Report
Summary
By petition and ballot, 87 percent of Gold Key Racquet Club property owners approved a request to form an improvement district and agreed to convey their property interests as conditions to accept the improved streets as public right-of-way. Approximately 40 property owners have executed documents to convey their property interests. These documents will be held in escrow until the improvement district is formed.
Financial Impact
Total proposed improvement costs are currently estimated at $250,000. The City of Phoenix will pay 12 percent of the proposed improvement costs, currently estimated at $30,000, to acquire Tract C (shown on map attachment) that will be accepted as part of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. Gold Key Racquet Club property owners will pay the remaining amount of the proposed improvement costs, currently estimated at $220,000.
Public Outreach
In March 2017, the affected property owners were polled by mail to determine the level of support for the proposed improvements. Poll results show 87 percent of the property owners support the project.
