eminent domain or any eminent domain or condemnation proceeding is instituted (or notice of same is
given) prior to Closing, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing (the "Eminent Domain Notice")
which shall include a description in reasonable detail of the property to be taken. In such event then at
Buyer's sole option, Buyer may (i) elect to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of such
election to Seller and terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of such election to Seller and the
Title Company not later than the Closing Date, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to
Buyer, all obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate (other than those matters which expressly
survive the early termination of this Agreement),and this Agreement shall otherwise have no further force
and effect, or(ii) elect to proceed to Closing, in which event Buyer shall take the Property as it then is.
Buyer's failure to give timely notice to terminate this Agreement as provided above shall be deemed to be
an election to proceed to close the transaction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. As used
herein,a"taking"shall be deemed to include a voluntary conveyance in lieu of a taking by eminent domain.
15. Default and Remedies.
(a) Default by Seller. In the event the Closing of the purchase and sale transaction
provided for herein does not occur as herein provided by reason of any default of Seller, Buyer may, as
Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy, elect by notice to Seller within five (5) days following the scheduled
Closing Date,either of the following: (i)terminate this Agreement,in which event Buyer will receive from
the Title Company the Earnest Money, whereupon Seller and Buyer will have no further rights or
obligations under this Agreement (other than those matters which expressly survive the early termination
of this Agreement); or(ii)seek the remedy of specific performance of the Agreement, and in either event,
Buyer hereby waives all other remedies, including without limitation,any claim against Seller for damages
of any type or kind including,without limitation,consequential or punitive damages. Failure of Buyer to
make the foregoing election within the foregoing five(5)day period shall be deemed an election by Buyer
to terminate this Agreement and receive from the Title Company the Earnest Money,whereupon Seller and
9

Buyer will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement (other than those matters which
expressly survive the early termination of this Agreement).
(b) Default By Buyer. In the event the Closing and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated herein do not occur as provided herein by reason of any default of Buyer, Seller,
as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive or retain the
Earnest Money,such sum being agreed upon as liquidated damages for the failure of Buyer to perform this
Agreement and because of the difficulty, inconvenience and uncertainty of ascertaining Seller's damages.
No delay in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to Seller upon any breach by Buyer under this
Agreement will impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such breach theretofore or
thereafter occurring. The waiver by Seller of any condition or the breach of any term,covenant or condition
in this Agreement will not be deemed to be a waiver of any other condition or of any subsequent breach of
the same or any other term, covenant or condition in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing contained herein will limit Seller's remedies at law,in equity or as herein provided in the event of
a breach by Buyer of any of the matters which expressly survive closing after closing or those matters which
expressly survive the early termination of this agreement after termination.
(c) Consequential and Punitive Damages. Each of Seller and Buyer waive any right

under this Agreement. This Section 15(c)shall survive Closing or early termination of this Agreement.

SUBJECT
Authorize the Acquisition of Approximately 9.53 Acres of Vacant Land Located at 3255 and 3257 Schwartz Avenue in the Amount of$757,160.00
from Total E&P USA Real Estate, LLC,and Pay$12,000.00 in Estimated Closing Costs,Adopt Appropriation Ordinance and Dedicate the
Property as Lebow Park(COUNCIL DISTRICT 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1.Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the PARD Dedication Fees Fund in the
amount of$772,160.00 from available funds for the property acquisition;
2.Authorize the execution of an agreement for the acquisition of approximately 9.53 acres of vacant land located at 3255 and 3257 Schwartz
Avenue in the amount of$757,160.00 from Total E&P USA Real Estate, LLC;
3.Authorize the payment of the estimated closing costs in the amount of$12,000.00;
4.Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the appropriate closing documents and record the appropriate instruments;and
5.Dedicate the property as parkland to be known as Lebow Park,effective upon conveyance.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication(M&C)is to acquire land located in the northern sector of Park Planning District 4 in
accordance with the Neighborhood and Community Park Dedication Policy and the Park, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan,which calls
for the provision of adequate park and recreational areas in the form of Neighborhood Based Parks and Community Based Parks.
The Park&Recreation Department(PARD)conducted an assessment of potential property in the northern sector of Park Planning District 4 for
neighborhood parkland acquisition. The proposed acquisition is located in Neighborhood Park Unit 4.13-3 which is underserved by 15.70 acres
of neighborhood-based parkland. Upon completion of internal staff assessment of various parcels,the site located at 3255 and 3257 Schwartz
Avenue was found most suited for a neighborhood park.
The site is also adjacent to City-owned property identified for the Lebow Channel watershed improvements project located along the southern
boundary of the property and could provide minimally invasive channelization encroachment space should there be a need. Future development of
this site as a neighborhood park can support a trail connection to Trail Drivers Park to the south and extend to the Trinity River trail corridor.
An independent appraisal was conducted and the property owner has agreed to the negotiated purchase price of$757,160.00. The real estate
taxes will be pro-rated with the Seller being responsible for taxes due up to the closing date. The mineral estate will not be acquired. The deed will
contain a surface waiver for the exploration of the mineral estate. Staff has obtained an environmental study and survey of the property.
Staff recommends acquiring the approximately 9.53 acres of vacant land located at 3255 and 3257 Schwartz Avenue from Total E&P USA Real
Estate, LLC,to help meet an underserved need in this sector of the City.
In order to address safety concerns present in the proposed park area,there will be a one-time cost of$3,000.00 to be paid out of park dedication
funds for the removal of three drive approaches,installation of curb and gutter assembly,removal of debris,and site leveling and grading.
The park will be held in reserve status until development occurs. The annual cost to maintain this parkland in reserve status is estimated to be
$17,593.00. When the park is developed,additional funding will be requested for maintenance operations of the added facilities. Funding for
operations and maintenance will be allocated into the Park&Recreation Department's base budget beginning Fiscal Year 2021.
The property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations,funds will be available in the current capital budget,as
appropriated,of the PARD Dedication Fees Fund. Prior to expenditures being made,the participating department has the responsibility to
validate the availability of funds. The Director of Finance certfies that parkland maintenance costs will not result in any additional appropriations in
the Fiscal Year 2020 Budget.
