Action Requested: Approve Ordinance No. 941, I st Reading, Adopt an ordinance to dedicate a public utility easement for public use on city owned property at Bicentennial Park for the construction of a right turn deceleration lane along West Southlake Boulevard. Background Information: The City of Southlake is working with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to construct right turn deceleration lanes at several locations along FM1709 (Southlake Boulevard). In order to construct the deceleration lane with associated utility relocations and an 8' sidewalk, the city needs a variable width Public Utility Easement for Public Use, adjacent to the right -of -way, on Bicentennial Park property located at 300 West Southlake Boulevard. The easement is approximately 0.010 acre, as more particularly described and shown in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein. This item was presented to the Parks and Recreation Board on August 11, 2008. The Parks and Recreation Board recommends the City Council grant the easement. This is a somewhat unusual situation in that the City normally receives easements from private property owners to accommodate public improvements. In this case, the City will be obtaining /granting public easements from public property for public purposes. Financial Considerations: There are no costs to the City other than the normal filing fees to record the easement documents. Citizen Input/ Board Review: Parks and Recreation Board recommended approval on August 11, 2008. Legal Review: The ordinance has been reviewed by the City Attorney's office. Alternatives: The City Council may approve or deny the ordinance. Supporting Documents: Location Map Ordinance 941 Easement Documents Staff Recommendation: Approve Ordinance No. 941.
