Sidewalk Variance- 6970 Jamesson Way

Initiator

Department of Engineering

Recommendation

Authorize a variance to City Code Section 7.10.1 for the development at 6970 \n \n Jamesson Way to allow the sidewalk construction be delayed until sidewalk is \n \n extended into the area.

Approval

Pending

Background

Fuller Fire & Safety is constructing a new facility at the intersection of

Jamesson Road and Jamesson Way. Jamesson Road and Flat Rock Road was

constructed as rural roads with open ditches and no curb and gutter. Section

7.10.1 of the UDO exempts sidewalk on developments with rural road designs

thus there was no sidewalk installed on Jamesson Road. Jamesson Way is a

cul-de-sac that is an urban design, curb and gutter, street off Jamesson Road.

Analysis

With no sidewalk along Jamesson Road or Flat Rock Road there would be no

connectivity for this site. The closest sidewalk is approximately 1800 ft.

from the site at the McDonald's location which has sidewalk only along its

frontage on Flat Rock Court.

Financial Considerations

There are no financial impacts to the City.

Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement

If sidewalk were installed, the Department of Public Works would take over

maintenance after the initial installation.

Legal Considerations

A variance to the City Ordinances involving right of way requires Council

approval.

Recommendations/ Actions

Authorize a variance to City Code Section 7.10.1 for the development at 6970

Jamesson Way to allow the sidewalk construction be delayed until sidewalk is

extended into the area.
