Brymer0 City Manager Approval: VERIFY . authenticity with ApproveIt Item: Discussion and possible action on a resolution of the City of College Station, Texas, determining a public necessity to acquire a fee simple interest in certain property; giving notice of an official determination to acquire a portion of the property for the Barron Road right -of -way project; and establishing procedures for the acquisition of a fee simple interest in property. Item Summary: The attached resolution identifies a parcel of property needed for the Barron Road right -of -way project on the east side of Highway 6. Barron Road right of way acquisition was part of the 1998 general obligation bond issue. Item Background: Council approved a needs resolution on April 25, 2002 for twenty parcels of property along Barron Road on the west side of Highway 6 for the widening of Barron Road between Highway 6 and Wellborn Road (F.M. 2154). Barron Road is a minor arterial in southern College Station. Barron Road connects the frontage road of Highway 6 with FM 2154 (Wellborn Road). The City of College Station standard right -of -way width for a minor arterial is ninety (90) feet. The proposed right -of -way width is ninety (90) feet. The proposed parcel provides a section of right of way on the east side of HWY 6. This proposed right of way alignment is consistent with the Barron Road alignment approved as part of a small area plan presented to Council on April 25, 2002. Interest has been expressed to develop the tract containing the proposed right of way. Staff feels that the City should pursue the acquisition of this portion of the right of way before this development occurs. We can not require dedication of this thoroughfare because the plat of this property predated the alignment adopted httn•// oitvnpt/ Crnmri1 /07f171 1 /Barron Road Fast Needs Resolution /Cm 07/11/2002 Page 2 of 2 with the revised thoroughfare plan. Budgetary and Financial Summary: The budget for the Barron Road right -of- way project is $316,000.00 in 1998 General Obligation Bond Funds.
