Purpose and Recommended Action
Recommendation
This is a request for City Council to waive reading beyond the title and adopt an ordinance accepting a new sidewalk/driveway easement adjacent to AZ General Hospital ER located at 83rd Avenue and Camelback Road.
Background
AZ General Hospital ER, a new emergency care hospital facility is being constructed adjacent to vacant land owned by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. near 83rd Avenue and Camelback Road. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., is granting the city an easement for a sidewalk and driveway for public access to the facility from the right-of-way. Upon acceptance of the easement, the city will be responsible for the maintenance, operation and repair of the sidewalk and driveway consistent with City Code. The city, however, did not build the sidewalk and driveway; that work was performed by the site contractor.
Analysis
Staff recommends acceptance of the sidewalk/driveway easement. There will be no impact on city departments, staff or service levels as a result of this action. Minimal costs may be incurred by the city in the future to maintain and repair the sidewalk and driveway in this easement.
