PURPOSE:
City Council adopted a resolution closing a portion of South Edgeworth Street from its intersection with Spring Garden Street southward a distance of approximately 282 feet with 5 conditions. Council is being asked to modify one of those conditions.
BACKGROUND:
At the public hearing held November 18, 2014, City Council adopted Resolution 0316-14 which closed a portion of South Edgeworth Street with several conditions. One of those conditions stated the following:
“2) The following improvements shall be installed by the applicant before the street closing will become effective and within 60 days of Technical Review Committee approval:
a) A City approved turn-around shall be constructed on the terminus of Eugene Court and the roadway connection to Eugene Court shall be eliminated by removing the existing pavement from new City approved turn-around northward 50 feet; and
b) The roadway connection to Spring Garden Street shall be eliminated by installing city approved curb and gutter along Spring Garden Street and removing the existing pavement from Spring Garden Street southward 50 feet.”
Due to circumstances beyond the control of the applicant, the timing of that condition cannot be met. In addition, the City-approved turn-around required in Condition “A” and the City-approved street removal in Condition “B” are now depicted on the approved Technical Review Committee (TRC) Plan Number 2015-0171 titled “Comer-FLG Food Group.
Therefore, the applicant has requested that the condition be revised as follows:
“2) The street closing will become effective upon recordation of a public access easement and satisfactory completion of the improvements as shown on the approved Technical Review Committee (TRC) Plan Number 2015-0171 titled “Comer-FLG Food Group”. Said parking lot improvements must be completed on or before December 31, 2016.
BUDGET IMPACT:
There will be no impact on the current or future budgets.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
Accordingly, it is recommended that on November 17, 2015, the City Council consider adoption of the resolution to amend and supersede Resolution 0316-14 closing a portion of South Edgeworth Street from its intersection with Spring Garden Street southward a distance of approximately 282 feet.
