(Council District 5)
Body
BACKGROUND: The City’s consultant, Crawford, Murphy, and Tilly, Inc., has proceeded with the right-of-way acquisition of the needed parcels for the Pioneer Parkway Extension project. The consultant’s staff has appraised and completed negotiations for the needed right-of-way from parcel 14-06-451-019. The negotiations have resulted in an agreement for the purchase of 0.082 acres of land in the amount of $32,400.00. The property is owned by Radical Limited Partnership. Attached is a copy of the signed documents and a map of the overall view of the project. This property is located on the north side of W. Pioneer Parkway, along the frontage of 2211 W. Pioneer Parkway. Staff recommends payment for this land acquisition.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total of $32,000.00 will be paid to Radical Limited Partnership (Jeffrey J Green, Partner) from Project MPP121, Pioneer Parkway Extension Land Acquisition (Radnor to Allen), which is funded in an 80% reimbursement amount through a federal grant.
NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS: This road extension project will allow better access to this portion of the City and provide access to developable land. The development community in this area is very interested in the eventual construction of this project. The formal Public Hearing for the project was held in March, 2011.
IMPACT IF APPROVED: The City’s consultant will proceed with the land acquisition for this parcel, which is required in future to begin construction on the first section of the planned roadway extension.
IMPACT IF DENIED: The Council would need to provide further direction to Staff.
