Title: RE3 - John I Leonard High School

Recommendation:

I recommend the School Board approve granting, in favor of Palm Beach County, three Fee Simple Deeds, each with respect to portions of the John I. Leonard High School site, all as herein described; and authorize the Superintendent and Chairman to sign all necessary documents.

Description:

• The deeds are for three (3) proposed right of way dedications for new turn lanes to serve the John I. Leonard High School site. The County, at its expense, will construct the new turn lanes on Haverhill Road and at the intersection of Haverhill Road and 10^th Avenue North in the areas labeled “2” and “3” on the Parcel Map Exhibit “A”.  The School District, at its expense, will construct the new turn lane at the 10^th avenue North main entrance in the area labeled “1” on the Parcel Map Exhibit “A”.

• The new turn lanes will provide automobile stacking for turning movements into the school and remove cars from the main through lanes on 10^th Avenue North and Haverhill Road, thereby helping to minimize traffic congestion from the school on to the adjacent 10^th Avenue North and Haverhill Road access points.

• The three right of way dedications are, respectively, approximately 13 feet wide and 550 feet long, 13 feet wide and 500 feet long and 13 feet wide and 800 feet long.

Financial Impact:
The financial impact to the Capital Projects Funds Budget for the turn lane and sidewalk on 10^th Avenue North is $65,000. The source of funds is the project budget as approved by the Board at the time of the Construction Contract Award.
