TO: The Honorable City Council A. r
infir/. ./ i_
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
DATE: September 23, 1996 (Council Meeting 10-2-96)
SUBJECT: Consider Authorizing the Preparation of a Design for
Street Improvements on Unidos Avenue
BACKGROUND
On September 4, 1996, the City Council determined that the design
for Unidos Avenue immediately east of Liberty Bell Road shall be as
follows:
• Standard: Plate B5-C (modified) ;
• Street width: thirty-two feet (32' ) curb-to-curb;
• Right-of-way width: forty-eight feet (48' ) ;
• Sidewalk width: five feet (5' ) ;
• Parkway width: three feet (3' ) , including top of curb;
• Parking (if permitted) : on one side only.
• Intersection Design for Unidos & Juarez: standard right-angle
knuckle design (there shall be no street improvements within
the existing street right-of-way east of Juarez Avenue) .
The sketch attached as Exhibit 1 depicts a) the existing right-of-
way; b) the additional right-of-way previously required by PD-1065;
and, c) the right-of-way required by the above recently approved
standard.
The City Council also requested that staff prepare an estimate for
the cost to prepare a design for the construction of street
improvements in this area.
DISCUSSION
A. Design
The City Engineer's Office has prepared the requested design
cost estimate, which is summarized as follows:
• From Liberty Bell Road to Juarez Avenue, including the
"knuckle" design at the east end of Unidos Avenue:
$13 ,764;

• From a point approximately two hundred seventy feet (270' )
east of Liberty Bell Road, easterly to Juarez Avenue,
including the "knuckle" design at the east end of Unidos
Avenue: $9,107.
B. Developer Deposits
In August of 1993 the City cashed a letter of credit from the
developer of the property encompassed by PD-1065, in the amount
of $35,000. That deposit guaranteed the construction of certain
street improvements along the Unidos Avenue frontage of the
property.
C. Engineering Efforts
It is recommended that the City use a portion of the above
mentioned monies to fund the preparation of a design for street
improvements along the Unidos frontage of PD-1065, including the
removal of existing street improvements east of Juarez Avenue.
It is also recommended that those engineering efforts include
the preparation of legal descriptions for the street right-of-
way to be dedicated to the City, as well as the street right-of-
way east of Juarez Avenue which may possibly be declared
"surplus. " A re-cap of those engineering costs is as follows:
• Design: $ 9,107
• Legal Descriptions: $ 1,426
$10,533
RECOMMENDATIONS (Roll Call Vote Required)
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Authorize the City Engineer to proceed with the engineering
efforts described in Section C of this report to be funded by a
portion of the developer deposits described in Section B of this
report;
2. Appropriate $10,600 from Fund 500 (Developer Deposits) and amend
the FY 1996/97 Budget (if necessary) to account for the subject
design project.
