SUBJECT: PROPERTY: Purchase of Parcels AY17-032, AY17-033, AY17-034, AY17-035, AY17-054 and AY17-060 located along Hirsch Road between East Toliver Street and Plaag Street for the Hirsch Road Paving and Drainage Project (from Laura Koppe to Crosstimbers).
RECOMMENDATION: (Summary) Authority be given through Council Motion to PURCHASE Parcels AY17-032, AY17-033, AY17-034, AY17-035, AY17-054 and AY17-060.
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION:
The Hirsch Road Paving and Drainage Project (from Laura Koppe to Crosstimbers) is needed to replace segments of Hirsch Road that have deteriorated beyond economical repair and normal maintenance. The current project design calls for the construction of a two-lane, half boulevard, curb and gutter section as well as upgrades to storm water drainage and wastewater lines as needed. The City and its citizens will benefit from the improved traffic circulation, drainage, and safety in the service area. The City will acquire six parcels totaling 6,836 square feet in street right-of-way easements.
The City’s offer was based on an appraisal by Gary S. Brown, MAI, AI-GRS. The landowner presented an unsupported counteroffer requesting an additional $.50 PSF for each parcel. The counteroffer request was reviewed and accepted by Real Estate Services in order to avoid the additional litigation expense incurred by the City when acquiring property via condemnation and the resulting delay of the project. The breakdown of the accepted counteroffer is as follows:
