S 352nd Street Extension Project from Enchanted Parkway South to Pacific Highway South – 100% Design Status Report and ILA with Lakehaven for Design Streets Systems Project Engineer John Mulkey presented information on this item. There was no public comment. Mr. Mulkey stated that four of the five property owners have made verbal commitments to dedicate land; written agreements will follow. Committee Member Dovey was concerned that one property owner has still yet to agree to dedicate land to the City. Should the City even go forward with the project unless there is unanimous support from the affected property owners? Mr. Mulkey shared the property owner’s concerns with the proposed project. The four remaining property owners find the proposed project worthwhile and wish to dedicate the needed portions of their land to the City regardless if the City has to pay for the 5th parcel. Chair Duclos stated that if four businesses are supportive of the project and are looking forward toward the benefit the project will have on the entire area, that that may supersede one property owner who is not as cooperative. Director Roe contributed the benefits the project would bring to the City and surrounding community. Chair Duclos wanted confirmation that the $3Million to be transferred from the SR 99 Phase IV project would not be needed elsewhere. Deputy Director Salloum stated that the City Manager 7/06/2010 Consent Land Use/Transportation Committee Page 2 June 21, 2010 G:\LUTC\LUTC Agendas and Summaries 2010\6-21-10 Minutes.doc previously directed $2.7 of the funds left from the low bidding of SR 99 to be kept to be used at CM discretion, while $3Million is available to transfer to another capital project. Mayor Kochmar stated she is in favor of this project moving forward. Committee Member Dovey said he was unsure of the project without 100% property owner approval. Director Roe stated that the Committee approving this recommendation does not bind the City’s commitment to this project. Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented.
