The developer of the Rumpf Tract has requested the City acquire a drainage right-of-way  and utility easement, as well as the temporary construction easement from SCUCISD that they need to develop their property. Generally, staff of SCUCISD is supportive of entering into an agreement to sell the drainage right-of-way and utility easement to the City, based on the value determined by an appraisal. The City would enter into an agreement with the developer of the Rumpf property that would obligate the developer to reimburse the City for the cost of the right-of-way and easements, including having to post a surety at the time of execution of the agreement. The City would then enter into an agreement with SCUCISD, assuming the SCUCISD board approves it, for the purchase of the drainage right-of-way and easements based on the value set by an appraisal. The final agreement with SCUCISD will be developed in conjunction with SCUCISD consideration.

Additionally, the City is seeking dedication of the needed street right-of-way for the extension of Ray Corbett Drive to the southeast corner of the Rumpf Tract. Per the Development Agreement with the Rumpf owner that was executed in July of 2024, if the necessary ROW is dedicated by January 1, 2025, the developer of the Rumpf tract has to build that section of road.

There is no cost to the City with the acquisition, as the developer will bear the cost of the rights-of-way purchase and constructing the section of Ray Corbett Drive and any drainage and sewer improvements. The City will have the responsibility of maintaining the rights-of-way and improvements.

Provide for the necessary dedication of  drainage and utility easements to allow the development of the Rumpf Tract. To acquire the needed right-of-way for the future extension of Ray Corbett Drive, which if the ROW is dedicated prior to January 1, 2025, the developer of the Rumpf tract will be required to construct to the southeast corner of the Rumpf property per the Development Agreement that was approved in July of 2024.

Provides for the timely construction of public improvements in a cost-effective manner.

Staff is seeking approval from City Council to enter into an agreement with the developer of the Rumpf tract for the City to acquire a drainage and utility easement and a temporary construction easement from SCUCISD for which the developer will reimburse the City for the cost of acquisition. Staff is also seeking approval to seek dedication of the future right-of-way for Ray Corbett Drive from SCUCISD. There is no cost to the City with the acquisition, as the developer will bear the cost of the rights-of-way purchase and constructing the section of Ray Corbett Drive and any drainage and sewer improvements. The City will have the responsibility of maintaining the rights-of-way and improvements.
