body
SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND:
The City has a wastewater pump station near the proposed acquisition (Site) that is scheduled to be abandoned and replaced with a gravity pipeline per the City’s Capital Improvement Plan. Acquisition of the Site will allow the construction of a much shallower alignment than alternate routes and provide significant construction savings.
FACTS AND FINDINGS:
This Site will provide open space in an area that primarily consists of multi-family housing. If acquired, the Site may provide additional benefits such as: an opportunity for storm water quality retrofit and master planning, access to Claggett Creek for stream bank maintenance and enhancement, provide an area for tree preservation and additional planting, and an opportunity for riparian habitat preservation.
The Site may also provide the potential for linking to an unimproved City park across Fisher Road and will allow the City to control, enhance, preserve, and expand wetlands.
The key terms of the proposed Agreement are as follows.
• Site size: TBD (estimated at 8.15 acres)
• Purchase Price: $0.00
• Closing Date: April 30, 2017
• City to complete survey and partition of Site at its sole cost
• State to complete a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment at its sole cost
