CASE # <br /> <br />REPORT FROM PUBLIC WORKS <br /> By: Public Works Staff <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The Public Works Committee met on Tuesday, September 16, 2003 and discussed the following two cases: <br /> <br />Case #1 <br /> <br />Consider Making Blue Velvet Lane a City Street <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />As an outgrowth of the discussion of the CR 116 median extension, there was discussion about taking over <br />Blue Velvet Lane as a public street. The option of dedicating a 50-foot or 60-foot right-of-way over the <br />existing roadway would be problematic. The loss of area from the Blue Velvet Car Wash lot would make <br />this property substandard in the side yard set back, the minimum lot size and the percent building coverage. <br />The intensive landscaping adjacent to the north curbline would be adversely impacted from snow plowing <br />and the steep slope would make snow storage difficult. If the roadway were to be shifted southward, taking <br />all the right-of-way from River's Bend Plaza lot would require major reconstruction. Staff recommended if <br />the property owner is interested in taking over Blue Velvet Drive as a public street on the condition the <br />right-of-way be dedicated to the City and the cost of upgrading be born by the benefited properties. <br /> <br />Consensus was to direct staff to contact the property owners of Blue Velvet Lane regarding the possibility <br />of changing Blue Velvet Lane to a City Street. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Ratify the recommertdation of the Public Works Committee. <br /> <br />Case #2: <br /> <br />Consider Modifying Traffic Control at the Intersection of Riverdale Boulevard and <br />Armstrong Boulevard <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski explained that the intersection of Riverdale Boulevard and Armstrong Boulevard <br />currently has a single stop sign located on the west leg of the intersection and that it has been problematic. <br />It was staff's recommendation that a stop sign be placed going westbound. <br /> <br />Motion was made to place a stop sign going westbound at the intersection o fRiverdale Boulevard and <br />Armstrong Boulevard. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />City Administrator <br />Director of Public Works/Fire Chief <br />Assistant Public Works Director/Principal City Engineer <br /> <br />CC: 10/14/03 <br /> <br /> <br />
