DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Bay Laurel Center Community Development District (BLCCDD) owns a portion of SW 63rd Street Road by virtue of a Quit Claim Deed executed on July 11, 2006. Marion County has plans to improve the intersection of SW 63rd Street Road at SW 80th Avenue as part of the County’s SW 80th Avenue Segment 1 widening project. This agreement provides for a temporary construction easement on SW 63rd Street Road to construct the intersection improvements, to include installation of an additional eastbound lane from SW 63rd Street Road onto SW 80th Avenue.
Also, for the SW 63rd Street Road portion, BLCCDD had previously granted the Circle Square Ranch Master Association (CSRMA) permission to maintain and repair improvements including landscaping and irrigation in the SW 63rd Street Road area. CSRMA formally adopted a resolution on May 27, 2008, which confirmed these responsibilities. Any impacts to the landscaping or irrigation in this area by the County’s roadway widening will be handled through a separate agreement between CSRMA and Marion County.
BLCCDD identified several conflicts between existing utilities owned or maintained by BLCCDD and the County’s proposed stormwater pipes or structures during the utility plan reviews. Marion County desires to work with BLCCDD to resolve these conflicts during construction. This agreement requires the County’s contractor to notify and coordinate with BLCCDD at least 72 hours prior to performing work in the conflict areas. Should any of the utilities owned or maintained by BLCCDD need to be adjusted to avoid conflict with the County’s proposed stormwater pipes or structures, the County will pay 50% of the costs of the adjustments. BLCCDD will pay the remaining 50% of the costs and be responsible for contracting this work.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Neutral. This is included in the 2025/2026 Transportation Improvement Plan as project numbers TIP073815 and STC073815.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
Motion to approve the attached Agreement and authorize the Chairman and Clerk to execute the same.
