Explanation
Background: This consent legislation authorizes the City to execute a cooperation agreement with Dominion Homes for the improvement of the Britton/Cosgray connecting road and Avery Road. The work is designated as elements HR-2 and HR-9 in the Memorandum of Understanding that was authorized by Ordinance 1433-2004 passed by City Council on November 22, 2004. The project will connect Hayden Run Road with Avery Road to the east and widen Avery Road. The connector will be five lanes wide and have a curbed grass/concrete median. The streetscape will also feature curbs, gutters, sidewalks, lighting, signalization and an enclosed storm drainage system where possible. A structure at least 100 feet in length will be constructed over the existing Conrail tracks in the path of the connecting road. The work is a component of the Hayden Run corridor development.
This project's design costs will be funded by the Hayden Run corridor developers that are represented by Dominion Homes. The City will provide administration and review services for the design. Per the Memorandum of Understanding, Dominion Homes and other developers will make payments to an account established by the City from which project costs will be paid. The Memorandum of Understanding details the responsibilities of each party.
Fiscal Impact: Funding will be provided from an account established by the City for the purpose of reimbursing developers for expenditures incurred in connection with the project. This ordinance provides consent only. No financial participation is required from the City at this time.
Emergency action is requested to keep this project on schedule and within budget.
