<br /> <br />REQUEST FOR ACTION <br /> <br />To <br />Ci Council <br />Agenda Section <br />Administration <br />Item Description <br />Discussion of Sidewalk Connections from Deerfield 3rd <br />Addition to 193rd Avenue <br /> <br />Meeting Date <br />A st 6, 2007 <br /> <br /> <br />Administrator <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />The City Council is asked to re-affirm their earlier direction to connect the sidewalks in the <br />Deerfield 3rd Addition to 193rd Avenue via 192nd Avenue, Baldwin Street and Xavier Street. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />When the City Council awarded the contract for the reconstruction of the streets in the Deerfield <br />3rd Addition with the sidewalks included along some routes, there was direction given to look at <br />extending the sidewalks out of Deerfield 3rd Addition to connect with 193rd Avenue at three <br />locations. Those locations were 192nd Avenue, Baldwin Street, and Xavier Street (see attached <br />exhibit). Since that time, we have provided mailed notice to each of the property owners along <br />these routes and have had on-site and/or telephone discussions with several of the owners. <br />Attached is an exhibit showing the locations of the three sidewalk extensions and also a sheet with <br />notes from contacts with the property owners. <br /> <br />The extensions along 19200 Avenue and Baldwin Street will require cooperation of the abutting <br />property owners, since we will need permission to temporarily grade back onto their property <br />and/ or remove a portion of their driveway on private property and re-install it to make the grades <br />work. On Xavier Street, we still contacted the property owners but the work can be completely <br />accomplished within the existing right of way. There is, however, a section on Xavier Street near <br />193rd Avenue that we would recommend waiting until the 193rd Avenue project is constructed. <br />This is because 193rd Avenue will start at this intersection and likely require some modest lowering <br />of the roadway which could involve removing concrete sidewalk, if it were to be placed at this <br />time. <br /> <br />I will be in attendance at your August 6, 2007 meeting to briefly discuss this item with you and to <br />answer any questions. At the end of the discussion, I will be looking for direction on whether or <br />not to proceed with each of these extensions. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />.
