TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to accept an easement deed from Broadmoor Development, LLC, a California limited liability company, the owner of the property located at 1627 West Summit Street, for the widening of the alley adjacent to the property. (District 1)
DISCUSSION
It is the goal of the Department of Public Works to widen alleys to meet the 20-foot standard established in the City's General Plan. When a new development is proposed, the public right-of-ways adjacent to the site are reviewed for sufficiency to accommodate the new development. For the development of a new two-story residential duplex, the dedication of additional alley width is recommended (Exhibit A), as follows:
The existing 10-foot wide alley should be widened on the south side by 5 feet, to a total width of 15 feet. The standard alley width of 20 feet will be achieved when the property on the north side of the alley is improved and a public alley dedication of 5 feet is recorded.
Broadmoor Development, LLC, the developer of the subject property, agreed to development conditions that include the above-described dedications.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda T. Vu on March 28, 2017 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa Jose-Murray on April 3, 2017.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on April 18, 2017, to accommodate the developer’s occupancy schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT
A document processing fee of $1,258 was paid by the developer and deposited in the General Fund (GF) in the Public Works Department (PW). There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
CRAIG A. BECK
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
