Project Summary: Alton Ogden and adjacent owners desire to develop approximately 20 acres ofland adjacent to South 14th Street between West "D" and West "G" Streets (Sector 23 Area). He has recently acquired several properties in the area in order to aggregate land for development. Additionally, several adjacent property owners have joined Mr. Ogden in filing an application to close the existing rights-of-way required to facilitate the development. On April 28th of2008, Staff requested direction from Council on Mr. Ogden's request to apply the funds from the right-of-way closings toward the cost of constructing South 14th Street which is integral to the development. At that time, Council advised Staff that it was agreeable to Mr. Ogden's request to partner in constructing South 14th Street using the abandonment proceeds. Currently, Mr. Ogden's Street/Alley Closing application is administratively complete. A subsequent appraisal of the rights-of-way to be closed has established fair market value at $1.75 per square foot. The application calls for closing 180,120 square feet of right-of valued at $315,210. By ordinance, the value of the subject rights-of-way will be discounted 25% resulting in total closing fees of $236,407.50. The total cost estimate for construction of Mr. Ogden's project is $612,240 and is detailed below: . Paving: $174,240 · Drainage: $215,000 · Sanitary Sewer Extension: $10,000 · Water Extension $117,000 . Engineering (% will apply to each party) $55,000 · Surveying (% will apply to each party) $30,000 . Landscaping $11,000 (Refer to Cost Breakdown Summary for further information) Upon applying all funds from the proposed street & alley closings, the project will require additional funding of $375,832.050 to be constructed. On August 23,2010 the Board approved an amendment to the budget adding $175,000 for expenditure on this project, if it is approved.
