, MEMO: 5/7/34 • • T0; James Andre, City h4anager FROM: Charles Honchell, Public jVorks Director RE: Item B-4, Jone's Rezoning Request - 2551 No. Lexington Ave. the Public Works staff strongly recommends that a decision on the method of access to this area be determined at this time for the following reasons: 1) Tlie use of the land may require additionalright-of-way for cul-de-sac. 2) The intensity of :land use on the two underdeveloped parcels may be incom- capable with the case of �unlap Street as an access street to serve that property. 3) The watermain r�ust be built now to properly loop the system. 4) The city subdivision code requires the construction of all public roadways (or the deposit of lZ times the value) at the time of approval. 5) The R-2 land requires access now for its construction. 6) Emergency vehicles cannot properly turn around on Bunlap or access the trailer court at present. Potential Actions 1} Defer street decisions until the future. The public works staff recommends against this as stated above, Suggested Conditions for Agreement to Use Rose Place Right-of-Way for Private Roadway. (As per Planning Commission Recommendation). If this approach is chosen by the council, staff recommends a deveiopment agreement to require the folllowing, prior to any action on the proposed subdivision: a�) Dedication of land for cul-de-sac(s). b.) Deposit o£ lz times value of estimated cost of developer's share of Rose Place as a public street. c.) Construct pr�.vate road in accordance with city's development standards, including adec{uate drainage facilities, curbing and turn-a-round for emergency vehicles. d.) SYatermain to be constructed from Lexington Avenue to Dunlap Street to provide Iooped water service to proposed development. 2) Build Rose Place to Dunlap. This is the preferred decision, if the trailer court is not expected to xedevelop intv a major traffic generator. 3) Build two cul-de-sacs at the end of Dunlap and on Rose Place. This fits the proposed development of the rear off Fernwood and provides maximum seperation of traffic from the variAUS parcels. It would require right- of-way dedication, street construction and assessments at this time by aIl the praperties involved, This is the preferred solution, if it is assumed that the trailer court will develop into a major generator.
