OF CITY FUNDS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF ANY BRIDGES, SERVING CARLYLE _
AND CHURCH STREETS, l.;r'rlICH MIGHT R..'SSULT FROM THE DIVERSION OF DRAINAGE
WATERS ACROSS TRACT NO. 6663.
WHEREAS, the "566 Drainage Project" proposes to construct
a new channel across Carlyle Street and Church Street in the vicinity
of Tract No. 6663 "Barnett-Range"; and
WHEREAS, the General Plan of the City of Gilroy has for
many years shown the need of Church Street as an arterial street
requiring a seventy-five (75) foot wide right-of-way in the area of
this crossing to accommodate projected traffic needs; and
WHEREAS, the Plan Lines for Church Street pre-existed the
Plan Lines for the 566 Project; and
WHEREAS, the City has had utility lines within the proposed
section of Church Street for many years; and
WHEREAS, the remaining street improvements are now being
constructed to City standards and to dimensions established in the
adopted General Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City will require the developer to excavate a
portion of the drainage channel thus saving money for the 566 Project;
and
WHEREAS, the 566 Project proposes to divert drainage run-
off from its natural course through said Tract; and
WHEREAS, the Project does not yet have approval to proceed
with construction nor does it yet have assurance of being approved;
and
WHEREAS, at the time the project is approved there will
exist two (2) public streets in this vicinity, each requiring bridges;
and
WHEREAS, in order to proceed, it will be necessary for the
project to obtain permission from both the County and the City to

provide for the channel to cross our streets.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT P~SOLVED the City of Gilroy hereby
adopts this statement of position:
BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Gilroy will not bear a
cost for the crossing of Church Street resulting from the diversion
of flood waters through Tract No. 6663 by the "566 Drainage Project".
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City will cooperate with
said project by requiring the developer of Tract No. 6663 to provide
an alternate access to Church Street for the Conrotto property and
thus make it possible for the abandonment of that part of Carlyla
which presently crosses the proposed channel right-of-way; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that because of the City Bridge
needs to accommodate the wide section of Church Street, the City will
assist in the abandonment of said portion of Carlyle Street and thus
make it unnecessary for the project to provide two (2) bridges in
this vicinity.
