CASE #$ CONSIDER THE IMPROVEMENT OF 160TM LANE TO THE TRAPPERS RIDGE SUBDIVISION By: Steven Jankowski, City Engineer Background: Recently the City acquired a full 66 feet of right of way over the westernmost 416 feet of Secti on 15 to provide access to the Trappers Ridge subdivision. The purpose of this right of' way acquisition was twofold, first, to provide access to the new Trappers Ridge subdivision, and second, to preserve a transportation corridor 'for future connection to adjacent public roadways when the area more fully develops. At the present time, the acquired right of' way provides access to the single residence of the Trappers Ridge subdivision. Staff has received requests from the property owner from whom this right of way has been obtained to improve the right of way with a City street. The cost of constructing a street to City standard would be a minimum of $26,000. This cost will be higher if drainage requires more than a simple roadside ditch. The chief benefit of improving this segment of roadway at this time would be to provide more convenient road access to the adjacent property owners since it only serves direct access to one property. Recommendation: Staf'l' recommends that the improvement of this street be considered as an improvement that would be undertaken under Chapter 4 of City Code and State Statues 429 with the t'ull cost of' the improvements assessed to the benefiting property owners. Action: Motion to recommend to City Council that the improvement of this street be considered as an improvement that would be undertaken under Chapter 4 of City Code and State Statues 429 with the full cost of the improvements assessed to the benefiting property OWl].ers.
