ACTION ITEM                   Date of Meeting    December 13, 2016 
DATE:    December 1, 2016 
TO:     Ted Fick, Chief Executive Officer 
FROM:   James Schone, Director, Aviation Business Development 
SUBJECT:  First Amendment to Lease with Fruit & Flower LLC, dba Floret 
Amount of this request:                $0 
Total estimated project cost:             $0 
ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Commission authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to execute an amendment to the
lease with Fruit & Flower LLC dba Floret ("Floret"), to add additional space and to modify the build-out
deadline and lease expiration dates. 
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
Delta recently completed the buildout of its passenger lounge on Concourses A/B in the Main Terminal
(see Exhibit A) which became billable premises under its Signatory Lease and Operating Agreement on
October 20, 2016. A portion of this leasehold abuts the space that has been leased to Floret. Delta no
longer needs a portion of this space and has agreed that this space could be removed from its lease and
made part of the Floret lease. Floret was selected as the Preferred Respondent in June 2016 for a casual
dining restaurant concept lease that was part of the Airport Dining and Retail (ADR) Lease Group 2.
Adding this space to the Floret lease will enable that firm to add additional seating, thereby increasing
much needed dining capacity. 
This amendment adds approximately 256 square feet (to be verified prior to executing the amendment)
to the leasehold premises (see Exhibit B). 
The inclusion of this additional space will require Floret to resubmit its design proposal for Port
approval. The deadline for the tenant to complete the agreed-upon improvements per the lease terms
will therefore need to be extended from July 31, 2017 to September 5, 2017. The lease term expiration
date will also need to be extended from August 31, 2027 to October 11, 2027. These dates may be
subject to minor adjustment.
JUSTIFICATION 
On August 11, 2015, the Port and Delta signed a tenant reimbursement agreement for the B2 Expansion
for Delta Club (C800690/U00200) for purposes of building a passenger lounge. The construction was
completed earlier this fall and the lounge opened on October 21, 2016. The space that is the subject of

this proposed lease amendment is adjacent the Concourse A entrance to the lounge. This space is not
needed for Delta's lounge, and thus can be incorporated into the adjacent ADR tenant's lease. 
On December 8, 2015, Commission authorized the Port's Chief Executive Office to conduct competitive
solicitations and execute lease and concession agreements with selected proposers for 10 new small
business-oriented opportunities in the ADR Program. This set of leasing opportunities was referred to as
ADR Lease Group 2 ("LG 2"). One of these opportunities was Single Unit #6, a 1,816 square foot unit at
the entrance to Concourse A. This location is immediately south of the entrance to the Delta Lounge. 
The proposed concept for this location was a casual dining restaurant. Bids were submitted for the 10
opportunities in LG 2 on February 22, 2016. Following evaluation of the proposals, Floret was chosen as
the Preferred Respondent for this leasing opportunity. The lease for this space was negotiated during
the summer of 2016 and was signed on October 4, 2016.
The Concourse A entrance to the Delta lounge abuts the northern end of the Floret leasehold. 
Approximately 256 square feet of this space is not built out for lounge purposes. Given the proximity of 
this space to the concourse and to a unit in the dining and retail program, the highest and best use of
this space is to incorporate it into the restaurant which would allow Floret to increase its seating
capacity. This additional seating is much needed given the rapid increase in passenger traffic during the
past 3 years at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. It is important to note that Delta will retain rights
to the Concourse A-facing exterior wall associated with this space. This wall is currently used by Delta for
promoting the entrance to its lounge.

ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS CONSIDERED 
Alternative 1  Do not incorporate this space into the Floret leasehold. 
Cost Implications: $0 
Pros: 
(1)   This would allow Delta to continue leasing this space. 
(2)   This would result in a guaranteed amount of rent to the Port each year, currently
$151.22 per square foot. 
Cons: 
(1)   This would not allow for the highest and best use of this space.

(2)   This would not allow for an increase in the seating capacity at Floret, thereby not
improving the amount of dining space available to the travelling public.
This is not the recommended alternative. 
Alternative 2  Approve this amendment 
Cost Implications: $0 
Pros: 
(1)   This would allow for the highest and best use of this space. 
(2)   This would improve customer service for the travelling public by increasing the
amount of seating available at Floret.
Cons: 
(1)   None 
This is the recommended alternative. 
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 
Currently, Delta pays the Port $151.22 per square foot per year for use of this space. This rate
for publicly accessible office space is set on an annual basis as part of the Signatory Lease and
Operating Agreement between the Port  and airlines that operate at Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport. Removing this space from Delta's lease will reduce its rent payments to
the Port by approximately $42,190 annually. However, Port staff estimate that Floret will be
able to increase its sales due to the increased seating capacity. Floret will pay the Port an 8%
concession fee on its gross sales. As such, Port staff expects to recover some, if not all, of the
lost lease revenue as a result of Floret's increased sales.
