The property owner of Lot 4, Block 3 of Weil Subdivision is currently constructing a new commercial building.  It was determined that construction of sidewalk along Weil Street is required for the construction of the new building.  To match existing sidewalk directly to the north of the property, the owner is electing to construct boulevard-style walk.  However, there is not wide enough right of way to accomplish this.  The owner is granting the city a sidewalk easement where the boulevard-style walk will be constructed.

Council may:

• Approve the sidewalk easement; or
• Do not approve the sidewalk, which would require the developer to construct curbwalk.

There is no significant financial impact with acceptance of this sidewalk easement.

Staff recommends that council approve a sidewalk easement for the property located on Lot 4, Block 3 of Weil Subdivision.
