Date: September 30, 2002

Re: Ordinance No.127-02 -Ashland Development Agreement
Summary:
The City and Ashland executed an agreement in 1999, which provided that Ashland would dedicate
approximately 6.534 acres of real property to the City and the City would provide Ashland with up to two
curb cuts (one full-service and one right-in/right out) along Ashland's Rings Road Frontage. The agreement
also allowed Ashland to select the location of the two curb cuts.
During 2001, Ashland chose the location of the full service curb cut and notified the City. After reviewing
the selected location of the full-service curb cut, City staff determined that a more appropriate location
existed at a more eastern point on Rings Road in alignment with apre-existing break in the median.
Ordinance No. 127-02 enables the City Manager to sign a Development Agreement with Ashland, Inc. in
which Ashland has agreed to the City's preferred location of the curb cut and will waive its right to select a
second curb cut as provided in the 1999 agreement.
The City has agreed to install a traffic signal on Rings Road and construct an access road to the Ashland
campus. Ashland will reimburse the City for the actual cost of constructing the access road not to exceed
$220,000, the original access road costs for its preferred curb cut location. The estimated construction cost
for the access road and signalization is $651,866.
This project was included in the 2003 - 2007 CIP and the service payments from the Rings/Frantz TIF will
be utilized to fund the improvements.
Ashland's fifty percent share of the access road cost has decreased since City Council received the May 16,
2002 update on this project because the estimated construction cost for the access drive was less than the
preliminary design cost.
Recommendation:
Staff is recommending the adoption of Ordinance No. 127-02 at the October 21, 2002 City Council
meeting.
