Council approves $198,000 purchase to secure right‑of‑way for Lone Tree Way widening
Summary
Council authorized a purchase and sale agreement with Jose and Lorena Velez for roughly 8,175 square feet at $198,000 to complete right‑of‑way needed for phase‑2 of Lone Tree Way widening, including sidewalks and bike lanes; construction anticipated to begin later this summer.
Engineering Director Alan Bacalar presented a purchase and sale agreement to acquire approximately 8,175 square feet adjacent to the Muslim Community Center for $198,000. He said the price is based on appraised fair market value and includes compensation for removal and replacement of existing improvements, including mature Italian cypress trees along the entryway.
Approval of the agreement allows the city to advance the Lone Tree Way widening CIP (phase 2) to a four‑lane arterial with new sidewalks and bike lanes; construction was anticipated to begin later this year. Council asked staff to maintain communication with the Muslim Community Center to minimize construction impacts on the facility and confirmed rights‑of‑way on neighboring parcels.
