(Project No. 17-6883) (Non -General Fund) RECOMMENDED ACTION Authorize the City Manager to execute a purchase agreement with property owner Bhaktinandan, LLC., for the partial property acquisition of the real property located at 2702 N. Bristol Street (APN 002-261-06) in the amount of $190,000, subject to non - substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. DISCUSSION Bristol Street is classified as a north -south major arterial in the City's General Plan Circulation Element and the Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways. Improving the 3.9-mile Bristol Street segment from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane has been a long-term priority project that is being constructed in several phases. Currently, the segments to the south and north of the Bristol Street/Memory Lane intersection have three lanes in each direction, except for the southbound lanes approaching Memory Lane where there are only two southbound lanes. The partial acquisition is needed to allow for that portion of the right-of-way to be widened from 100 feet to 111 feet. This acquisition is the last of the three partial acquisition needed to widen the northwest corner of Bristol Street and Memory Lane intersection (Exhibit 1). The project will also include a new curb/gutter, sidewalk, driveway approaches, and both public and private utilities. Construction is anticipated to start in the beginning of 2023. A good faith offer was made on December 20, 2021, in the amount of $135,000 and a resolution of necessity was approved on February 1, 2022. The Public Works Agency has now reached a settlement in the amount of $190,000 with the property owner (Exhibit 2).
