The City owns PID 271-01178-0200 at the eastern end of Jewell Street. The existing right-of- way ends before a gravel area and dip that is experiencing drainage and washout issues. The school district has agreed to transfer approximately 100 feet of right-of-way to the City through a Certified Survey Map. The concept also includes a 12-foot trail right-of- way along the western side of the City-owned parcel. The CSM would provide legal access to PID 271-01178-0200 and preserve the ability to extend Jewell Street in the future. It would not require the City to immediately construct the street extension. Mayor Mike Gerke asked whether the City would pay the school district for the land. Wolf said discussions have included providing the school district with 10% of the proceeds from the future sale of PID 271-01178-0200. Commissioner Gergen asked whether the sale proceeds would be enough to extend the street. Wolf said the City would need to determine the location of the water and sewer utilities before developing an appropriate cost estimate. Commissioner Most asked whether there was an active buyer for PID 271-01178-0200. Wolf said there was not. Maria Reis of 1855 Jewell Street stated that she supports extending the road and believes the City would recover the cost over time through property taxes from the new lot. Commissioner Most motioned to recommend that the City proceed with obtaining a CSM and bring the completed CSM back through the required approval process. Otto seconded; motion passed without a negative voice (4-0-1, R eis abstained). Commissioner Otto motioned to adjourn. Gergen seconded; motion passed without a negative voice vote ( 5 -0). The meeting was adjourned at 6: 15 PM. The next Plan Commission meeting will be held on Tuesday , September 8 th , 202 6 , at 6:00 PM at Prescott City Hall. Respectfully Submitted, Luke Wiese Planne r
