Motion to apl)rove by Council Meoniber .l3oiven, secon by Co Member McGorray. Passed un March 17, 2015 Meeting Min 3 BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES COUNCIL ACTION A 1 Resolution No. 201.5 -025 Relating to Development; approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute the Agreement for Construction of Water Facilities for the Marana Center development project (formerly known as Marana Spectrum) (Frank Cassidy). Mr. Cassidy noted that this is the reservoir site up Twin Peaks Road. An 840K gallon reservoir is needed to build out the rest of the Marana Center project beyond the initial phase. This agreement facilitates how that is going to happen. We also need a little more capacity in the tank plus booster facilities to push the water to other potential town water service areas on Twin Peaks. Mr. Cassidy also indicated how the costs will be paid on an 84/16 split with the town paying the 16 percent. Since all of the booster capacity up the hill is for the town, the town pays 100 percent of that. Some of the other costs are split up appropriately. If the developer of the Marana Center sells another lot and needs the water service, Vintage Partners' development partners will do the work. The agreement also allows the town to step in if there's a great demand up the hill before the second development occurs at the Marana Center, but the reimbursement is a little more complicated. Council Member Ziegler asked about the funding. The total cost of the project is $1.7M, but the town's estimated cost is $525K; Vintage Partners is responsible for the remainder. However, Mr. Cassidy noted that Vintage Partners will be reimbursed through sales tax Ir om the Center. Motion to app7ro ve by Council Member 1 Ulc Cor ray, second by Council Member &d. Passed unanimousl A 2 Resolution No. 2015.026 Relating to Development; approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute the I.aeman Academy of Excellence Right-of-Way Abandonment Agreement (Frank Cassidy). Mr. Cassidy noted that the right -of -way that was just designated will basically be a no -man's land if no use happens or no road goes in. Staff felt that it made more sense for circulation purposes to trade the Mamie Kai right- of-way for the cost of a HAWK (High intensity Activated crosswalk) signal. There is a HAWK crossing that is going to be installed on Silverbell, and some portion of that is for the value of the school, but the school was hesitant to pay for the full cost since there is already a demand for crossing to get to the Park. So the value of the right -of -way will probably cover about half the cost of the HAWK, and that's about all this deal does. He also noted that some additional information needs to be inserted on the I.,eman Academy deed and their closing had not occurred when the Council materials were put together.
