Adopt Resolutions of Necessity for multiple parcels authorizing condemnation for transportation improvements to County Road 557, Project No. 5400135.  (No fiscal impact)

body

DESCRIPTION

The Polk County Board of County Commissioners has identified the necessity of a project to construct improvements to County Road 557 from north of US Highway 17/92 in Lake Alfred to south of the I-4 interchange known as the County Road 557 Road Improvement Project and has authorized the Real Estate Services Administrator to undertake right-of-way acquisition as necessary for that improvement project.  Parcels needed to complete the project were identified and surveyed for acquisition purposes.  The properties, designated by the parcel numbers listed below, which are more fully described in the attached proposed Resolutions of Necessity, are necessary for the construction of the proposed roadway improvements.  This road project, which includes travel lanes, sidewalks, shared use path and associated drainage, will result in improved safety and traffic movement in Polk County.  In considering adoption of the Resolution of Necessity five factors must be considered by the Board of County Commissioners as the condemning authority:

A. ALTERNATIVE ROUTES: The Board of County Commissioners considered various alignments, the costs thereof, and projected improvements to the levels of service before approving an alignment for the County Road 557 Road Improvement Project which provides a “best fit” alignment for the proposed roadway. 

 

B. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS: Necessary permits are being reviewed or have been approved by permitting agencies.  The project has been designed to minimize adverse impacts to the environment and it is anticipated that no adverse environmental impacts will result from this project.

 

C. COSTS: The project is cost effective within the required designed criteria.

 

D. LONG RANGE PLANNING: This project is consistent with the long-range plan for Polk County and is part of the Capital Improvement Programs previously adopted by the BoCC, and it complements prior improvements made by Polk County;

 

E. Safety Considerations: One purpose of this project is to improve the traffic safety by adding travel lanes, drainage, curbs, gutters, and shared use path to the existing corridor. The identified parcels are necessary to provide sufficient right of way to construct the recommended improvements; and

 

The parcels identified for acquisition at this time are identified in the attached backup and include the following:
