ITEM TITLE: Resolution /(J)f/~....3 Approving agreement to not protest the
formation of an improvement district for Roosevelt Street
widening ,
SUBMITTED BY: Ci ty Eng ineer ~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes_ NO-1L)
In conjunction with the conditional approval by the Design Review
Comm i t tee for development at 325 Roosevel t Street, the 0 wner is
required to enter into an agreement with the City to not oppose
the formation of a 1911 Act District or similar proceeding in the
event that such an action for the 300 block of Roosevelt Street
is initiated in the future. It is my
RECOMMENDATION: That the Council approve subject agreement and
authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement on behalf of the
City.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
In June of last year, Mr. Robert Pruitt submitted a request to
construct an 11 unit apartment house at 325 Roosevelt Street.
The Design Review Committee considered and conditionally approved
the proposal on July 17,1980. One of those conditions states
that Mr. Pruitt enter into an agreement with the City to not
oppose any 1911 Act or similar proceeding which may occur in the
future to widen the 300 block of Roosevelt Street.
Roosevelt Street is a fully improved street, however, the curb to
curb width is only 30 feet while our standard width is 36 feet
wide. This width has worked satisfactorily for many years,
however, the area is in transition from R-l to R-3 devevelopment.
We believe as more traffic is generated some solution to the
problem will need to be made. Alternatives could be to:
1. Widen the street to 36 feet curb to curb.
2. Eliminate parking on one side.
3. Make the street one-way.
Widening the street would be the most expensive by far and also
requires removal of all the parkway trees. Until a final
decision is made we recommend that new developments agree NOT to
protest any future assessment districts. Engineering staff is
planning to include this issue in our work program for next
fiscal year.
