HomeMy WebLinkAboutA015 - Council Action Form dated January 9, 1990 ITEM #: C> J DATE: 01/09/90 COUNCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: Resolution Approving the Request to Waive Sidewalks as a Plat Improve- ment in Sondrol's Third Addition and H & B Subdivision. BACKGROUND: The owners of Sondrol's Third Addition and the H & B Subdivision have requested that the requirement for sidewalks as part of subdividing land be waived by the City Council. ANALYSIS: Sondrol's Third Addition is a small seven lot subdivision located in the eastern portion of the City north of Lincoln Way. The entire Sondrol Subdivision is made up of 20 lots. To date no sidewalks have been constructed in previous additions to this subdivision. The entire subdivision has been developed with a long cul-de-sac street design so that the street serves as a local private access street. The subdivision has developed as a low-intensity, warehouse and construc- tion activity area. Little pedestrian movement is anticipated. Because of these circumstances, a waiver of the sidewalk requirement is justified. The H & B Subdivision is a four lot subdivision that is located in the eastern portion of the City along Lincoln Way. The access to these lots is from Lincoln Way via narrow strips of frontage. Although no sidewalks have been constructed along Lincoln Way, the fact that this street serves as a high-volume, higher speed arterial, necessi- tates that pedestrian and vehicular traffic be separated. Since the nature of the H & B Subdivision is one that will not generate a great deal of pedestrian traffic, the waiver of the sidewalk requirement is justified with the following stipulation: 1. The developers of the H & B Subdivision file a "Waiver of Rights to Appeal Assessments" as part of the approval of the Final Plat. Maps illustrating these subdivisions are attached to this Action Form. 2 ALTERNATIVES: 1. The City Council can approve of the requests to waive sidewalks as a plat improvement in Sondrol's Third Addition and in H & B Subdi- vision. 2. The City Council can approve of the requests to waive sidewalks as a plat improvement in Sondrol's Third Addition and in H & B Subdi- vision with the following stipulation: a. The developers of the H & B Subdivision file a "Waiver of Rights to Appeal Assessments" as part of the approval of the Final Plat. 3. The City Council can deny approval of the requests to waive side- walks as a plat improvement in Sondrol's Third Addition and in H & B Subdivision. 4. The City Council can refer this request back to staff for further review. MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #2. This will approve of the request to waive sidewalks in Sondrol's Third Addition and H & B Subdivision with the stipulation as stated in this Action Form.
