STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Replacement Sidewalk at Corner of 5`~ Street and Sherry Drive
SUBMITTED BY: Robert S. Kosoy, P.E.
Director of Public Works
DATE: November 3, 2003
BACKGROUND: During the construction of the Sherry Drive Project, the existing
undersized basin at the corner of 5~' Street and Sherry Drive was
replaced with a larger standard curb inlet. To accommodate this
change and improve the turning radius, the design engineer
widened the radius. The existing sidewalk in front of the comer
property was removed, as was the sidewalk next door.
As the Core City Improvements Project came to a close, and it
was time to reconstruct the missing sidewalk on the south side of
5`~ Street, it became evident that insufficient right-of--way existed at
the comer to construct a fu114' wide sidewalk. The homeowner,
Ms. Trisha Lawrence, refused to allow the City to have the
necessary 2' to accomplish a complete transition. Therefore, the
sidewalk from 5~' Street would have a 2' +/- wide strip to connect
the proposed 5`~ Street sidewalk to the existing sidewalk on Sherry
Drive, and this would not be wide enough. If a full 4' connection
is to be made, a survey will be required and a small piece of
property will need to be obtained.
BUDGET: Remaining contingency funds on the project could be used to
partially or completely fund this work.
RECOMMENDATION: Obtain a survey and have the City Attorney order a Quick Take of
the property to construct a full width sidewalk, with condemnation
proceedings to proceed thereafter.
ATTACHMENTS: Pictures of 5~' Street and Sherry Drive, and copy of plan.
