C.The City and Meetinghouse’s predecessor in interest as to the Raymond Parcel have previously entered into the following agreements which impose duties on the owner of the Raymond Parcel that are meant to facilitate the development of the adjacent City Parcel: a certain Development Agreement dated December 20, 2012 and recorded in the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds in Book 11173, Page 113, as superseded by a Development Agreement dated February 26, 2018 and recorded in the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds in Book 12888, Page 27, and as amended by an Amendment to Development Agreement dated February 18, 2020 and recorded in the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds in Book 13543, Page 230 (collectively, the “Development Agreement”).
