• • 12. Dedication and Improvements: • Right -of -Way : - 13th Street S.W.: Presently, there is 30' of right-of-way existing for 13th Street S.W., with the county Thoroughfare Plan requiring an ultimate width of 90'. To create the 60' minimum local road right-of-way width, the applicant will dedicate 30' to the county, without compensation. The local road right-of-way needs to be dedicated prior to or via final plat approval. The plan accommodates acquisition of the additional 30' for the Thoroughfare Plan right-of-way. This additional 30' of right-of-way will be acquired outside of the development review process. - 31st Avenue S.W.: Presently there is 35' of right-of-way for 31St Avenue S W., which is a local road requiring 60' of right-of-way. The applicant is dedicating an additional 25', without compensation, to create the minimum 60' of local road right-of-way. The additional 25' of right-of-way will need to be dedicated prior to or via the final plat • Paving 13`h Street S. W : Since access to 13th Street S.W. is required, the applicant must pave 13th Street S.W. from the nearest paved public road (27th Avenue S.W.) to the project's 13th Street S.W. entrance and escrow his fairshare for paving the remainder. The applicant has been working with Public Works to design the improvement, and had proposed paving past the project entrance to 315t Avenue S.W. At the Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing, however, residents from Grovenor Estates objected to the paving of 13th Street S.W. to 31st Avenue S W. Consequently, the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation calls for the applicant to pave 13th Street S.W from 27th Avenue S.W. to the project entrance and escrow the cost of paving the remainder of 13th Street S.W. to 31st Avenue S.W. Since the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, staff has modified its recommendation to be consistent with the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation. The paving of 13th Street S.W. from 27th Avenue S.W. to the project entrance and the escrow of funds must be complete prior to the issuance of a certificate of completion for the subdivision. • Paving 3151 Avenue S.W. Since 31st Avenue S.W. is a half street that the applicant is not proposing to access, the LDRs do not require paving or the escrow of the applicant's fairshare of the paving cost. Through the PD process, however, the Board of County Commissioners has the authority to require the developer to provide for all or part of the paving of 31st Avenue S.W. As part of the PD development review process, staff infolnied the developer that he would be responsible for escrowing his fairshare of the cost of paving of 31st Avenue S.W. As an alternative, the applicant proposed to enter into a developer's agreement to provide for the paving of 31st Avenue S.W. At the Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing, area residents strenuously objected to the paving of 31st Avenue S W Because of those objections, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners not require the paving or escrow for paving of 31st Avenue, S.W Staff has since changed its recommendation to correspond to the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation. Staff's initial proposal to require the applicant to pave 31st Avenue S.W. or escrow his fairshare of the paving did not relate to Ansley Park residents using 31st Avenue S.W. It is not anticipated that any project tnps will use that roadway. Instead staff's rationale was that, through an escrow condition, the applicant could be required to pay his proportionate share of the cost of paving. If the Ansley Park project is approved as proposed with no project access from 31st Avenue S.W., there would be no opportunity in the future to get a JULY 16, 2002 -33-
