(EEFI) as a non profit de ve lopment co rporation l o further th e rede ve lopment of the Cinderella City
site.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff reco mm ends Cou nci l approval of a Reso luti on supporting th e right-of-way dedication fr om the
EEFI.
• BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
In the mid 1 %O's, as Cinderella City was being co nstru cted, the de ve loper realigned West Floyd
Avenue to its present loca tion . The new Floyd Ave nue right-of-way wa s dedicated to the public,
and was properly re cor ded In Arapah oe County r~cords. Owners hip of the old Floyd Avenue
alignment, between Cherokee and Delaware , trans fe rred to the de ve lope r (see attached aerial
photo exhibit). The legal description for the Floyd Ave nue dedi ca tion did not include extending
Sou th Cherokee Stre et lo Floyd ,111d did not address access to the south end of the alley between
Cherokee and Delaware.
In the late 1990's, lo facilitate CityCenter development, EEFI obtained title to all the Cind erella City
properties formally ow ned by the Equitable Life Insurance Company and Kravco Inc. included In
this transfer was the triangular shaped parcel of old Floyd Ave nue . Arapahoe County records list
EEFI as the owner. Staff conferred with a title company who co nfirm ed that EEFI is the owner.
II appears that the intent was always to dedicate the Cherokee Street extension and alley access.
City improvements were constructed on the property, including street paving and a traffic signal at
the intersection . Physical access has continuously existed since the mid 1 %O 's.
EEFI proposes lo dedicate Right-of-Way for Chernkee Street, the alley access, and sidewalk along
Floyd Avenue. The proposed dedication is shown on the attached Land Survey Plat as "Parcel A"
and depicted on the attached color aerial photo.
