An acquisition agreement for $299,070. <br />2. A relocation agreement with Johnson Chapel. <br />3. An agreement with Gates Development for $129,656 for costs <br />associated with relocation of the Hispanic Worship of the Johnson <br />Chapel church; and <br />4. An agreement transferring the vacant City property at 1309 W. Second <br />Street to the Johnson Chapel. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Bristol Corridor Specific Plan, approved by the City Council in 1992 <br />includes street improvements on Bristol Street from Pine Street to Third <br />Street. These improvements are needed to improve traffic flow, which is <br />currently operating at an unacceptable level of service. <br />To accommodate the widening, it is necessary to acquire a portion of the <br />Church property located at 1306 W. Second Street and 204 N. Bristol <br />Street (Exhibit 1). The appraised value for the portion of the church <br />property is $972,470. The City vacant lot was appraised at $173,400. The <br />remaining balance due to the Johnson Chapel is $299,070. The City's <br />acquisition will also result in the displacement of the Hispanic Worship <br />Center operated by the Johnson Chapel at 1306 W. Second Street. The <br />existing building will be demolished and a replacement will eventually be <br />constructed by the Johnson Chapel on another part of the remaining site. <br />25J-1 <br />
