ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
On
February 6, 2006, by Roll Call No. 06-290, the City Council received, filed,
and referred to the City Manager a request from Angela Nemmers to install
sidewalks on the west side of S.E. 14th Street from E. McKinley
Avenue to Cummins Road. On August 21,
2006, by Roll Call No. 06-1711, the City Council approved a revised policy for
assessment of new sidewalk construction.
Council authorization to proceed with preliminary planning and design
for installation of sidewalks on this street is requested at this time.
It
is recommended the following procedure be used to establish the S.E. 14th
Street Sidewalk from E. McKinley Avenue to Cummins Road as follows:
1. Council authorization to proceed with
preliminary work.
2. Informational
Mailing. Upon Council approval of the
tentative program, each assessed property owner will be sent a mailing from the
City Engineer. The mailing will contain
general information about the sidewalk project and each owner's estimated
assessment.
3. Informal Council Hearings. Notice will be given to all affected
property owners so that they may have the opportunity to express their views
before the expense of right-of-way acquisition and the preparation of final
plans is incurred.
4. Decision to Proceed with Preparation
of Design Plans and Specifications.
At the Informal Council Hearing, the City Council should decide whether
any sidewalks should be deleted from the program and then direct the City
Engineer to prepare final plans on all remaining sidewalks.
5. Adoption of Resolution of Necessity. The Resolution of Necessity will be presented
to Council shortly after Informal Hearings are held.
The
proposed sidewalk on S.E. 14th Street will be assessed in accordance
with recently adopted Council policy, wherein fifty percent of the construction
cost of the sidewalk, plus an additional 10% for engineering costs, will be
assessed to abutting property owners.
