generally depicted on Exhibit "A" annexed hereto (the "Golf
Course Tract "), and
WHEREAS, it is the intent of the City, with the assistance
of Franklin, to develop and construct a public fee golf course
and related improvements on said tract, and
WHEREAS, upon satisfaction of the terms and conditions set

Course Tract and the golf course to the City, and
WHEREAS, the City, Franklin and Killeen Savings Association
( "KSA ") previously entered into a letter of intent, dated August

WHEREAS, the City and Franklin now wish to enter into this

I.
In return for the considerations granted by the City to
Franklin in Article II herein, but subject to the conditions set
forth herein, Franklin agrees to the following:
A. To dedicate to the City the Golf Course Tract, the
land underlying any Rights -of -Way (as hereinafter
defined) and the rights of Franklin in the two existing
water wells located on the Golf Course Tract (including
easements, if necessary). The Rights -of -Way are the
tracts of real property underlying the proposed
roadways and related facilities and improvements shown
on Exhibit "A" annexed hereto as Doublecreek Parkway
and the Golf Course Entry Road, but only to the extent
said tracts lie within the approximate 582 acre
subdivision boundaries shown on Exhibit "B" annexed
hereto ( "Franklin Tract "). Where said proposed
roadways are located adjacent to property owned by
others, Franklin agrees to dedicate sixty (60) feet.
B. To extend, at Franklin's expense, a 12 inch water main
along Gattis School Road, then north on County Road 122
to the northwest corner of the Franklin Tract, along
the line reflected by points H to G to F to E on
Exhibit "C" annexed hereto. The City, at its expense,
shall be permitted to oversize said main in accordance
with the City's oversize policy, provided that the City
reimburse Franklin for the cost of said oversizing when
the main is accepted by the City.
C. To extend, at Franklin's expense, a 15 inch wastewater
main to the Franklin Tract, along the line reflected by
points D to J on Exhibit "C" annexed hereto. The City,
at its expense, shall be permitted to oversize said
wastewater main in accordance with the City's oversize
policy, provided that the City reimburse Franklin for
the cost of said oversizing when the wastewater main is
-2-
accepted by the City. It is the intent of the City and
Franklin that wastewater service to the golf course and
related facilities and amenities to be described in the
final plans and specifications ( "Final Plans ") which
are to be approved by Franklin in accordance with
Article V(B) hereof ( "Course and Facilities ") will be
supplied from existing mains located within Oak Bluff
Estates Phase II, and it is the intent of Franklin that
the initial development of the Franklin Tract will be
supplied from existing mains located within Oak Bluff
Estates Phase II. The City supports the wastewater
service concept set forth in the preceding sentence.
The construction of the wastewater main along the line
reflected by points D to J on Exhibit "C" annexed
hereto shall be completed prior to exhaustion of the
existing capacity from within Oak Bluff Estates Phase
II.
D. Franklin retains the option to construct, at its
expense, and at the time necessary for Franklin's
development of the Franklin Tract, an additional
section of the proposed Golf Course Entry Road from the
proposed Doublecreek Parkway to the proposed clubhouse
of the Course and Facilities.
II.
In return for the considerations granted by Franklin to the
City, the City agrees to the following:
A. To include in the City's Capital Improvement Program,
and to pay all costs of, all water system improvements
(other than those described in Article I, above as
being paid by Franklin) required to serve the Course
and Facilities, Golf Course Tract and the Franklin
Tract.
B. To construct, at the City's expense, at the time of
the construction of the Course and Facilities:
1. at Franklin's option, a 24 foot curb and gutter
roadway or a 28 foot open ditch roadway with
concrete ribbon edging from County Road 122 to the
point shown on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and
referred to as Doublecreek Parkway,
2. at Franklin' s option, a 24 foot curb and gutter
roadway or a 28 foot open ditch roadway with
concrete ribbon edging from said point on
Doublecreek Parkway to the proposed clubhouse for
-3-
the Course and Facilities and referred to on
Exhibit "A" annexed hereto as the Golf Course
Entry Road, and
3. no more than 3 grade - separated golf cart
crossing structures within said roadways, of which
no more than 1 will be under Doublecreek Parkway.
C. To include the remaining construction of Doublecreek
Parkway in the City's arterial roadway plan and its
capital improvement program for construction at such
time as bonds may be approved by the voters of the City
and traffic demands warrant such construction. To the
extent Franklin requires any of said roadways to serve
the Franklin Tract prior to City funding, Franklin may
construct any of said roadways to the standards that
previous sections thereof have been constructed.
Franklin will be reimbursed by the City for all
engineering and construction costs of any such optional
construction from roadway fees previously collected by
the City relative to the Franklin Tract and Golf Course
Tract. To the extent that construction costs exceed
such collected fees, the City will reimburse Franklin
for such costs from future fees collected relative to
the Franklin Tract and Golf Course Tract when and as
such fees are collected.
D. To confirm that all of the City's parkland dedication
and stormwater detention requirements for the Franklin
Tract (based on the densities indicated on Exhibit "B"
annexed hereto) have been satisfied by the design
evidenced by the Final Plans, and to allow a reflection
of the satisfaction of these requirements on the Final
Plans accepted by the City.
E. To provide 60 days prior written notice to Franklin (or
its designee) in each instance in which the City is
considering a change in either capital recovery fees or
building permit fees, and the City therein shall agree
that Franklin's remedy for the failure of the City to
give said 60 day notice shall be that Franklin (or its
designee) shall have an opportunity for a period of an
additional 30 days after its receives written notice
from the City within which to pay capital recovery fees
or building permit fees in the amounts in effect prior
to each such change even though said 30 day period may
be effective subsequent to a change in said fees.
F. To reimburse Franklin for all oversize water and
wastewater mains greater than 8 inches and oversize
lift stations and force mains built within the Franklin
Tract . The reimbursement amounts will be the amounts
-4-
established by the related City ordinance then in
effect.
G. To acquire, through negotiation or condemnation, a
portion of the Pfluger tract which is adjacent to the
Franklin Tract and consists of approximately 15.2 acres
( "Pfluger Tract "). In order to secure the funding of
certain costs related to an unsuccessful attempt to
acquire said tract, Franklin has issued, for the
benefit of the City, a letter of credit in the form of
Exhibit "D" attached hereto ( "Credit ").
Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Credit,
this Agreement or any of the documents executed
pursuant hereto or in connection herewith to the
contrary, in the event amounts are funded by Franklin
under the Credit and any such amounts funded thereunder
are unreasonable in amount or relate, in whole or in
part, to a lack of diligence on the part of the City in
the City's attempt to acquire the Pfluger Tract,
Franklin shall be entitled to reimbursement from the
City for the amount of (i) any such unreasonable
Reimbursable Expenses (as defined in the Credit) and
(ii) all expenses funded under the Credit which are
attributable to the City's lack of diligence in
attempting to acquire, through purchase or eminent
domain, the Pfluger Tract. The City and Franklin agree
that (i) any claim by Franklin for amounts described in
the preceding sentence shall not be limited or in any
manner diminished as a consequence of their previous
payment by the City or the funding of any such amounts
as Reimbursable Expenses under the Credit and (ii) the
preceding sentence shall not limit or in any manner
diminish the City's ability to draw upon the Credit in
accordance with the terms thereof.

of this acquisition, the City and Franklin acknowledge that First
Gibraltar is presently unable to proceed with their participation
as outlined in the Original Letter. However, the City and

FRANKLIN CAPITAL CORPORATION
By:
Name:
Title:
DATE: May 9, 1989
SUBJECT: Council Agenda, May 11, 1989
ITEM: 16J. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor
to enter into a contract with Franklin
Capital Corp. regarding donation of 170
acres for a golf course.
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Bob Bennett / Steve Sheets
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the mayor to sign a contract. This contract is subject
to a golf course being funded and constructed on this property.
ECONOMIC IMPACT:
If a golf course is not funded, the land will not be given to the
City. The agreement also stipulates that as part of the golf
course improvements a road will be constructed to the golf course
pro -shop. This cost will be part of the golf course finance
package. Due to the large acreage being gifted we are proposing
in the contract to waive parkland dedication requirements. Park
requirements would have resulted in dedicating 47 acres of the
582 acre tract. Flood mitigation ponding possibilities on the
course and the adjacent SCS Reservoir will used to meet regional
detention requirements. The developer will pay for all utilities
needed on the remaining ( +)( -) 412 acres. A major thoroughfare
running east /west will be funded from road impact fees paid by
the subdivision or by a future bond election. This provision is
in compliance with S.B. 336 which makes it illegal for developers
to be double charged for roads. The agreement is virtually
identical to the important points of a three party agreement
between Round Rock, Franklin and Killeen passed last fall that
terminated on December 31.
