SUBJECT:
A Resolution authorizing the City of Aurora to enter into a Lease Agreement of City Owned Property at 1130 Mitchell Road, Aurora, IL with Linares Partners LLC d/b/a Indian Trail Plaza.
PURPOSE:
Resolution authorizing the City of Aurora to enter into a Lease Agreement of City Owned Property at 1130 Mitchell Road, Aurora, IL with Linares Partners LLC d/b/a Indian Trail Plaza.
BACKGROUND:
The Indian Trail Plaza shopping center contains a number of businesses including a Secretary of State Facility. The owner and manager of the Indian Trail Plaza approached the City indicating that they required additional parking spaces for the Secretary of State Facility. Former Deputy Mayor Chuck Nelson took the lead in working with the owner and manager on developing a plan that addresses the shopping center’s need for parking while at the same time protects the City’s interests. The property commonly known as 1130 Mitchell Road is owned by the City and located just south of the Indian Trail Plaza.
DISCUSSION:
The lessee will build and maintain a parking lot on City property for use by the Secretary of State Facility during their business hours. The parking lot can be used by the City's Emergency Management Division when events at the EMA Building, located to the south at 1100 Mitchell Road, require additional parking. It is envisioned that the parking lot can be used during training events or if an emergency takes place. The parking lot design was completed by the City Engineering Division, and the lessee will obtain a permit prior to construction. The parking lot is configured around maintaining the Water Production Division's eastern access road to the Aurora Water Treatment Plant.
The lease agreement is for a ten-year term and can be renewed if mutually agreed by the City and lessee. The monthly rent for this space is $10 per month. The lease is attached as Exhibit 'A'.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
The approval of this lease agreement would allow for the Secretary of State Facility on behalf of Linares Partners LLC d/b/a Indian Trail Plaza to provide additional parking in a space that would otherwise sit vacant.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Please forward this resolution to the Finance Committee for their review and recommendation.
