Work Order 16-05 Central Avenue will widen Central Avenue from 32nd Street West to Shiloh Road. City staff has been negotiating with the adjacent owners for the necessary right-of-way.  The needed right-of-way was identified on the design project plans and must be acquired prior to construction.  The Eggebrecht Family Limited Partnership is a partnership that owns property south of Central Avenue, between S. 38th St. West and Shiloh Road. The partnership has agreed to dedicate the necessary right-of-way in exchange for the improvements being installed along their Central Avenue frontage.

City Council may:

• Approve the right-of-way agreement and warranty deeds with Eggebrecht Family Limited Partnership or;
• Disapprove the right-of-way agreement and warranty deeds.  If not approved, there will not be enough right-of-way to widen Central Avenue.

Eggebrecht Family Limited Partnership is dedicating the right-of-way and construction easement. In exchange for the right-of-way, the project will construct the Central Avenue improvements.  The cost estimate for the improvements is $197,742.06.  The estimated cost for the right-of-way to build the improvements is $245,352.08.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the right-of-way agreement and warranty deeds with the Eggebrecht Family Limited Partnership.
