Title
Communication from the City Manager and Director of Public Works Requesting Approval of a Payment of $68,000.00 to CATHOLIC CEMETERY ASSOCIATION OF PEORIA for RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION of a Portion of Parcel 14-07-100-025 for the Construction of the PIONEER PARKWAY EXTENSION PROJECT. [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 14-07-100-025. The negotiations have resulted in an agreement in the amount of $68,000.00 for the purchase of 0.999 acres. The property is owned by the Catholic Cemetery Association of Peoria. Attached is a copy of the documents signed by the Most Reverend Daniel R. Jenky, as President of the Association. This property is located along the southwest corner of the intersection of Pioneer Parkway and Allen Road. Staff recommends payment for this land acquisition.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total of $68,000.00 will be paid to the Catholic Cemetery Association of Peoria 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 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.
