REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 6/23/97 ITEM NO.: F-l Department Approval: Manager Reviewed: Agenda Section: ~. ~~ Reports and Recommendations Item Description: Approve assessment agreement, City Project P-97-03 McCarrons Boulevard reconstruction project Background: The home at 300 S. McCarrons Boulevard is owned by David and Lisa Booms. The home is situated on the south side of S. McCarrons Boulevard between Western Avenue and Galtier Street as shown on Exhibit A. The garage which serves the residence is currently located . very close to the property line. The garage is at approximately the same elevation as the existing roadway, and the home is located 25 feet above the roadway atop a steep slope. As part of the reconstruction ofS. McCarrons Boulevard, it is necessary to raise the level of the roadway approximately 3 feet to improve the driveway slopes for the properties adjacent to the Booms residence. In addition, the south edge of the roadway will be shifted approximately 8 feet to the south to accommodate the pathway. This is shown on Exhibit B. As a result of the proposed construction, the Booms will be left with a driveway approximately 17 feet long and a garage approximately 3 feet lower than the street. After discussing this issue with the Booms, they decided that this would be an appropriate time to investigate having the existing garage removed and constructing a new garage further from the roadway. After researching the cost of such an undertaking and available financing, the Booms decided that reconstructing the garage was cost prohibitive. Because the road reconstruction project will be better accommodated if the Booms' garage is reconstructed at a location further ftom the property line, staff feels that it is appropriate to assist the Booms effort to reconstruct their garage. To that end, staff recommends that the City finance the garage reconstruction and assess the cost to the Booms as part of the McCarrons Boulevard project. The City Attorney has drafted an assessment agreement between the City and the Booms, a copy of which is attached. The highlights of the agreement are as follows: . The City's contractor will remove the existing garage and excavate as necessary to accommodate construction of a new garage. As part of this work, the City's contractor will also remove vegetation and relocate the existing sewer and water services as necessary.
