BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHICAGO:
SECTION 1. The foregoing recitals, findings and statements of fact are hereby adopted as the findings of the City Council.
SECTION 2. The sale of the Property (or any parcel comprising a portion of the Property) to Grantee for the Purchase Price (or a prorated portion of the Purchase Price if the parcels comprising the Property are sold separately) is hereby approved, subject to Grantee's satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent to closing (unless waived by the Department in its sole discretion):
Grantee must submit to the Department, and the Department must approve, the final construction plans and specifications for the Project (or either of the two homes comprising the Project if construction is phased); and
Grantee must obtain all building permits and other required permits and approvals necessary to construct the Project (or either of the two homes comprising the Project if construction is phased) and submit evidence thereof to the Department.
If Grantee fails to close on the acquisition of the Property (both parcels) within three (3) years of the date of passage and approval of this ordinance, then this ordinance will be rendered null and void and of no further effect as to such Property (or as to any parcel that has not yet been transferred), unless the Commissioner, in the Commissioner's sole discretion, extends the closing date.

In addition, the deed shall include the following conditions and covenants, in substantially the form set forth below, which are a part of the consideration for the Property and which shall run with the land and be binding upon and enforceable against Grantee and Grantee's successors and assigns:
Covenant to Build Single-Family Home. Grantee shall construct a two-story, single-family home of all brick (including limestone accents and a metal cornice) with a basement and detached two-car garage on the Property ("Home") in accordance with the site plan and elevations previously approved by the Department of Planning and Development ("Department") within eighteen (18) months of the date of this Deed. No material deviation from the previously approved site plan and elevations is permitted without written approval from the Department. If this condition is not met, the City may record a notice of default against the Property and shall have the right to exercise any and all remedies available to it at law or in equity. Upon completion of the Home, Grantee shall submit a written request to the Department for a certificate of completion. If the Department determines that Grantee has completed the Home in accordance with this covenant, the Department shall provide Grantee with the certificate of completion. The certificate shall be in recordable form and shall, upon recording, constitute a conclusive determination of satisfaction and termination of the covenant in this section.
Environmental Screening. The City, acting through its Bureau of Environmental, Health and Safety Management in the Department of Assets, Information and Services ("Department"), has conducted a review ("Limited Screening") of certain internal files and certain other publicly available records ("Review Documents") in an effort to identify potential environmental concerns associated with the Property ("Environmental Findings"). Grantee acknowledges that Grantee has previously received a memo summarizing the Department's Limited Screening, and that the City has made all Review Documents available to Grantee for inspection and copying upon request.
Limited Nature of City's Records Review. Grantee acknowledges that the City did not perform a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment or conduct a thorough environmental investigation of the Property, and that the City's review of internal records and other information was limited. Grantee acknowledges that the Department's Limited Screening may not have located all internal or publicly available documents relating to the condition of the Property, and that there may be
, other sources or types of contamination affecting the Property. Grantee acknowledges
|1010|
that the City is not obligated to locate all such documentation or perform a thorough environmental investigation.
Historic Contamination of Urban Land. Grantee acknowledges that soil and groundwater in urban areas, including Chicago, are frequently impacted by historic environmental contamination, such as (a) buried demolition debris containing lead-based paint or asbestos, (b) underground heating oil tanks, (c) off-site migration of chemicals from surrounding property previously or currently used for gas stations, dry cleaners, or other commercial, industrial or manufacturing land uses, (d) unauthorized "fly" dumping, (e) nearby railroad operations, and (f) airborne deposit of lead and other contaminants from historic use of lead gasoline and polluting industrial or manufacturing uses.
As Is," "Where Is" and "With All Faults" Conveyance. Grantee acknowledges that Grantee has had an opportunity to inspect the Property, and is relying solely upon Grantee's own inspection and other due diligence activities in determining whether to acquire the Property, and not upon any information provided by or on behalf of the City with respect thereto, including without limitation, the Review Documents and any summary thereof. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Property is being conveyed, and Grantee accepts the Property, in its "AS IS," "WHERE IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS" condition without any covenant, representation, or warranty, express or implied, of any kind, regarding the physical or environmental condition of the Property or the suitability of the Property for any purpose whatsoever. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that Grantee is solely responsible for any investigation and remediation work necessary to put the Property in a condition which is suitable for its intended use.
Release of City. Grantee, on behalf of Grantee and Grantee's heirs, successors and assigns, and anyone claiming by, through or under any of them, hereby releases, relinquishes and forever discharges Grantor and its officers, employees, agencies, departments and officials, from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and court costs) based upon, arising out of or in any way connected with, directly or indirectly, the environmental or physical condition of the Property.
47th/King Drive Redevelopment Project Area. The Property is located in the 47th/King Drive Redevelopment Project Area ("Area") established pursuant to ordinances adopted by the City Council on March 27, 2002. Grantee is obligated to use the Property only for uses permitted under the redevelopment plan for the Area, until such redevelopment plan expires. Grantee's acceptance of this Deed shall be deemed to be Grantee's agreement to comply with such use restrictions.
SECTION 5. If any provision of this ordinance shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect any of the other provisions of this ordinance.
|1010|
SECTION 6. All ordinances, resolutions, motions or orders in conflict with this ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of such conflict.
SECTION 7. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect immediately upon its passage and approval.
