FROM:Michael Kerski, Planning/Development Director
TO:Mayor and Council Members
Subject:
Contract with WSB for design of the Valleycrest Trail
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve contract with WSB for $35,838 for design of the Valleycrest Trail project. 
Recommendation:
Approve contract.
Discussion:

This segment of trail will connect with the new subdivision developed by MI Homes.  The easements are already in place, but the trail has not been built since it did not connect to anywhere.  This trail will now become a major connection point for the neighborhoods to the west to CH83 and also connects existing and the new neighborhood and future developments to parks and open space.

 

Bill Delaney, Senior Planner and our Landscape Architect, will be reaching out to the property owners that the easement is recorded on.  The majority are the original owners and they were part of the negotiations on the easement when their subdivision was constructed. 

 

Once plans are completed, the project will be bid out for construction.
