Agenda - Public Works Committee - 05/15/2012

Home

Form a public works perspective a paved access is preferred for utility maintenance in these situations because we often receive complaints from residents after we access their property with heavy equipment and rut up/damage their lawns and/or irrigation systems. Currently there is no need to access the sanitary sewer in this location, because it will not be utilized until the adjacent area to the north and west develops, or the City decides it wants to construct this gravity system. It will most likely remain in place until such time that development of the adjacent land occurs and the final trunk alignment is reviewed with a land use application. Staff believes it would even be appropriate to require the adjacent future development to be responsible for revisions to the sanitary sewer system that would support their project, and also to construct approximately 100' of trail along the common lot line as a pedestrian connection (if necessary). A pedestrian trail in this location is currently shown on the City's Master Park and Trail Plan, so this matter will need to be addressed at some point. Funding Source: There is no funding request associated with this matter, to date staff time has been used for research and communications. Staff Recommendation: Staff would like to know if the Public Works Committee has changed it's stance on resolving this matter in the short term, and whether an agreement can be reached with the property owner on their proposal letter. Committee Action: Based upon discussion.
