15. First Reading of Ordinance No. 10, 2001, Authorizing the Acquisition by Eminent Domain
Proceedings ofCertain Lands forthe Street hWrovements to Fossil Creek Parkway. from College
Avenue to Mail Creek Lane.
The final development of the HuntingtonHills area requires the collector street connection ofFossil
Creek Parkway from College to Lemay Avenue. There is an existing portion of Fossil Creek
Parkway that was constructed with an old county subdivision. The development, in conjunction
withthe Street Oversizing Program, will improve this segment of Fossil Creek Parkwayby adding
sidewalks, bike lanes, curbing, and an asphalt overlay. Although there is sufficient existing right of
way, drainage and slope construction easements are required from the Fossil Creek Estates
Homeowners Association's common property. However, the Bylaws of the Association make it
extremely difficult to obtain the required easements, and the City and the Homeowners Association
have agreed to a "friendly" condemnation of the easements. Without eminent domain, all Fossil
Creek Meadows homeowners in the Association and all lending institutions holding deeds oftrust
would need to execute the conveyance document pursuant to the Bylaws of the Association. This
Council action will begin the uncontested eminent domain proceeding.
