Agenda Item # 2
Columbus Consolidated Government
Council Meeting

Agenda Report # 690
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Williams Road Limited Access Break
INITIATED BY: Engineering
Recommendation: Approval is requested for the relocation of the existing break
in the Limited Access along the north right-of-way of Williams Road to a point
1332.81 feet west of the Veterans Parkway right-of-way marker for the proposed
public street for the Old Town Development.
Background: The Traffic Engineering Division received site plans from Old Town
Development, requesting a change to the break in Limited Access along Williams
Road. The Old Town Development, formerly known as the Koonce Development, is
being developed as a Planned Unit Development. The proposed break in limited
access will be located between Fortson Road and Veterans Parkway. The break is
necessary to provide access to the development for east bound traffic on
Williams Road. The Department of Engineering reviewed this request and
recommends its approval.
Analysis: A drawing is attached showing the proposed location. The City has
authorized changes in the Limited Access breaks along Williams Road in the
past. The last break approved was for the construction of Builders Way. The
entrance to the Old Town Development will align with Builders Way.
Financial Considerations: There are no costs to the City beyond administrative
cost for permitting and inspections.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: There are no future fiscal impacts
beyond normal maintenance on a public street.
Legal Considerations: Council must approve the change to the Limited Access
along Williams Road.
Recommendations/ Actions: Authorize approval for the relocation of existing
break in the Limited Access along the north right-of-way of Williams Road to a
point 1332.81 feet west of the Veterans Parkway right-of-way marker for the
proposed public street for the Old Town Development.
