Sidewalk Variance for Wellington Pointe Third Addition Subdivision

Initiator

Department of Engineering

Recommendation

Approval is requested to authorize a variance for the Wellington Pointe Third \n \n Addition Subdivision to City Code 7.10 of the Unified Development Ordinance \n \n (UDO) requiring the installation of sidewalks as part of all residential \n \n development.

Approval

Pending

Background

City Code 7.10 of the UDO requires installation of sidewalks for all

residential subdivision with the exception of streets that do not have curb and

gutter, large lot developments that have lots that are one acre or more and

have an average lot frontage of at least 200 ft., short cul-de-sac streets or

where a separate trail system is provided.

Analysis

The original subdivision has 59 lots with 50 of those being developed prior to

UDO and without sidewalks. The remaining lots meet the minimum requirement of

one-acre lot exemption but do not have the minimum frontage requirement of 200

linear feet. Approved site plans requires sidewalks on 4 lots only. These lots

are located in a cul-de-sac where there will be no through traffic. The

developer has requested a variance to the requirement for installation of

sidewalks since these sidewalks would have random start and stop points.

Financial Considerations

There are no current expenses to the City.

Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement

The City will be responsible for maintenance at the end of the two year

warranty period.

Legal Considerations

Variances to the City Codes involving public right of way require Council

approval.

Recommendations/ Actions

Approve the resolution authorizing the variance to City Code 7.10 of the

Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) for the installation of sidewalks.
