Agenda Item Text:

Adopt Resolution FCD 11-02, authorizing the acquisition of lands for a Flood Control Project in the Willow Lakes area as described therein.

Background:

Willow Lakes Unit One is a subdivision created in 1971 and located north of Benson. The subdivision is located within the Pacheco Wash watershed and due to the lack of infrastructure, which today would have been addressed by the developer, this area is prone to flooding. Over the years the County has explored many options to minimize the effects of storm flows and for the approved annual work plan, it was determined to create a drainage ditch around the subdivision. This location is optimal due to the lack of existing right-of-way within the subdivision, as the right-of-way for streets is 60’ in width or less. Also this location is ideal due to the location of existing culverts under Ocotillo Road just east of the subdivision.

The project would affect four different properties, encompassing approximately 4.5 acres. The cost is approximately $30,000 for the land together with all associated appraisal and title fees. The proposed right-of-way acquisition area will include the ditch and culverts as well as a service road for construction and maintenance.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

Property owners will be notified of this Board approved acquisition project, title reports will be ordered, appraisals scheduled, and negotiations to acquire the right-of-way will be initiated.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

Approved 10/11 Annual Work Plan and 5 year work plan improvements for the Willow Lakes area cannot proceed.
