Mr. Zack Carlton Page 2 May 13, 2020 Another issue affecting the construction of the sidewalk on the south side of Lincoln Street is that the public utilities, including sewer and water service stubs and hydrants, have been constructed based on previously approved plans. On the north side of Lincoln Street, the sewer and water service stubs were extended 10 feet beyond the right-of-way line, which will allow for future connection to the sewer and water services without disturbing the sidewalk. On the south side of Lincoln Street, the sewer and water service stubs were only extended to the right-of-way line. The sidewalk would have to be removed and replaced when the future services are connected if the sidewalk was to be constructed on the south side of Lincoln Street. The hydrant that was constructed with a previous phase was constructed on the south side of Lincoln Street, five feet behind the curb. This hydrant would have to be relocated if a sidewalk is constructed on the south side of Lincoln Street. It is worth noting that the public utilities along Lincoln Street were only installed with Eagles Marsh Second Addition at the request of then City Engineer, Terry Maurer. The installation of the watermain along Lincoln Street was needed to improve the water system in adjacent developments to the North and Northwest of Eagles Marsh. Subsequently all of the public utilities were installed along Lincoln Street as to not create future difficulties. In addition to the public utilities, the private utilities, including the pedestals, transformers and light poles, were installed for Eagles Marsh Fourth Addition during the construction of Eagles Marsh Second Addition. These utilities may have to be relocated if a sidewalk is constructed on the south side of Lincoln Street. The sidewalk on the south side of Lincoln Street was only extended to Outlot B of Eagles Marsh Second Addition, which is approximately 170 feet west of Eagles Marsh Fourth Addition. Extension of the sidewalk on the south side of Lincoln Street would require disturbing the boulevard area and driveway of the property at 17760 Lincoln Street. Disturbing this existing property is not desirable. In our opinion, due to the issues mentioned above, constructing the sidewalk only on the north side of Lincoln Street based on previously approved plans is the most feasible and practical design.
