COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING/MOTION DENYING A REQUEST TO WAIVE
THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE INSTALLATION OF SIDEWALKS IN DAYTON PARK
SUBDIVISION 3RD ADDITION.
ACTION FORM SUMMARY: Dayton Park L.L.C. is requesting that the requirement to
install sidewalks in the Dayton Park Subdivision 3rd Addition be waived on one side of the
street that is being installed. Previously a request was made to the City Council to waive
the requirement for sidewalks in total. The City Council denied that request.
Staff is recommending that the request to waive the sidewalk requirement for installation
of sidewalks on both sides of the street and allow sidewalks to be installed on one side of
the street of Dayton Park Subdivision 3rd Addition be denied.
BACKGROUND:
The owners of the property described as Dayton Park Subdivision 3rd Addition are
requesting that the City Council waive the requirement for the installation of sidewalks on
both sides of the street, which is proposed to be installed as part of the Subdivision. The
owners are proposing to install the sidewalk on only one side of the street (see the
attached copy of their letter).
The owners of the property in question previously requested that the entire requirement
for the installation of sidewalks be waived. The City Council denied that request at the City
Council meeting of February 22, 2000.
ANALYSIS:
Dayton Park Subdivision 3rd Addition involves the installation of approximately 500 to 600
lineal feet of street. This length represents approximately two standard block lengths,
which is not a significant length. The amount of sidewalk to be installed with this
Subdivision is therefore not a significant length. As stated earlier, the property owner had
previously requested that this requirement be waived in its entirety. That request was
denied.
The City Council has determined that sidewalks are an important component of the
transportation mobility within the City. This policy is clearly emphasized in the
Transportation Plan that is in the process of being finalized. The request to install
sidewalks on one side of the street appears to recognize the importance of pedestrian
,
mobility, but to a limited degree. In reviewing the Subdivision that has been approved, it
is not clear which side of the street would generate more or less pedestrian traffic. Since
pedestrian mobility is an important element of mobility within the City, staff cannot
recommend that sidewalks be eliminated from one side of the street in this Subdivision (a
copy of the Plat for this area is attached).
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council can approve the request from Dayton Park L.L.C. to waive the
requirement for the installation of sidewalks on both sides of the street and allow
sidewalks to be installed on one side of the street.
2. The City Council can deny the request from Dayton Park L.L.C. to waive the
requirement for the installation of sidewalks, which would require the sidewalks to be
constructed on both sides of the street.
3. The City council can refer this request back to staff for additional information.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #2.
This action will deny the request to waive the requirement to install sidewalks on both sides
of the Street within the Dayton Park Subdivision 3" Addition and allow the walks to be
installed on only one side of the street. Pedestrian mobility is an important means for
citizens to move about the City and sidewalks are needed to accomplish this objective. The
City has renewed a commitment to provide for this type of mobility and there is little
justification to not provide for pedestrian mobility in this part of the City.

Re: Petition for Waiver of sidewalks (one side) for Dayton Park 3rd Addition
Dear Mayor Tedesco,
Dayton Park L.L.C., which is owned by Dean and Erb Hunziker, are respectfully
requesting a waiver of the sidewalk requirement (on one side of the street) in the Dayton
Park Subdivision, Third Addition.
Our initial request to have the sidewalks waived altogether was denied. We are hopeful
that the waiver of one side of the street is a reasonable compromise to both the developer
and the City of Ames.
Sincerely,
aX"4A*
