Motion to recommend to City Council that the Policy on the Construction and Maintenance of Lined Ponds be adopted for all new ponds and that the City send a notification letter of the new policy to the property owners adjacent to existing lined ponds. Action: Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. Case #5 Consider Adopting Ordinance Requiring Dedication of the Vision Triangle in City Right -of -Way Background: In 2004 Ordinance #04 -23 established a vision clearance triangle at each corner to provide adequate sight distance for vehicles entering existing street intersections. In the process of developing this ordinance it was anticipated that there would be conflicting interests between the City's concern for public safety and the desires of property owners to' landscape their properties and maintain privacy since it places restrictions on property owners for land uses that would interfere with sight lines within this area. The Public Works Committee at their March 20, 2007 meeting recommended eliminating this potential conflict on future streets by requiring that the area of the vision triangle be dedicated as right -of -way. City Council ratified this recommendation on April 10, 2007. Included in this report is an ordinance revising City Code section 9.50.30 sub2 to effect this change. Staff recommends that the attached ordinance be reviewed by the City Attorney and that. a public hearing on this ordinance be scheduled since amendments to Chapter 9 of City Code require a public hearing. The Committee questioned whether requiring additional right of way to be dedicated upon subdivision was necessary in light of the 2004 Ordinance that created restrictions on private property pursuant to sight distances at intersection. Motion to recommend to City Council that the attached ordinance requiring dedication of the vision triangle in City right -of -way be reviewed by the City Attorney and the full Council, and that a public hearing on this ordinance be scheduled. Action: Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. Case #6 Consider Renaming 167 Avenue to Here and There Avenue Background: According to the schedule in the current Capital Improvement Plan (C1P) 167 Avenue is scheduled to become a collector street which will traverse nearly three miles across the City from TH 47 to Armstrong Boulevard within the next couple of years. The final alignment of this roadway will traverse segments of City streets which currently include portions of Jaspar Street, —120—
