PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
Falcon Ridge Estates Subdivision, 2nd Filing, is currently being constructed. With the design of the subdivision, the sidewalk was moved further into the lots for 9 lots to improve drainage. Constructing the sidewalk further into the lots created a larger boulevard that was built up to protect the properties from large storm events.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The Council may:
- Accept the right of way easement allowing construction of boulevard sidewalk along 9 lots within Falcon Ridge 2nd Filing; or
- Do not accept the right of way easement. If an easement does not exist, the sidewalk would be located on private property without allowing public access to it.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact because the property owner is donating the sidewalk easement.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the easements for Falcon Ridge Estates Subdivision 2nd Filing.
