e e ~ PLAKHING IlEPORt DArE' 11 July 1984 CASE NUMBER: 1488-84 APPLICANT: Williate. & Lorna Jones LOCATION: West of Lexington Avenue, South of Rose Place Alignment ACTION REQUESTED: Advice to City Council Regarding Handling of Road Access PLAKRIKG CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Attached is a cllpy of the Planning Commission's recommendation to the Council prepared for Council action at their 11 June 1984 me~ting. These recommendations were determined by the Planning commission at its 6 June 1984 llI.eeting. At that Council meeting, the applicant reversing his prevlous offer to construct a ptlvate road on the public ri3ht-of-way requested that a public street again be ccnsi<iered, The Clty Engineering Dapar::m.ent hu estimated that a properly constructed privat~ access road on the public right-of-way could cost up to 75 percent of ,he cost of a public street. With this consideration in mind, th~ Counc.&.l requests that the Planning Commission con'lder' a. Applications of the street Wl th tesr~ct to future access to the westerly portion of the ro.ol:>i1e hOI'<e park land. b. Cost of II publlC street versus ~h~ cost of II private drive. c. Could the construction be staged so as to avoid the cost of tearing up a private street at the tUllE" II p1lbhc street is constructed? 2. The hrat consideration u br.:st illustrste~ by a sketch (to be avu14ble at the meetlng) WhlCh shows no~ a private street coald be Cvnst.ucted from th~ end of a public cuI-dc-sac easterly back to Lexington Avenue through the mobile home park proprrty, From the loop thus formed, . cul-d~-sac can be extended westerly as far as r.eceuary within the mobile park property without ex~eeding th~ 500 foot limitAtion placed on such cuI-dc-sac length for c~ergency vehicle access pu~pose~. K~eplng 1n mind that the mob11e home park's underlYlng zoni~g 11 B-3 (Business), such an access patte~n could be very import~nt to the ultlmatc development of the property. It is also true that the Hre Mat'shall has informed us that, in his opinlon, the connect1.on to the mobde home park to a pllblic cul-de-sao:: on Rose Pl~ce lo;ould be very helpful now for hre department access purposes to 8e~ve tr.e existing ClOLile hOllle park. Our conclusion 11 that the construction of a public cul-de-sac at this tlme could therefore assist in an appropdate and safer access to the r:Iobile hOllle park now and for develop=ent in the future.
