TO: Mayor and Councilors

SUBJECT: Gateway Road Limited Access Breaks

INITIATED BY: Department of Engineering

-------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------

Recommendation : Approve the attached resolution authorizing the relocation of

two (2) breaks in the limited access right-of-way to accommodate the proposed

commercial development along Gateway Road.

Background: The Traffic Engineering Division received a request from Mr. Ben

Billing soliciting an amendment to the limited access breaks originally

established along Gateway Road at the roadway construction stations 18+30 and

station 27+33. The request is to relocate the two (2) breaks in the limited

access right-of-way to new station 16+80 for a commercial driveway and station

24+81 for a public road.

Analysis: The Traffic Engineering Division reviewed the site plans and

recommends the approval of the proposed amendment.

Alternatives: A denial would not accommodate the proposed commercial

development.

Financial Considerations: There is no cost to the City beyond administrative

cost for permitting and inspections.

Legal Considerations: The relocation of the specified limited access breaks

requires Council approval and replatting of the property to indicate said

changes.

Actions : Approve the relocation of the two breaks in limited access

right-of-way for the Billings property along Gateway Road.
