Report
Summary
City Council authorized the formation of the Gold Key Racquet Club Repaving Improvement District on June 27, 2018, to provide street paving, curb ramps, street signs, and improvements in the area generally bounded by 2nd Street to the south, 1st Street and Dahlia Drive to the north, Central Avenue to the west, and 3rd Street to the east. The improvements consisted of the installation of pavement overlay, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps, street signs, and related work. Attachment A provides the assessment diagram detailing the extent of the project and the parcels to be assessed for the improvements.
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.
Financial Impact
The total proposed improvement cost to the property owners is estimated at $201,600, including soft costs. The estimated participation from the City of Phoenix will not exceed $60,000.
A warrant for this project detailing the amount that will be assessed for the parcels was recorded in the office of the Superintendent of Streets (Street Transportation Department Director) on Dec. 18, 2019.
