Commissioners approve $3,478.20 sidewalk-in-lieu payment for Martin Luther King Jr. Drive frontage
Summary
The Jonesboro Metropolitan Area Planning Commission approved a sidewalk-in-lieu payment of $3,478.20 from Bluebird Rentals LLC to cover 50.5 square yards of sidewalk along Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive at $68.78 per square yard.
The Jonesboro Metropolitan Area Planning Commission voted to approve a sidewalk-in-lieu payment of $3,478.20 from Bluebird Rentals LLC to meet pedestrian frontage requirements along Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.
The payment covers 50.5 square yards at a rate of $68.78 per square yard, the city planner said, noting the amount reflects an actual bid for the Martin Luther King Drive highway project rather than the annual average used for other in-lieu calculations. Commissioners moved and seconded approval and registered the affirmative voice vote.
City staff explained the difference in per-square-yard rates during the item: the withdrawn sidewalk project previously discussed had used an estimated, averaged rate; the MLK Drive amount was based on an actual construction bid specific to that roadway. No objections were recorded during the discussion and the commission approved the payment.
The agenda earlier listed an untabled sidewalk item at 1625 West Parker Road; that item was withdrawn and the applicant will install the sidewalk rather than pay in lieu, the commission chair said. No other conditions or amendments were added to the MLK Drive in-lieu approval.
Record of the vote and motion details were taken by voice; no roll-call vote or named vote tally was stated in the meeting transcript.
