, . An Official Map is a tool, authorized by State planning, enabling legislation that ... communities can use to make sure that the aspects of their comprehensive plans . will be carried out. In effect, it is like a zoning map for future public lands such as road right-of-ways, parklands, and sites for public buildings. The Official Map gives an opportunity for" ... both the public and private property owners to adjust to their building plans equitably and conveniently before investments are made which will make such adjustments difficult to accomplish." If the City wishes to acquire or utilize the land; then after an Official map is adopted and filed with the County, the City is not required to compensate the landowner for structures placed without a permit or in violation of the conditions of a permit in any area designated on the Official Map. In 1993, the City Council amended the Official Map, Transportation Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan, indicating that the cormection of Shoreline Lane would be via a straight through alignment (Attachment B). Some of the reasons for the adoption of the straight through alignment were to impr6ve the traffic pattern and safety access in the area (per the City Council minutes July 12, 1993.) Staffhas received six letters from residents pertaining to development in this area (Attachment C). e Roadway Design. The applicant submitted a proposal showing a cul-de-sac on the south section of Shoreline Lane. The resulting cul-de-sac would be 600 feet long when 500 feet is the maximum length per the Subdivision Ordinance Section 22-8, (c), (10). The cul-de-sac shown appears to be a 50 foot radius. The Subdivision Ordinance in Section 22-8, (c), (I), requires a 60 foot wide radius for cul-de-sac's. The extension of the north section of Shoreline Lane is shown with no change to the existing dead end configuration. The applicant has submitted advantages and disadvantages as depicted in the previous official map study. Disadvantage number 3 listed states that "only partiaUy resolves dead-end situation to the north." The Staff would concludes that the failure to plan for the northerly cul-de-sac is not an acceptable solution. Additional Options. Staff created two options (Attachment D) that show how a 120 foot diameter cul-de-sac meeting the Subdivision Ordinance may look if placed on the north section of Shoreline Lane. We have also depicted a 120 foot diameter cul-de-sac on the south section of Shoreline Lane. Option A, shows a cul-de-sac from the north expanding beyond the Bachman properly creating a need to acquire property frorn the Josephine East LLC property. Parcel 3 of the Josephine East LLC property would be reduced to ... 10,325 square feet with a reduced buildable area. .,
