• CASE # I REPORT FROM PUBLIC WORKS By: Public Works Staff Background: The Public Works Committee met on Tuesday, June 12, 2007 and discussed the following six cases: CITIZEN INPUT Case #1 Request to Vacate a Portion of Willemite Street Background: On June 4, 2007 staff received a letter dated May 30, 2007 from Mrs. Linda Stenquist property owner at 15240 Willemite Street petitioning the City for the vacation of a cul -de -sac which was platted in 1972 as a part of the Greenland Hills subdivision but was never constructed. This street does not require a cul -de -sac since Willemite Street intersects with 152 Lane. Staff would have no objection to the vacation of a portion of the cul -de -sac. However, it will be necessary to retain at least a 66 foot right -of -way through the Willemite /152 Lane comer • alignment. In addition; the current Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) anticipates the realignment of Variolite/Uranimite Street as a collector street into the Town Center. Included in the Committee's packet is an excerpt from the CIP showing this anticipated collector Street. Since no detailed design work for this alignment has been prepared at this time, staff would point out that it may be advisable to retain the easternmost 40 feet of this dedicated right -of -way in the event that the centerline of the final alignment would shift to the section line. Motion to recommend to City Council that the cross hatched portion of the Willemite Street cul- de -sac as identified on the figure entitled "Cul -de -Sac Petitioned for Vacation" be recommended for vacation, and that staff be directed to initiate vacation procedures for this portion of right of way. The following friendly amendment was made to the motion: To recommend to City Council that the cross hatched portion of the Willemite Street cul -de -sac as identified on the figure entitled "Cul -de -Sac Petitioned for Vacation" be recommended for vacation, that staff be directed to initiate vacation procedures for this portion of right of way, and that any costs associated with the vacation would be the responsibility of the applicant. Action: t Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. —117—
