Take the following actions regarding the “Gas Point Road at Park Drive Corridor Improvement Project,” Contract No. 702984: (1) Approve and authorize the Chairman to sign an easement agreement with the Cottonwood Union School District for right-of-way (0.90 acres); and (2) accept one Easement Deed conveying the right-of-way parcel. |
| | | | | | | | SUMMARY
Right-of-way acquisition is proposed to improve Gas Point Road near Park Drive in Cottonwood. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
The County is preparing to improve Gas Point Road at Park Drive in Cottonwood. The existing pedestrian crossing will be upgraded to a full traffic signal. Left turn lanes will be added. Sidewalks will be constructed including a pedestrian bridge across Crowley Gulch.
Cottonwood Union Elementary School District (District) and Cottonwood Community Center (CCC) facilities currently take access within the project limits. Their access will be consolidated at the new signal. The District will grant road right-of-way in exchange for parking lot improvements. The District has also granted an access easement to CCC. On November 1, 2016, the Board adopted a resolution for a Mitigated Negative Declaration finding for the project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). |
| | | | | | | | ALTERNATIVES
The Board may decline to acquire the right-of-way. The right-of-way is necessary to construct the project. |
| | | | | | | | OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
County Counsel has approved the agreement as to form. Risk Management has reviewed and approved the agreement. The recommendation has been reviewed by the County Administrative Office. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCING
The total project is estimated to cost $1,500,000. Funding is proposed from Solid Waste, Traffic Impact Fees and Road Funds. Gas Point Road provides primary access to Anderson Solid Waste Landfill which pays impact fees. Cottonwood also has its own Traffic Impact Fee program. Adequate funds will be included in the Proposed FY 2018/19 Solid Waste and Roads budgets. There is no General Fund impact. |
