St. Thomas Church, located at the corner of Colton Boulevard and Woody Drive, constructed an addition this past summer.  With the addition, they constructed a traffic pull out on Colton to drop people off at the church.  The sidewalk was constructed around the pull out on private property with the condition that a sidewalk easement be established.

The Council may:

• Accept the sidewalk easement; or
• Do not accept the sidewalk easement.  If an easement does not exist, the church will be required to construct additional sidewalk along Colton Boulevard.  The grades may make this difficult.

There is no financial impact because the property owner is donating the sidewalk easement. 

Staff recommends that the City Council accept the sidewalk easement from St Thomas Church.
