07 pn TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator D SION HEAD CONCURRENCE: Robert M. Keating, AIC Community Development Director A .A - THROUGH: Stan Boling, AICP Planning Director, Current Development FROM: John McCoy, AICP �� V\ Senior Planner, Current Development DATE: November 2, 1998 SUBJECT: Request For Abandonment of Portions of 10t° Street Between 37`h Avenue and 41" Avenue It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of November 10, 1998. A petition has been submitted to abandon segments of 10" Street between 3r and 4111 Avenues. The right-of-way segments are located between a portion of Malaluka Gardens (platted in 1955) and the newly platted Laurel's Subdivision (see attachment #2). Both developments and the adjacent area are zoned for and developed as single-family lots. The subject right-of-way segments are 35' wide "half -street" right-of-way segments and are located immediately south of Malaluka Gardens lots. This right-of-way abandonment request evolved during the recent, review and approval of the Laurels Subdivision phases III and IV final plat. Since the subject portions of 101 Street do not provide the sole direct access to any adjacent lots, do not provide access to the Laurels Subdivision, are substandard in width and are unpaved, these segments are candidates for abandonment. The referenced segments of 10'h Street right-of-way were created and "constructed" as an unpaved half -street in 1955 via approval of the Malaluka Gardens plat and corresponding development. Though the plat, a 35' wide half street right-of-way was established between 37th and 43nd Avenues. The unpaved roadway was dedicated to and is maintained by the county. East of 37t1 Avenue, 10t, Street is a full street and is used by area residents, with some residents directly accessing 10`h Street from their driveways. Presently, the subject portion of 10' Street functions as an unpaved east/west local road. Staff has been contacted by local residents who have expressed both opposition and support for the proposed abandonment. Located to the south of and contiguous to l0U' Street, the Laurels Subdivision was originally approved to connect to 101 Street, provide 25' of right-of-way to convert the subject segment of 10th Street from a half -street to a full street, and pave 10t1 Street from 37th Avenue to the subdivision's November 10, 1998 24 0 40
