environmental test conducted by a firm hired by the City to
conduct certain environmental testing of the "staging area". If the environmental test reveals
contamination and requires remediation, Chateau Beach agrees to provide the City with a Five
Hundred Thousand Dollar ($500,000.00) bond to ensure the Property is clear of any negative
environmental conditions caused by Chateau Beach. At the request of the City, Chateau Beach
shall ensure that the construction fencing and landscaping currently used to designate the staging
area remains upright and in place until removal by the City. Finally, the First Amendment
modifies the term of the License Agreement to state it shall expire on March 31, 2015, or upon
delivery to Chateau Beach (subsequent to March 31, 2015) of a letter from the City Manager
notifying Chateau Beach it must vacate the staging area within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the
letter.
