Agenda - Parks and Recreation Commission - 02/09/2017

Home

In order to have a constructive conversation(i.e. begin the negotiation process) on cost-share agreements for arterial infrastructure, it was recommended that the Bolton &Menk Study be updated. This will help the City better understand what financial obligation may accrue to the City. At this point, staff s preliminary estimate is that there may be a$700K-$1.6M City obligation(if split 50:50). The EDA has roughly funds available (EDA Fund, Loan Fund, and County HRA)that could support this level of obligation for the purpose of extending improvements through the new industrial park. Street Access to Alpine Drive A new access point on Alpine Drive is proposed with the concept. Throughout the first round of conceptual design review and City Council feedback, Staff has been directed to discuss options that keep a second access point to Alpine Drive for accessibility and traffic flow that balances concerns about traffic safety (sight lines and speeds). Another street access opportunity to be considered would be the realignment of Puma Street, east,to line-up with the existing Okapi Street to the north of Alpine. This could be physically facilitated as the City presently owns 4 acres at this location. This realignment may also yield an area of developable land to the west side of Puma street which could be factored into the suite of obligations and opportunities addressed and negotiated within the Development Agreement. Funding Source: This case is being handled as part of normal staff duties. Recommendation: Staff recommends adoption of the attached Policy Document. The concept has been reviewed by the Planning Commission(minutes attached), Park and Recreation Commission(minutes attached),the Environmental Policy Board (minutes attached), and the City Council(minutes attached). Action: Motion to recommend that the City Council adopt the Policy Document for Pearson Farm.
