CASE # <br /> <br />REPORT FROM PUBLIC WORKS <br />By: Public Works Staff <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The Public Works Committee met on October 15, 2002 and discussed the following five cases: <br /> <br />Case # 1 <br /> <br />Consider Trail Extension along T.H. #47 from the southern boundary <br />of Apple Ridge to the north boundary of River Pines 5th Addition <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />As a condition of the approval of River Pines 5th Addition, that developer was requested to install <br />a trail from the southern boundary of Apple Ridge to the northern boundary of the subdivision, <br />along the west side of T.H. #47. Three options were presented to accomplish this task. After <br />seeing the options and hearing testimony from the abutting residents, it was the consensus of the <br />Committee to consider subdividing the existing Outlot, transferring the land to the abutting <br />property owners, requiring the residents to construct a fence on the top of the existing berm after <br />the trail is constructed, and retain easements for drainage, utility and street and trail purposes on <br />the transferred land. <br /> <br />Staff was directed to investigate the costs for subdividing the land, take the steps necessary to <br />facilitate the outlot land transfer from the current owner to the City, and bring the item back to the <br />City Council at a future date. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br />None <br /> <br />Case #2 <br /> <br />Request by residents to install stop signs at 156t~ Lane NW/Yakima <br />Street NW <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />It was brought to our attention by several residents of the Reilley Estates subdivision that a sight <br />restricted intersection exists on 156th Lane NW and Yakima Street NW. After performing a <br />volume analysis and visiting the site, Staff recommended that stop signs be placed on the two <br />Yakima Street NW legs and some pruning of vegetation occur to improve the operational <br />characteristics of the intersection. <br /> <br />There was a motion to recommend to the City Council to install stop signs on the two Yakima <br />Street NW legs of the intersection of 156' Lane NW/Yakima Street NW. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. <br /> <br />-417- <br /> <br /> <br />
