WHEREAS, WCTID included a listing of properties considered at the time to be vacant
and undeveloped; and,
WHEREAS, the KK&G Properties (a/k/a Queen City Construction properties)
("Property") was included on the list of WCTID vacant and undeveloped properties; and
WHEREAS, the owner of the Property voluntarily executed a Contribution and
destrian Facility Agreement with the City of Rochester, dated August 18, 2003, and the
cument was subsequently recorded by the City on December 31, 2003; and,

the Property was a single parcel consisting of approximately 1.09 acres and included a
commercial building which contained an operating business; and,
WHEREAS, after review of the foregoing facts it has been determined that the Property

�QICTID cost allocation, cost, fee, charge or payment for the Property to be calculated pursuant
to the Contribution and Pedestrian Facility Agreement is $0.
• BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City will not involuntarily impose any of the
charges, fees, costs or costs allocations described in the TID program. Instead, any reference
to or mention of any charge, fee, cost or costs allocation occurs solely for the use by potential
developers and City staff in responding to proposed developments involving inadequate public
facilities that might be made adequate by way of voluntary development agreements.
