SUBJECT: Approval of Two Separate Purchase and Sales Agreements and Memorandum of
Understanding Relative to Ocean Breeze
SUMMARY: At the October 9, 2007 Board Meeting, American Realty was selected to be the
developer of the Ocean Breeze Project in the Heart of Boynton District. For the past several months,
CRA staff and legal have worked to craft purchase agreements for this project. Some of the challenges
have been that the land is not contiguous. The properties are physically across the street from one
another. In addition, one side ofthe street is a "for rental" product and the other side is a "for sale"
product, requiring different financing mechanisms and deadlines. These finalized agreements represent
the CRA and American Realty's partnership in applying for the Community Workforce Housing
Initiative Program (CWHIP) deadline of January 29, 2008.
Securing this funding will advance and expedite future development of the project. The Memorandum
of Understanding identifies and outlines the terms of the relationship and agreements between the CRA
and American Realty.
FISCAL IMPACT: nla
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Staff recommends the approval of the Apartment Purchase Agreement and the corresponding
Resolution
2. Staff recommends the approval of the Townhouse Purchase Agreement and corresponding
Resolution
3. Staff recommends the approval of the Memorandum of Understanding
