Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
A number of encroachments into the public rights-of-way were requested by the Wagbros Company during the plan development phase of the East Village, Phase I, Project. This project is located at 1368-1400 Grandview Avenue. It is proposing a new four story mixed use building. The building will have retail and restaurants on the first floor and residential units on the next three floors. The existing building was destroyed in a fire earlier this year. The encroachments include a three foot foundation encroachment, a four foot Aerial easement for cornice, solarium and balconies into the right-of-way of Grandview Avenue and a one foot wide building encroachment into the first alley east of and parallel to Grandview Avenue. The development is planned to start construction this fall. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute any documents necessary to grant encroachment easements for the proposed encroachments into the public rights-of-way. Installation of the proposed building will retain the appearance and continuity of the neighborhood. A value of $1,500.00 was established for these three encroachment easements.
The City will receive a total of $1,500.00, to be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, for granting the requested encroachment easements.

To authorize the Director of the Department of Public Service to execute those documents necessary for the City to grant encroachment easements for the proposed building foundations, building facades, solariums and balconies, and cornice within those public rights-of-way needed for the East Village, Phase I, Project and to declare an emergency.
