<br />~ <br /> <br />. . <br /> <br />conforming due to the Side Yard Comer setback. The Side Yard Comer setback regulation <br />creates a setback for comer properties which is equivalent to the front yard setback. In this <br />particular situation, the resident's property would require a Side Yard Comer setback of 40 feet, <br />where the resident's home is approximately 19 feet from the east property line. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Potential Options for the City Council to Consider: <br /> <br />1. The City Maintains Ownership of the Pedestrian Way: Staff has reviewed the resident's <br />request with the City Engineer, Director of Operations and Maintenance, and Ramey <br />County's Project Manager for the Lexington Avenue project. All of these individuals <br />indicated that while the Pedestrian Way has not been used yet, it may be required in the <br />future. They have pointed out that additional right-of-way had to acquired from the <br />property owners to the north for the current round of Lexington A venue improvements. <br />In addition, if a signal or additional utilities needed to be located in the right-of-way to <br />the east of the Pedestrian Way, it may require shifting the pathway to the west and <br />perhaps onto the Pedestrian Way. The resident has indicated that if the City is to retain <br />the property he would like to see the City maintain the property. ~ <br /> <br />a. Staff's Action: If the Council determines that the City should retain the <br />Pedestrian Way, staff's action would be to write a letter to the resident stating that . <br />the City Council is not interested in vacating the Pedestrian Way. <br /> <br />2. Vacate the Pedestrian Way, attach the vacated property to Karth Lake Hills, Lot 1, <br />Block 2 (1104 Amble Drive): The process to vacate the Pedestrian Way is similar to the <br />process to vacate a right-of-way. The City would have to hold a public hearing and make <br />a finding that the Pedestrian Way was no longer necessary for a public purpose. The <br />vacated Pedestrian Way would then be adjoined to the resident's property to the west. <br /> <br />a. Staff's Action: If the Council determines that the Pedestrian Way should be <br />vacated, staff would set a public hearing for the vacation to be held before the <br />Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Reuuested Actiou <br /> <br />Staff is seeking work direction for this process. <br /> <br />Page 2 of2 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />\\Earth\Planning\Misc Files\QI-24-05 Memo to Council on] 104 Amble Drive & request for Vacation of Pedestrian Way_doc <br />
