ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and Director of Public Works with a Request to ACCEPT a DEDICATION DEED from LISA M HINDS, to Add 473 Square Feet to a Public Walkway on WEST WILLOW WOOD DRIVE, to Include an Existing Sidewalk Partially Constructed Outside the Dedicated Right-of-Way Between Lot 10 (1734 WEST WILLOW WOOD DRIVE) and Lot 11 (1802 WEST WILLOW WOOD DRIVE). (Council District 5)
Body
BACKGROUND: The subdivision plat for Willow Knolls Subdivision includes a six-foot-wide strip of right-of-way between Lots 10 and 11 dedicated to the City for a public sidewalk. When the sidewalk was constructed, it was partially built on Lot 10. In order to remove liability of this public sidewalk from the property owner and to locate the existing sidewalk entirely in the public way, the property owner is asking to dedicate the area containing the sidewalk as public right-of-way.
The attached plat of dedication shows the property to be dedicated along the west property line of Lot 10 (1734 W Willow Wood Drive).
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS: None.
IMPACT IF APPROVED: The Dedication Deed will be recorded with the County, and the sidewalk will be located on public right-of-way as was originally intended on the subdivision plat.
IMPACT IF DENIED: The sidewalk would remain on private property, which is inconsistent with the intent of the original subdivision plat, and it could place unintended liability on the property owner.
ALTERNATIVES: NA
EEO CERTIFICATION NUMBER: NA
