THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO BAKER-MOR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (“Amendment”) is
made and entered into by and between the City of Arlington, a non-charter code city pursuant to RCW
Title 35A (“City”) and Baker-Mor, LLC, a Washington limited liability company (“Developer”). The City
and Baker-Mor are each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties” to this Amendment.
RECITALS
A. The City and Developer entered into the Baker-Mor Development Agreement
(“Development Agreement”) on October 4, 2018 regarding the property under the Snohomish County
Tax Parcel number 31052400300500, and legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto
(“Property”). The Development Agreement was recorded in Snohomish County under recording
number 201810160181.
B. Section 1.3 of the Development Agreement provides the Property will be developed
in accordance with the City’s Mixed-Use Development Regulations, Chapter 20.110 AMC, to include
retail and commercial establishments along the frontage of 172nd St NE and to include multifamily
residential to locate to the rear portion of the Property.
C. Section 1.4 of the Development Agreement states that as part of the proposed
development, the Developer has filed a Binding Site Plan application, filed under City File No
PLN#418 – BSP (“BSP”), which has subsequently been issued. The BSP has divided the Property into
5 parcels (A-E), with Parcels A-D developed for commercial/retail development and Parcel E
developed for multifamily senior apartments.
D. Subsequently, Parcels A-C were developed with commercial/retail development and
Parcel E was developed with multifamily senior apartments, but Parcel D has not yet been developed.
E. The parties desire to clarify and affirm through this Amendment that certain
commercial and/or retail uses, specifically including drive-through uses, vertical multifamily
residential uses, and the uses identified on Exhibit C may occur on Parcel D, as legally described on
Exhibit B; provided that any development, including drive-through uses, establishes continuity in

commercial/retail development, Parcel E being developed for multifamily senior
apartments, and dedicating .97 acres as public Right-of-Way (40th Ave NE). Parcels A-

C. Parcel D may also be developed for (i) retail and commercial uses, including drive-
through uses, (ii) vertical multifamily residential uses, and (iii) all Highway

40th Ave NE, a north-south connector street between 172nd St. NE and the future 173rd
St. NE, will be constructed as a public roadway by the Developer. The City has agreed
to allow Developer to dedicate the Right of Way and construct 40th Ave NE in lieu of
paying a cash monetary amount for traffic impact fees associated with the
development of parcels A-C, and parcel E. The total amount of allowed for
construction of the Right of Way and the roadway construction (the “Allowed

amount of fees identified in a traffic impact analysis exceeding the Allowed
Construction Amount will be paid in cash to the City. The Developer shall pay traffic
impact fees associated with the development of Parcel D pursuant to AMC Chapter
20.90.010-20.90.070.
4. Section 6.11 – Term. Section 6.11 of the Development Agreement entitled “Term”,
shall be replaced in its entirety as follows:
