Ocoee Crown Point PUD Letter of Intent — Taylor Morrison Homes. (Assistant City Manager Shadrix) At the December 17, 2013, City Commission meeting, staff' presented the City Commission with the City Manager's top three respondents: i) Taylor Morrison, ii) Frontdoor Communities, and iii) Meritage Homes for further interviews with staff. The Commission also added Elevation Development as an alternate if one of the respondents dropped out. The City Manager and his designees conducted interviews with the top respondents. After the interviews, Frontdoor Communities withdrew their name for consideration and a subsequent interview with Elevation Development took place. The City Commission directed staff to proceed forward with Taylor Morrison Homes as the number one selected proposal after seeing the presentation. Since that time, staff has met several times with representatives of Taylor Morrison Homes and several issues have become apparent. First, the housing market has slowed. Second, this lull in the housing market has apparently affected the type of product that Taylor Morrison forecasts as economically 211'aL,e Regular Commission Meeting April 1, 2014 feasible given their purchase offer ($9.9 million). Staff recommends the Honorable Mayor and City Commission end negotiations with Taylor Morrison Homes without prejudice and solicits letters of intent at such time as the market commands better prices and products. 8.
