TITLE
Recommendation to request City Manager, or designee, to accept two easement deeds for sidewalk widening at 1495 Judson Avenue. (District 1)
DISCUSSION
It is the goal of the Department of Public Works to widen streets and alleys to the standards established in the City's General Plan. When significant new development is proposed, the public rights-of-way adjacent to the site are reviewed for sufficiency to accommodate the new development. For the construction of a 3,564-square foot office building at 1495 Judson Avenue, the dedication of 4 feet of additional sidewalk width is recommended. This action will widen the public sidewalk along the Judson Avenue parcel frontage from 6 to 10 feet wide as shown on the attachment.
The property is held by two different entities, both of which have agreed to development conditions, which include the above-described dedication. Two separate grants of easement are therefore required.
In conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Categorical Exemption No. CEP 08-055 was issued for this project.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda Trang on November 3, 2009 and Budget and Performance Management Bureau Manager David Wodynski on December 17, 2009.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this matter is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
A document processing fee of $490 was paid by the developer and deposited in the General Fund (GP) in the Department of Public Works (PW).
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
Michael P. Conway
Director of Public Works
