BACKGROUND There are approximately 45 acres of deed restricted land currently existing within CMN Business Park II Phases I, II and III. Under consideration for donation to the City of Fayetteville by Steele Crossing Investment III, LLC are approximately 5.06 acres of this deed restricted land. Steele Crossing Investment III, LLC donated approximately 17.9 acres of land associated with CMN Business Park II Phase III (15 39 acres) and Lot 5 (2.49 acres) to the City of Fayetteville in October 2007. These parcels will accommodate the construction of north Scull Creek Trail Additionally, the owner of Phase III (Leonard Boen) has dedicated a public access easement for a portion of Scull Creek Trail that lies between the two land donations. The proposed 5.06 -acre land donation is located in CMN Business Park II Lots 8 and 14. (See enclosed colored 11" x 17" exhibit.) This additional parcel will provide a continuation of green corridor in accordance with the City Plan 2025 goal of assembling an enduring green network, and could possibly accommodate a future nature trail loop connecting to Mud Creek Trail. The proposed land donation was approved by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board on May 5, 2008 (see attached minutes). DISCUSSION The proposed land donation is deed restricted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers through a 404 permit. Under the regulations of the existing 404 permit (see enclosed copy), mitigation and monitoring of the deed restricted land is required. Mitigation and monitoring of the deed restricted land is complete (see enclosed letter from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers). Page 1 of 2 City Council Meeting of June 3, 2008 Agenda Item Number BUDGET IMPACT This land donation is expected to have minimal impact to the Parks and Recreation budget. The deed restriction classification limits the use of the land and results in very little maintenance.

The Owner proposes to deed the Restricted Area shown on Exhibit A to this letter (the "Property") to the City in fee simple absolute for use by the City subject to the restrictions and obligations imposed on the Property under the Restrictive/Protective Covenants and or Bill of Assurance for CMN Business Park 1I, Phase I & II, filed of record in the records of Washington County, Arkansas, as well as the Deed Restrictions described in the Notice of Deed Restrictions initially filed December 14, 1999 (the "Restrictions"). Under the Restrictions, the Property must be used in a manner consistent with the existing restrictions imposed on the property under the Section 404 Permit issued by the Army Corps of Engineers which is attached as an exhibit to the Restrictions. Under the Permit, the Corps of Engineers required certain monitoring for a period of five years following the date of issue. As evidenced by the letter of the Corps of Engineers dated February 16, 2007, the required mitigation has been successfully completed and the monitoring period has expired. Upon acceptance of the Deed, the City would be responsible for the monitoring and obligations of the owner of the Property under the Restrictions and Section 404 Permit. The assumption of these obligations will be set forth on the deed to the City. The final determination of the area of the Property to be donated will be determined by the Owner and the City taking into account any portion thereof needed by the Owner in the development of the remaining property for use as set backs, buffers, landscape barriers, canopy requirements and other needs. The contribution would occur on or before December 31, 2007. As an additional condition to the contribution, the Owner will have the Property appraised and City will acknowledge the value of the Property as set forth in the appraisal and 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 • 1s will execute such documentation as required by the Internal Revenue Service to substantiate the donation of the Property to the City. We are very excited about the opportunity to make this gift to the City and contribute to the Property for the further preservation of the Mud Creek Area for the benefit of the City and its residents.

Mitigation and monitoring of the deed restricted land is complete. The deed restriction classification limits the use of the land and results in very little maintenance. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends accepting the additional land donation and forwarding to City Council for final approval. Hatfield commented that it is a deed restricted area. He asked that if we didn't accept the donation, how would this impact the developer.. C. Jones said that low impact amenities could be done, but not much else. Hatfield asked what the requirement was to monitor this land. C Jones answered that the monitoring is complete, but the Corp restrictions still have to be maintained. Hatfield asked that if we take the land as a donation, will the tax be collected. Colwell said the City might be losing property taxes from the property. Mihalevtch said that if we want to do anything with the property, we would have to deal with the Corp. Colwell asked if it was located in a wet area. Mihalevich said that it wasn't as wet as some other areas. Edmonston said she would find out about the property taxes. Hatfield said that since it is a deed restricted area, what is the City's responsibility for the drainage. C Jones said that she didn't recall. Hatfield said that if there was a massive flood, Parks wouldn't have to go in and restore. Mihalevich said that if the flood damages the bridge, Parks would have to repair. Bitter said that we have accepted several of these already. C Jones said that the deed was supposed to be all signed off before this meeting, but it wasn't. The deed can be done as conditional. PRAB Motion: Hatfield motioned to accept the land donation with signatures. Davidson seconded it. Motion passed 8-0-0 by voice vote. 12/22/90 14:33 FAX 501 443 4707 121. ••• PICK] AIARRINCFON 0000 DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY PERMIT Pertnittee: CMN Properties (NANCHAR, INC. ANO MARJORIE•S.
