Explanation
§ Mecklenburg County desires to lease approximately 8,108 square feet of land at 10300 Compass Street located in Huntersville adjacent to Council District 4 (parcel identification number 017-153-07) for a portion of the Torrence Creek Tributary II Greenway (“Greenway”).
§ This property is the location of the CATS Huntersville Gateway Park and Ride Lot, which includes 311 parking spaces. The Greenway will be constructed adjacent to the park and ride lot and will have a trailhead into the lot which will require the removal of one space.
§ The County’s proposed Greenway does not affect the property’s transit capacity or use and has the potential to increase CATS system ridership by enhancing pedestrian and bicycle access to CATS services.
§ Mecklenburg County is responsible for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Greenway.
§ The City is also granting temporary construction access through the CATS park and ride facility and maintenance access throughout the term of the lease.
§ The terms of the lease agreement are as follows:
- Approximately 8,108 sq. feet of land located at 10300 Compass Street;
- A five-year term with the option to extend for an additional five-year period; and
- Base rent of $1.00 per year.
