Vacated parcel will be part of the land used in developing lots in the resubdivision of Lot 30, Conway's Subdivision. The south 25 feet of Lot 30, Conway's Subdivision Width -- 25 feet Length -- 1085.79 feet West -- undeveloped and RIA East -- single family residential and RIA North - undeveloped and RIA South - single family residential and RIA Condowa, Inc. is requesting the City to vacate the north 25 feet of an cast - west 60 -foot street right-of-way (ROW) running the full length of Lot 30, Conway's Subdivision as platted. This request is for only that portion of the ROW previously dedicated by Conway's Subdivision. It is the developer's intent to use the land area obtained to develop saleable lots within the proposed resubdivision of Lot 30 (see S-7715). The Engineering Division and the Parks and Recreation Department do not consider the 60 feet of dedicated street ROW very usable for either vehicular or pedestrian traffic from Prairie du Chien Road to Ouklown Avenue. This determination was based on the severe topographic limitations which would be encountered in the eastern portion of the dedicated ROW. School officials were contacted as to whether they perceived a need for a dedicated walkway to the Shimek School property which adjoins to the west. After studying the locution, they indicated little or no interest in any such walkway. Tho subject request is for u 25 foot strip to he vacut,+d. The Itnl:iooerinp Vivistuo's reconaaendution is to vacate ti,e entire ou-t uut NUW and dispose of the land to adjoining property owners according to established City procedures. 1.6346 -2- 0 In general, the planning staff has agreed with these findings. It is felt, however, that any recommendation for vacation should be accompanied by a recommendation to retain a 10 -foot walkway along the center of the 60 -foot ROW. According to the general requirements set forth in Chapter 9.50 of the Subdivision Code, crosswalks may be required in blocks over eight hundred (800) feet long and, if required, shall be constructed by the developer. The intent of this requirement is to assure that adequate internal pedestrian circulation will be provided in the subdivision as required in unusually long blocks. Both Buresh and Oaklawn Avenues exceed 800 feet in length and the continuation of these streets requires some provided means for pedestrian movement between them other than that which might occur through a private yard. The vacation which would have provided this internal circulation should the street have been constructed, now becomes part of the proposed subdivision. It is for this reason and Chapter 9.50 that the developer should be required to construct a sidewalk between Buresh and Onklawn Avenues. RCC0MENDATION It is the Staff's recommendation that: 1. The City vacate and dispose of 50 feet of an east -west street ROW running from Prairie du Chien Road to Oaklawn Avenue; 2. The City retain 10 feet for a walkway, and that the walkway be located in the center of the 60 -foot ROW; and 3. The City require the developer to construct a sidewalk in that portion of the dedicated walkway which runs between Buresh Avenue and Oaklawn Avenue. ATTACHMENT Location map. Approved by: Dennis R.
