Title
Resolution authorizing the Commissioner of Public Works to issue a permit to the M.A. Mortenson Company allowing occupancy of the eastbound lanes along with the median of East Kilbourn Avenue between North Prospect Avenue and North Marshall Street and more than 20 feet of the North Prospect Avenue right-of-way adjacent to the site of the proposed Kilbourn Tower condominium project. (DPW)
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Commissioner of Public Works to issue an Occupancy Permit to the M.A. Mortenson Company during construction of the Kilbourn Tower condominium project to be located at the southwest corner of East Kilbourn and North Prospect Avenues. The permit would allow Mortenson to occupy the eastbound lanes and the adjacent median of East Kilbourn Avenue between North Marshall Street and North Prospect during construction. The permit would also allow Mortenson to occupy the sidewalk area, parking lane and one travel lane of North Prospect Avenue adjacent to the project site.
Body
Whereas, The M.A. Mortenson Company has been hired by the project developer to construct the Kilbourn Tower condominium building; and
Whereas, The project site is very constrained with the building planned to cover its entire area; and
Whereas, Given the constraints of the site, certain staging and construction activities will necessarily spill over into adjacent streets; and
Whereas, Construction is expected to last from June 2003 until approximately the end of 2004; and
Whereas, Mortenson has requested permission to occupy the eastbound lanes and the adjacent median of East Kilbourn Avenue between North Marshall Street and North Prospect Avenue as well as the sidewalk area, the parking lane and one travel lane of North Prospect Avenue abutting the construction site; and
Whereas, The Commissioner of Public Works is authorized to issue a permit for temporary occupancy of up to one-third of public rights-of-way adjacent to building sites while temporary use beyond that must be approved by the Common Council; and
Whereas, Staff from the Department of Public Works have worked with Mortenson to determine the least disruptive plan for street occupancy that still meets the contractor's and the developer's objectives; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee that the Commissioner of Public Works is hereby authorized to issue a permit to the M.A. Mortenson Company allowing occupancy of East Kilbourn and North Prospect Avenues as described herein approximately between late June 2003 and the end of 2004.
