A cope ~esre: ~;~~,~ ~-~~-~ Chairman =~.,~ ~ Vice Chairman ~_~,_ Secretary ELECTORAL BOARD (SEALI i Secretary, Electoral Board July 3, 1990 8769 SHOPPING CENTER MEMORIAL DRIVE events of the past public hearings and court case to bring the citizens' concerns up to the present. Mr. Warner asked of Council how involved Council had become with the developer (Wyatt Development) to make sure he intends to deliver what Vermillion promised? Mr. Warner further asked of Council how many members of Counci_ had been by the site? All members of Council indicated they had been by the site since grading had started. Mr. Warner further expressed concern and asked that Council look intently at the width of Peppers Ferry Road and the lack of a sidewalk for pedestrian traffic. Mr. Warner expressed concern that the Town have some type of leverage to insure completion of the center. Mr. Warner asked of Council the following questions: 1) Who is the present developer of the shopping center? Council members responded that the developer was Wyatt Development. 2) Who owns title of the land that was conveyed from the Allison estate? Town Attorney Frank Terwilliger advised that W. D. Development Partnership of South Carolina and the General Partnership holds title to 20 some acres and Hunt & Associates has a ground lease to the same partnership on the 1.7 acre parcel. It's a ground lease with a ten year term with 6 renewal periods of 10 years each, which the primary purpose of is the development of the shopping center. Mayor Hancock indicated that Mr. Warner and Mr. Claud Kirkland had met with Mr. Holycross, Mr. Terwilliger, and Councilman Neighbors a week earlier and had asked them basically the same questions, and although Council appreciates any comments the citizens have to make, it was felt that these same questions had been answered at the earlier meeting. Mayor Hancock further advised that if there was any additional information that the citizens did not have Staff and Council would be glad to make this information available. Mr. Warner stated that the information he was being given was erroneous, which is the point that he is trying to make. Mr. Warner stated the land is held by W. D. Development Partnership, "Pulaski". Wyatt Development is listed in the legal documents as Wyatt Ventures, a managing partner of W. D. Development. Is W. D. Development something that has been spun off to handle just this Pulaski shopping center? "4ayor Hancock advised in situations such as this the corporate entities may be very different as there are a lot of levels of corporate entities. Mr. Warner stated the 1.7 acres of land from Hunt & Associates has not been purchased, it has been leased. Mr. Warner asked if this was the intent of Council that the developer should own or lease the 1.7 acres? Mr. Warner stated that the 1.7 acres was what made the shopping center significantly different before Judge Arthur in the estimation of the concerned citizens who brought the suit. Mr. Terwilliger indicated in the ground lease was an option to purchase over the next two years. Mr. Terwilliger further stated that in the ground lease the use of the 1.7 acres was as a shopping center. Mr. Terwilliger further stated that the zoning follows the land whether it remains with one owner or is ground let to another owner, it does not affect the zoning of the property. The use is defined by the conditional zoning that is on the property. Mr. Warner stated the gentleman does not have an option to purchase the land until January 1, 1991. Mr. Warner expressed concern that if the man can't buy the 1.7 acres today, why should he have to wait until January 1, 1990 to buy it. Mr. Warner again asked, "Does Council feel that the developer should own the 1.7 acres, not lease it July 3, 1990 8770 but own it?" Mr. Warner was advised that the Town Attorney had looked into the issue and had indicated the developer has the means to acquire the property which fully satisfies the law. Mr. Warner stated he had the means to acquire it after January 1, 1991, he has no means to acquire it until then. Mr. Warner asked if Council should issue a building permit prior to January 1, 1991 if he doesn't own the 1.7 acres? It was again stated by Vice-Mayor Neighbors that Mr. Warner was asking the same questions that were asked and answered in the earlier meeting between Mr. Warner, Mr. Kirkland, Mr. Holycross, Mr. Terwilliger and himself. Mr. Warner asked if the term "Seven Oaks" meant anything to Council? Mr. Terwilliger indicated he had run across the name. Mr. Warner stated Hunt & Associates owns the 1.7 acres, Hunt & Associates has executed an lease agreement with the option to buy after January 1, 1991 for $200,000 on the 1.7 acres. At the same time that lease was filed, a Deed of Trust was issued for $200,000 held by Seven Oaks, a South Carolina development company. Mr. Warner stated he just wanted Council to know that there was another player in the game. Mr. Terwilliger advised he had a copy of the Deed of Trust, and it was recorded after the ground lease that was referred to earlier and would be subject to the ground lease terms. Mr. Warner inquired as to the "drop dead" date of June 27, 1990, on the zoning if a building permit was not issued, or an extension granted by Council. Mr. Terwilliger advised if an extension is requested, an extension can be granted by the Zoning Administrator, the request has to come in within the last 90 days of the period. The Town Manager then has 30 days in which to grant or deny the extension. Mr. Warner asked if the request required any action from Council. Mr. Terwilliger advised it was an administrative action under the Ordinance. Mr. Warner asked if the Zoning Ordinance was dead since the 27th has come and gone. Mr. Holycross advised the extension had been granted on several conditions, one that the building permits for the Wal-Mart and the balance of the center be submitted to the Town on or before September 1 1990; that construction on the Wal-Mart as well as the remainder of the center be undertaken concurrently; and that also the completion of the center, Wal-Mart, Revco, Food Lion and remainder of the center be done concurrently. Mr. Warner asked if it was Council's intention that a building permit be issued for a shopping center or piece mill? Mr. Holycross advised that it was not unusual for any type of major development to be done in phases. Mr. Holycross further advised that plans for the Food Lion portion of the center have been submitted, along with a commitment from the developer to submit plans for Wal-Mart and the remainder of the center by September 1, 1990. Mr. Warner asked, does Council have the authority to require the developer to post bond, either security or performance type, to insure the completion of the shopping center in complete compliance with the terms and conditions with the ordinance passed or approved by Council? Mayor Hancock stated that Council, as much as the concerned citizens, wants to see that the developer does everything that he's committed to do, to Council and the Town, that he does everything that he`s required by law to do, and we want nothing but a first class, top notch, shopping center. We rely on our Town Attorney and Town Administration to see that these things are being done and Council is consistantly being advised of the status of the situation. Mayor Hancock further stated he did not feel that Mr. Warner and the concerned July 3, 1990 8771 citizens were the only people who are concerned about this matter, Council is very concerned and are staying on top of the situation trying to make sure that the developer does everything he's supposed to do. At this time Councilman Don Crispin addressed Council stating, "It appears from what has just been presented to the Council from members of this audience, and frankly some members of Council including myself, aren't exactly clear as to what was agreed upon when the conditional zoning ordinance document regarding the lots on Memorial Drive and Peppers Ferry Road in Pulaski was presented and approved on June 27, 1989. Or how enforcable those agreements would be if tested in the courts, and since it appears that many unsolved questions remain regarding the ownership, financial security and background information on the developers, whoever they may be, and how all these organizations are interconnected in the deal and since the local economy appears to be on a collision course with disaster in the near future, I make a motion that we direct the Town Engineer to issue no building permits to any party for the construction of a shopping center on the site in question, namely the shopping center on the northwest corner of Memorial Drive and Peppers Ferry Road until all the questions presented here tonight have been satisfactorily addressed, and further move that any and all options available under paragraphs F, G & H of the aforementioned document be used to assure the Town and its citizens are fully protected. Mr. Terwilliger advised he believed as a general matter the Council would not have that authority unless Council can articulate some very particular reasons for doing so. The general authority of issuing building permits is vested in your administrative branch of government by your own codes that you passed, if you want to divest them of that authority, which is basically what you would be doing, you'd almost be caused to repeal your own existing ordinances. Mr. Terwilliger advised he had heard general questions/comments, but had not heard what proffers, if any, are supposedly to have been violated. Mr. Terwilliger further advised he had not heard any manner in which the ordinance of the conditional zoning has alleged to have been violated. Mr. Terwilliger stated it appeared the Town Manager is taking steps to take reasonable precautions to see the project going forward in a reasonable manner. Mayor Hancock stated that the Council had heard a number of questions, from Mr. Warner, questions in which Council has been provided with the bulk of the answers to. The Town Attorney has been asked to look into these questions, Town Attorney has met with Mr. Warner and Mr. Kirkland, these issues have been gone into, and it is the understanding that the Town Attorney feels that everything is proceeding appropriately and legally. Mr. Terwilliger stated this was correct. Mr. Warner stated they had met with Mr. Holycross and Mr. Terwilliger primarily on the tax issue, this other was aside to that and the material quoted, Seven Oaks, was not even available then. Mr. Warner did not feel these issues were not addressed at that meeting. Mayor Hancock again indicated that no questions raised indicates any violation of any agreement with the Town or any law. Mayor Hancock stated his concern about the motion is that the motion could be getting the Town into a situation that could expose the Town to liability. r' L 8772 July 3, 1990 Mr. Terwilliger advised that a second to the motion was needed for discussion purposes. Councilman Glenn seconded Councilman Crispin's motion. Mrs. Polly Mitchell expressed concern that if the developer had not purchased the 1.7 acres how much more will be reneged on? Councilman J. R. Schrader made a substitute motion to refer the questions/concerns brought forth to the Town Attorney and Town Manager to be reviewed and report back to Council within 2 weeks, seconded by Councilwoman Holston. Councilman Graham stated that he did not know of any issue that has come before Council that has been debated and discussed here before the people and discussed the legal aspects in Executive Session any more than this issue. Felt Council has discussed, talked about and are most serious about the issues and personally has been assured by the Town Attorney that everything that has been done is legal. Councilman Graham stated he had the upmost confidence in the Town Manager to see that everything is done to protect the Town. Councilman Graham stated he felt that for the betterment for our Town that we should proceed to let the shopping center proceed and this Council needs to get on to some other issues that are facing us that are most serious. Mr. Kirkland took exception to the statement that he had already received answers to the questions raised. The question arose in regard to Councilman J. R. Schrader's motion as to the issuance of a building permit within the two week period. Mr. Holycross advised that plans for Food Lion had been submitted and could conceivably be approved and a permit issued in the interim. Mr. Terwilliger expressed concern over giving specific legal opinions on certain issues and inquired of Council if they wanted thes legal opinions given in open session because once specific legal opinions are given on those particular issues you would be waiving executive privilege on it from that point forward. Councilwoman Holston so moved that Council go to into Executive Session on a legal matter under 2.1-344 A7 to request advice on items not publicly discussed in regard to the shopping center, seconded by Vice-Mayor Neighbors and carried on the following recorded vote: Donald Crispin - Nay Andrew L. Graham - Aye J. R. Schrader, Jr.- Aye W. H. Schrader - Aye Mary Lou Copenhaver- Aye Alma H. Holston - Aye James R. Neighbors - Aye Robert N.
