At the March 25, 2025, regular BOCC meeting staff presented <br />and outlined three (3) conceptual options for paving and associated drainage improvements along the corridor. <br />A critical concern included a utility manhole protruding in the middle of the access -way near the intersection of <br />43rd Place and 32nd Avenue. <br />Subsequently, at the April 22, 2025, regular BOCC meeting, staff provided an update with additional details <br />concerning engineering, construction schedules, estimated costs, and the potential right-of-way impacts or <br />shared access alternatives related to this privately maintained street. <br />Following a detailed survey and assessment of potential impacts to adjacent property owners, the following <br />updates were provided for Board consideration: <br />32nd Avenue (Private Road): Under proposed options require a 30 -foot right-of-way (or an easement), <br />affecting approximately 10 properties and vacant parcels along the corridor. <br />43rd Place (Private Access Easement): Proposed improvements fall within an existing 30 -foot private <br />ingress -egress easement and the County would need to acquire the land for the proposed improvement. <br />Vacant Parcel(s): County may need to purchase a vacant parcel(s) for a retention pond to help alleviate <br />flooding issues. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, Inc.
