RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution. FINANCIAL IMPACT The City will pay Colorado State University$12,525 for the property conveyed. This is the market rate according to City-ordered appraisals. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In April, the City began work on the East Prospect Road Improvement Project, which involves widening a portion of Prospect Road adjacent to the Colorado State University(CSU) property at the Environmental Learning Center(ELC). CSU has agreed to convey to the City a strip of property adjacent to Prospect Road approximately 64 feet wide and 726 feet long to be used as right-of-way for Prospect Road. The City will pay CSU fair market value of$12,525 for the property. However,because this project will eliminate access to an existing parking lot on CSU's property, as a condition of conveying the property, CSU is also requiring the City to perform additional work as part of the Improvement Project to ensure the impact on CSU's property is mitigated. These work items, outlined in a proposed "Agreement to Convey Right of Way", include the following: • The City shall construct public access, a parking area, trail access to the ELC and related improvements on City property adjacent to the ELC. • The City will remove the Environmental Learning Center sign, fencing, and the gate currently located at the parking lot on the ELC property and deliver them to another CSU location. May 2, 2006 -2- Item No. 17 • The City will remove the poles/railroad ties that line the current parking lot at the ELC, and will remove some large mounds of dirt currently on the ELC property and the gravel in the existing parking lot, and will restore the parking lot area to a more natural condition. The City will be able to use the dirt and gravel removed from CSU's property for the Improvement Project. • The City will conduct some wetland mitigation on the ELC property. These work items have been made a part of the scope of work to be performed by the City's contractor on the Improvement Project. The Agreement to Convey Right-of-Way is attached as an exhibit to the Resolution.
