ANDERSON, Community Planning & Development Director Building & Grounds Communication Building & Grounds Meeting: May 1 ; 2014 Prepared: May 7, 2014 Dept. Head Signature: # of Attachments: __ SUBJECT: Resolution approving Development Agreement with the Waterloo Community School District for the development of a new bus barn and maintenance facility located at 1601 and 1624 Black Hawk Street. Submitted by: Noel C. Anderson, Community Planning & Development Director Summary Statement: The City of Waterloo's Community Planning & Development requests the approval of the Development Agreement with the Waterloo Community School District for the development of a new bus barn and maintenance facility located at 1601 and 1624 Black Hawk Street. The City of Waterloo and the Waterloo Community School District through this agreement would agree to exchange the property in question and the current location of the bus barn, school and adjoining land owned by the Waterloo Community School District (see attached map) generally located on the corner of Kimball Avenue and West Orange Road. The Waterloo Community School District and the City of Waterloo have a history of many partnerships in the past and present including working together to provide residential infill of public spaces that were no longer necessary, for example Williston Field and Baltimore Field. They have worked together on many projects to provide land use patterns for future growth throughout the city and wish to continue this partnership. The proposed site is located adjacent to the City of Waterloo fuel station. Staff believes this location would be beneficial not only to the Waterloo Community School District but also to the City of Waterloo and the Metropolitan Transit Authority. The proposed location will bring similar entities together and improve the area by bringing in new development. The site would have the potential to bring in additional employment to the downtown area in turn assisting with support and development of businesses downtown. The Waterloo Community School's Bus Barn and maintenance facility and the Waterloo Metropolitan Transit Authority transfer station could potentially assist each other with bus parts, repairs, washes etc. The central location of the bus barn could be more economical and more favorable for tax payers through the school budget potentially saving on gas and travel time for buses. The Waterloo Community School District is also acquiring the property to the south of Black Hawk Street, known as 1624 Black Hawk Street, for additional parking and an office/maintenance building.
