Recommendation
Consideration of the following Item:
The Development Services Management Group (DSMG) is asked to make a recommendation to the City Engineer for the Right-of-Way Width Reduction request from the owners of 424 Palm Trail.
Body
Background:
On December 9, 2024, the applicant reached out to City Staff to determine what Right-of-Way dedications may be required for the subject project. The applicant was informed that the required Right-of-Way width for the alley on the west side of the project was 20’. That means that the half-width of Right-of-Way for the alley is 10’ from each side. The current width of the Right-of-way is 16’ and therefore the half-width of Right-of-Way is 8’ on the west side of the subject property. A dedication of 2’ of Right-of-Way is therefore required. The owner is requesting the DSMG reduce the required Right-of-Way width from 20’ to 18’ adjacent to their property.
