| Information |
| SUBJECT: |
| Resolution No. (R)16-35, authorizing and approving acquisition agreements for slope, drainage and utility easements for the Lambert Lane Phase II project between Rancho Sonora Drive and La Cañada Drive |
| RECOMMENDATION: |
| Staff recommends approval. |
| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: |
The Lambert Lane Phase II project consists of widening the roadway from two to four lanes from west of Rancho Sonora Drive to just east of the La Cañada intersection. The primary objective of this project is to lower the roadway profile west of the La Cañada intersection to correct the substandard sight distance due to the existing vertical curvature of the street.
Roadway improvements include, but are not limited to, additional travel lanes, drainage facilities, curb addition, raised median, bike lanes, retaining walls, sidewalk, traffic signal, multi-use path, and installation of 8-inch and 12-inch water mains for the Water Utility Department. There are eight areas outside the right-of-way that are needed to tie-in the new roadway improvements. These areas are privately owned and identified as slope, drainage and utility easements. |
| BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION: |
The proposed roadway improvements will require additional easements to accommodate and preserve slope and drainage improvements. Tierra Right of Way was hired to appraise the market value of the easements and to offer just compensation to the property owners.
The Town is seeking to acquire the following easements for the Lambert Lane Project Phase II:

Town and Tierra Right of Way staff worked with the adjacent property owners in acquiring the proposed easements. All but two owners have accepted and signed off on the acquisition agreements (see Exhibit A). We expect to have the last two owners, Carroll and Walgreens, sign off the acquisition agreements by early August 2016 and ask Town Council to delegate the execution of the remaining acquisition agreements to the Director of Community Development and Public Works on behalf of the Town of Oro Valley. The easements will be paid from the Lambert Lane Project which has appropriated funds for right-of-way acquisitions.
|
| FISCAL IMPACT: |
| There is no fiscal impact to the town. All easements will be paid from Lambert Lane Phase II project funds. |
| SUGGESTED MOTION: |
| I MOVE to (approve or deny) Resolution No. (R)16-35, authorizing and approving Acquisition Agreements for slope, drainage and utility easements for the Lambert Lane Phase II project between Rancho Sonora Drive and La Cañada Drive. |
