Recommendation

• Planning staff recommends approving the proposed request.

Analysis – Basis for Recommendation• Many buildings in the CBD were built to the property line, which

gives little to no room for outside seating arrangements.

• 123 South Chadbourne Street was granted a similar resolution on December 6, 2011.

• Sidewalk standards are at least 12’ wide per Sec. 4.803 of the Zoning Ordinance. Sidewalk in front of applicant’s business is approximately 15’9” wide.

• Current sidewalk width provides a 4’ path for pedestrian passage, so ROW users not negatively impacted by request.

Analysis – Basis for Recommendation• Seating adds visual interest to the city streetscape and

provides respite from the elements given the location of the existing awning.

Staff Recommendation• Planning staff recommends approving the proposed

street abandonments subject to conditions.

OptionsIn considering this application, the Council may:• Approve the request as presented & forward it as such to

City Council;

• Modify the conditions recommended by staff believed to be more appropriate & forward it to City Council; or

• Deny the request.

Analysis- Basis for Recommendation• Segment north abandoned in 1983.

• Proposed segment not being used for traffic purposes.

• South Bryant Boulevard exceeds the minimum width for an arterial, so segment of Ben Ficklin Road is not needed in the future.

Proposed Conditions• 1. Maintain a 20' electric easement and right-of-way for

existing line. This easement area needs to be 20 feet in width, being 10 feet on each side of the centerline of the existing electric line.

• 2. Replat Lots 9-2 and abandoned right-of-way into a logical configuration that falls in line with the development standards of the Subdivision Ordinance.

• 3. Maintain a 20’ unobstructed utility easement running north and south as depicted on the plat recorded in 1983.
