PURPOSE:
To grant an encroachment agreement in City right-of-way for the concrete footing which supports a screen wall. When public or private entities request to use City right-of-way, it is required that they secure approval by City Council.
BACKGROUND:
Owner of the property, The University of Greensboro of North Carolina approached the City to allow a concrete footing in City right-of-way for supporting a screen wall at the intersection of Forest Street and Oakland Avenue - a parking lot location.
Greensboro City Charter 4.128 (c) allows City Council to grant an encroachment beyond the existing building line for erecting a structure on the City right-of-way if the encroachment will not cause a public nuisance or unreasonably interfere with the use of streets and sidewalks by the public.
Because the concrete footing is located underground, it will not cause a public nuisance and will not unreasonably interfere with the use of streets and sidewalks by the public.
This encroachment has been reviewed and approved by Engineering & Inspections, Transportation, Water Resources, and Legal.
BUDGET IMPACT:
There will be no budget impact.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
Engineering & Inspections recommends that City Council grant an encroachment for the installation of the concrete footing in City right-of-way at the intersection of Forest Street and Oakland Avenue - a parking lot location.
