Title
Declaring the necessity and intention of appropriating, in fee, a portion of the property owned by Zubha Props, located at 1615 Cherry Street for a safety project; and declaring an emergency.
Summary
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The city is proceeding with a safety project at the intersection of Cherry Street and Bancroft Street, which will include a complete realignment of Canton Street at Cherry Street, as well as the addition of a median, signal improvements, resurfacing, and utility improvements, which will better meet the current needs of the public. The project will require the purchase of property totaling 0.012 acres, more or less, across a portion of the property located at 1615 Cherry Street. Negotiations with Zubha Props have been unsuccessful to date and it is now necessary to begin appropriation proceedings to protect the city’s interest in the rights-of-way to be acquired and keep the project on schedule.
NOW THEREFORE, Be it resolved that:
SECTION 1: That this City Council declares its intention to appropriate, in fee, a portion of the property owned by Zubha Props located at 1615 Cherry Street (Parcel #0355066), respectively, as collectively more fully described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. That negotiations for the acquisition of the described property interests have been unsuccessful to date and that the acquisition of the property interests described in Section 1 is necessary for the Safety Project at Cherry Street and Bancroft Street.
SECTION 3. That it is ordered and directed that, once adopted, the Clerk of Council shall serve this Resolution as required by law, via certified mail, upon the representative(s) of the owner of the described real estate.
SECTION 4. That this Resolution is hereby declared to be an emergency measure and shall be in force and effect from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that the same is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property, and for the further reason that the acquisition of the property interests from Zubha Props is necessary for the timely construction of the safety project at the intersection of Cherry and Bancroft.
