Title
Request to Refer the Realignment of NE 12th Avenue to the Public Works Committee (B)
Explanation
Wal-Mart representatives, in conjunction with their planning for the construction of a new Wal-Mart retail facility, desire to have the City of Gainesville consider allowing the relocation of NE 12th Avenue between Waldo Road on the west and the Cedar Grove neighborhood on the east. Public Works Staff anticipates the Committee to provide a mechanism for more detailed review and discussion at the Committee level prior to proceeding to potential public hearings for right of way vacation.
Recommendation
The Public Works Committee recommend the City Commission to authorize the City Manager to schedule a Public Hearing for the vacation of right-of-way with such vacation being contingent upon the completion of the new NE 12th Avenue alignment and dedication of right-of-way at no cost to the City.
