The Grants Pass City Council made quick work of a brief business agenda on Wednesday night.
The City Council first approved the vacation of a property line between two lots on Redwood Avenue. An existing building straddles the shared line and there is just one owner for both lots -- Southern Oregon Sanitation -- which intends to change the use of the existing building. Removal of the property line allows the long-time local company to meet minimum setback requirements.
The Council then approved two ordinances adopting a developer-installed reimbursement district for the E Street Sewer Extension and the Buckmaster Subdivision Water Main Extension.
The cost of the E Street sewer is $84,644.50. Each unit that connects to the sewer will be assessed $6,046.04. The assessment for connection to the Buckmaster Subdivision for residential hookups is $1,796.75. For non-residential connection -- of which there are two -- one would pay $31,456 and the other $86,545.
Two citizens -- Emma Black and Bob Lange -- were appointed to the Bikeways & Walkways Committee.
Councilors adjourned and reconvened as the Urban Renewal Agency, which then approved a building rehabilitation grant in the amount of $44,973 for Ausland Holdings for the building at 735 SE 6th Street known as "The Riverway." The amount represents 25% of the total qualifying project costs.
