EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2008, Council adopted Ordinance No. 030, 2008, authorizing the dedication of a portion of City property located at 2313 Kechter Road as Tilden Street. The property located west of the City property has been planned as the Kechter Crossing development. Tilden Street is located along the property boundary between the two properties. The developer of Kechter Crossing, Brinkman Construction, Inc., plans to begin construction of its development soon, including work within the new right-of-way of Tilden Street. This work will require the relocation of a number of site improvements in the right-of-way areas that are owned by the City. City staff has asked the Developer to relocate and replace a number of these site improvements elsewhere on the City property. The revocable permit will allow the developer access to the City property to perform the requested mitigation activities. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The City property located at 2313 Kechter Road was purchased in 2006 as part the of the City’s Land Bank Program. The City Real Estate Services Department manages this 16-acre property as a residential rental property and will continue to do so until the property is ready to be developed in the future. Tilden Street runs along the west boundary of the property where the existing driveway is located. Site improvements located within the new right-of-way include fencing, a small shed, and gates. City staff has met with the developer and the City’s current tenant at the property to evaluate the new right-of-way alignment and the affected site improvements. The developer has prepared a Mitigation Plan outlining the items that were identified that need to be relocated and replaced. The developer will also be required to install new driveway improvements to connect to the new road. As part of the terms of the revocable permit, the developer will be required to restore the City property after the work is completed, as well as, maintain access for the City’s tenant at all times. All work occurring on the property will be coordinated with City staff and the City’s tenant. FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS All mitigation activities on the City property will be done at the developer’s cost. No additional fees will be charged for the revocable permit given the work has been requested by the City for the benefit of the City and the City’s tenant. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution. ATTACHMENTS 1. Location Map 2.
