Title
Sidewalk Easement (B)
Explanation
The CRA is in the process of redeveloping a vacant parcel at 802 NW 5th Ave to provide a mixed-use commercial/office building. At the previous CRA meeting, the board received an update on the project's design development and learned that the site plan has been approved, with conditions, by the City of Gainesville Development Review Board (DRB). The provision of sidewalks is required for this development. Due to the extremely small size of the site, easements (given to the City) are necessary because portions of these sidewalks will sit within the property boundary of project site (as opposed to public right-of-way). Execution of sidewalk easements is one of the conditions associated with DRB approval of the project's site plan.
Documentation of the proposed easement is included in the agenda backup. The easement contains approximately 443 sq. feet and will allow for the provision of required sidewalks along both NW 5th Avenue and NW 8th Street, directly adjacent to the CRA mixed-use redevelopment project.
Redevelopment at 802 NW 5th Avenue is CRA Project # CFED-17-DV-2009.
Fiscal Note
None at this time.
Recommendation
CRA Executive Director to the CRA Board: Approve granting of sidewalk easement to the City of Gainesville and authorize the CRA Chair to execute, the CRA Secretary to attest the easement documents subject to approval by the CRA Attorney as to form and legality.
