• <br />TO: James E. Chandler, <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., <br />Public Works Director 1 <br />SUBJECT: West Side Subdivision - Acceptance of Private Roads, Right -of - <br />Ways and Drainage Easements <br />DATE: August 14, 2000 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />In 1995, the Board approved a 100% property owner funded special <br />assessment project to resurface private roads and improve drainage <br />in West Side Subdivision located south of 5`" Street SW east of 43rd <br />Avenue. The project was completed in 1998. The property owners <br />requested the County to assume maintenance of the private right-of- <br />ways and drainage easements at that time. Staff requested certain <br />brick above -grade headwalls in the right-of-way to be removed <br />within the 6' roadside clear zone prior to acceptance. This <br />removal work has been completed. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />The plat for West Side Subdivision recorded Nov. 8, 1974, included <br />a "certificate of dedication" that "dedicates all street and <br />drainage easements shown on this plat for the use of the property <br />owners in this subdivision, and "West Side Racquet Club", with the <br />full knowledge that the same are not dedicated to the public until <br />there is a formal acceptance of these streets and/or easements, or <br />any part thereof, by the County." Since the streets have recently <br />been resurfaced and drainage improvements completed, staff has no <br />objection to acceptance of maintenance. <br />The alternatives are as follows: <br />Alternative No. 1 <br />Accept maintenance of the road right-of-way and drainage easements <br />by approving the attached resolution. <br />Alternative No. 2 <br />Deny acceptance thereby leaving the roads and drainage private. <br />RECOM MMATIONS AND FUNDING <br />Staff recommends Alternative No. 1 whereby the attached Resolution <br />is approved. <br />AUGUST 22, 2000 <br />-93- <br />Bk 1 14 PG 719 <br />0 <br />
