AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board Business Meeting of September 24, 2014
Please see directions for completing this document on the next page.
DATE: September 15,2014
FROM: George Kolb, County Engineer Road 541-322-7113
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of Board Signature of Resolution No. 2014-078, Approving the Acquisition of Right of
Way on Powell Butte Highway, Neff Road and Alfalfa Market Road for the Future Construction of a
Roundabout
PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE? NO.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
In 2014, the Board of County Commissioners adopted a 5-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), which
identified the intersection of Powell Butte Highway, Neff Road and Alfalfa Market Road as the #1
priority based on the high crash rate and injury crash rate at the intersection. The Fiscal Year (FY)
14/15 Budget obligated $2.5M to fund the improvements at this intersection. An engineering study was
conducted along with public meetings and a roundabout was chosen as the preferred alternative for this
intersection. The goal of the project is to construct a safe, well-functioning roundabout within the
unique sight-distance constrained rural location in an effort to reduce the overall crash rate and injury
crash rate to an acceptable level. The design/construction of the roundabout will require that additional
right of way be acquired from adjoining lots to facilitate the construction of the roundabout and
subsequent road realignments. Signature ofthis Resolution will allow Deschutes County to negotiate
with the subject parcels for the acquisition of all right, title and interest in the required parcels. Any
right of way dedications will be presented to the Board of County Commissioners for acceptance prior
to recording.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The County will be responsible for the cost of the acquired right of way. This acquisition cost has been
budgeted in the FY 2014/15.
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Move approval of Board Signature on Resolution No. 2014-078, Approving Acquisition of Right of
Way on Powell Butte Highway, Neff Road and Alfalfa Market Road for the Future Construction of a
Roundabout
