TO ORDER <br /> <br />Chairperson Zimmerman called the regular meeting of the Public Works Committee to order at <br />5:58 p.m. <br /> <br />CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />There was llOl]C. <br /> <br />COMMITTEE BUSINESS <br /> <br />1) Consider Making Blue Velvet Lane a City Street <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that as an outgrowth of the discussion of the CR 116 median <br />extension this past spring, there was discussion about taking over Blue Velvet Lane as a public <br />street. Blue Velvet Lane is currently a private roadway, which straddles the common property <br />line of Blue Velvet Car Wash and the River's Bend Plaza. This roadway is 31 feet wide, has <br />concrete curb and gutter and is served with storm sewer. At the present time the pavement could <br />use a sealcoating, but is otherwise in good condition. The option of dedicating a 60-foot (or even <br />a 50 foot) right-of-way over the existing roadway would be problematic for the following <br />reasons: <br /> <br />(l) <br /> <br />The loss of area from the Blue Velvet Car Wash lot would make this property <br />substandard in a) the side yard set back, (b) the minimum lot size, and (c) the <br />percent building coverage. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/September 16, 2003 <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
