RE: Rochester Avenue Bridge
Property Acquisition Authorization
Introduction:
This project will construct a new bridge over Ralston Creek on Rochester Avenue. Additional
sidewalk, stream bank stabilization, storm sewer and water main improvements will be made as
necessary within the project area from the east side of the new bridge to 7th Avenue. This
project is included in the capital program and permanent and temporary construction easements
are required.
History /Background:
The existing Rochester Avenue Bridge, located between Montrose Avenue and Parsons
Avenue, is a 40' x 24' I -beam bridge built in 1934 with a 5' sidewalk located on the south side.
There is an aged wood truss pedestrian bridge that accommodates pedestrian traffic on the
north side. Currently, the bridge is listed as Structurally Deficient and the bridge deck, in poor
condition, is rapidly reaching the end of its useful life. In 2010, the bridge was posted for a 20
ton weight limit and speed / gear shifting restrictions were placed on City fire trucks and buses.
Currently, the south sidewalk between the bridge and 7th Street is not contiguous and water
main breaks in this area occur frequently. Significant stream bank erosion can be observed
downstream of the bridge.
Discussion of Solution:
The Rochester Avenue Bridge project will replace the existing two lane bridge with a new bridge
to carry two lanes of traffic, widened to match the existing street width, and sidewalks on both
the north and south sides. The new bridge will be designed to meet local and state guidelines
for traffic and pedestrians, and bridge aesthetics will be improved to enhance the neighborhood
and views of the creek. New water main will be installed and the sidewalk will be extended from
the west side of the bridge to 7th Avenue as part of this project. The plans include much needed
stabilization in these areas and a hydraulic analysis of the creek has been completed to aid in
the design. The project requires 20,987 SF (0.482 Ac) of temporary construction easements and
2,469 SF (0.057 Ac) of permanent storm water and drainage easements from 12 property
owners.
Financial Impact:
The total cost of property acquisition for this project is $21,065.
Recommendation:
Staff requests authorization for property acquisition.

MEMORANDUM
Date: August 15, 2012
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Rick Fosse, Public Works Director _Wsr:�o
RE: Sidewalk Cafe Code Revisions -Cafes in the Street
Introduction
The October 2, 2012 agenda contains a resolution adopting a Sidewalk Cafe Policy that
allows for cafes in the street.
History /Background
There has been considerable discussion regarding the content and parameters of the
Sidewalk Cafe Policy. At the September 4, 2012 meeting, Council passed a resolution
that adopted a Sidewalk Cafe Policy that excluded cafes in the street pending further
discussion. At the September 18, 2012 work session, staff received the direction
necessary to prepare a revised policy to allow for cafes in the street.
Discussion of Solution
The proposed policy reflects the Council's direction regarding competing applications,
extent of cafes as they relate to the property line extended, consent of neighboring
properties and priority.
Financial Impact
The financial impact of this change will be revenue neutral. There are no proposed
changes in fees at this time. However, we expect that new fees will be proposed during
the budget process and the fees changed for use of parking spaces will be subject to
future changes in parking rates.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

SIDEWALK CAFE POLICY
(adopted Res. No. 12 -435
In addition to the policy set forth below, sidewalk cafes are governed by Section 10 -3 -3 of the
City Code, which is set forth below at the end of the policy.
Location
1. Sidewalk cafes may be located in the public right of way only in the CB -2, CB -5 and CB-
10 zones (the downtown and the commercial areas directly north and south of the downtown).
2. In City Plaza (a /k/a, the ped mall), cafes may be located in either zone 1 or zone 2 if in
conjunction with zone 1. Zone 1 is the area within ten feet (10') of the buildings. Zone 3 is the
emergency /service lane through the middle of City Plaza. Zone 2 is the remaining area. For
the specific definitions of the zones in City Plaza, see Section 10 -5 -1 of the City Code.
Usable Sidewalk Cafe Area
1. In the CB -10 zone with the exception of City Plaza, a sidewalk cafe area may not extend
onto the sidewalk in a manner that will not allow a minimum of eight feet (8') of unobstructed
walkway on the side of the cafe that is parallel to the building. The eight -foot (8') unobstructed
walkway does not apply to cafes located on the street.
2. In City Plaza, there must be a minimum of eight feet (8') of unobstructed walkway
between the side of the cafe that is parallel to the building and any public elevated planter. If a
sidewalk cafe extends into zone 2, there must be a straight, unobstructed walkway, which is at
least five feet (6) wide, through the cafe in zone 1. Said walkway shall be included within the
sidewalk cafe area and as such, shall be under the control of the establishment and subject to
the annual fee. The walkway must be delineated in such a manner that the entire cafe abuts the
building. In the event that an adjacent establishment seeks to locate an abutting sidewalk cafe
entirely in zone 1 such that said walkway would end at the abutting cafe, the cafe owner must
relocate the cafe to zone 1 within thirty (30) days of written notice from the City.
3. In the CB -2 and CB -5 zones, the minimum of eight feet (8') of unobstructed sidewalk is
not required if the existing sidewalk is less than eight feet (8') in width. If the sidewalk is less
than eight feet (8') in width, a sidewalk cafe may not extend into or encompass in any manner
the existing sidewalk and may not impede pedestrian traffic.
4. A sidewalk cafe area may not be located in street corner areas defined by building lines
extended to the street and no closer than ten feet (10') from an alley. However, a cafe may be
located between two feet (2') and ten feet (10') from an alley if the fencing located within ten feet
(10') is a type that is less than twenty percent (20 %) solid.
5. A sidewalk cafe may not extend beyond the building line extended, except for those in a
planter.
6. A sidewalk cafe serving alcohol shall be contiguous with a side of the building wherein
the establishment is located. For cafes in planters and the street, the contiguous requirement
may be satisfied by an overhead canopy at least five feet (6) wide connecting the building to the
cafe. The design of the canopy shall be approved by the City. The area underneath the canopy
shall be under the control of the establishment and is subject to the annual fee.
7. A cafe on the sidewalk that does not abut the building must be located a maximum of
three feet (3') from the curb as determined by the City.

terminated if the City determines that the right of way is needed.
3. The agreement shall include provisions for insurance, indemnification, fencing,
maintenance, including vegetation and the subsurface if applicable, and any other reasonable
provision as determined by the City Manager, or designee.
4. The agreement shall include a schematic diagram that shows that the cafe and platform,
if applicable, comply with this policy and the City Code. Except for cafes on City Plaza, the
design shall include all existing streetscape amenities and utility features (such as valves and
manholes) within eight feet (8') of the proposed cafe.
5. Except for cafes located on the street, the agreement shall be issued from February 1
through January 31. The initial agreement may be less than the one year, but shall expire on
January 31.
6. The agreement shall be recorded at the cafe owner's expense.
Fencina (For Cafes Not on the Street
1. Except during the term of the initial easement agreement and from December 1 to

be removed at the end of the day's operation, and the sidewalk cafe area shall be restored to its
normal condition as a pedestrianway.
4. The cafe owner shall be responsible for any damages to the public right of way caused
by the placement of any anchored fencing.
5. Planters with flowers and /or other vegetation are allowed as an alternative to temporary
and anchored fencing to delineate the sidewalk cafe. The design of the planters shall be
approved by the City Manager, or designee, subject to the following limitations:

inches (36 ") in height excluding plantings.
c. The planters shall be either metal or have a metal frame.

and stormwater intakes but shall not interfere with their care, maintenance or operation. Access
shall be available to the City for their care and maintenance.

5. Upon payment of the electricity fee, the cafe owner may use the City's electrical outlet
but only for lights.
Planters
1. A sidewalk cafe may encompass or utilize an elevated planter if the proposed cafe
meets the following criteria, as determined solely by the City:
a. It does not interfere with pedestrian movement.
b. It does not adversely affect drainage.
c. It does not adversely affect public or city utilities.
d. It does not adversely affect trees, shrubs or other plantings.
e. It enhances the appearance of the surrounding area, and if in City Plaza, it
enhances the use of City Plaza.
f. It does not interfere with the functionality of any other existing sidewalk cafe.
g. It is not otherwise contrary to public interest.
2. If utilizing two planters, the area between the planters shall be included in the sidewalk
cafe area but need not be delineated as such unless tables and chairs are present.
3. With the consent of the adjacent property owner and first floor tenants, if any, the cafe

electrical outlets, and to cut and restore the limestone.
5. The City may require the cafe owner to add plantings within the cafe area at the cafe
owner's cost.
6. There are a limited number of planters, and cafes in planters will entail a substantial
financial investment. In order to address these two opposing concerns, a priority system and a
lottery will be used. If a cafe owner enters into an easement agreement with the City, said cafe
owner will have priority over subsequent applicants for a cafe in the planter for the following two
cafe seasons assuming that the City continues to authorize cafes in planters. Cafe owners
need to obtain the consent of adjacent property owner(s) and first floor tenant(s) only before
entering the easement agreement for the first of the three -year, priority period. The priority is to
the individual business owner of said cafe and cannot be assigned or sold to another cafe
owner. Cafe owners with easement agreements for the 2012 cafe season will not be subject to
the lottery until February 1, 2015. The lottery for planters will be conducted in the same manner
as the lottery for cafes in the street.

compensation should the City elect to do so.
The "30% limitation" limits the number of establishments that will be allowed to operate a

platform is installed). If an applicant does not meet the March 15 deadline, staff will
notify the next applicant that it is eligible for a cafe on the street.

Keep Our Tax Dollars in Johnson County
Vote 21 YES for the JUSTICE CENTER
Safety • Security • Space
Turn the Ballot Over on November 6 & VOTE YES to Build a justice
Center attached to our historic Court House:
A Bond Referendum will be on the November 6, 2012 ballot. Voters
will be asked whether they support bonding $46.8 million to build a
Justice Center that would be attached to the current historic
courthouse. This Bond would add approximately $2.05 per month
per $100,000 of assessed value to the property tax bill of the urban
and rural residential home -owner over 20 years.
Where will the Justice Center be built and what services will it
include?
The Justice Center would be located on land behind the current
Courthouse. It would connect to the current historic Courthouse with a
single secure, accessible entrance. The Justice Center would add additiona
Courtrooms, and would house the Clerk of Court, the Sheriffs office, and
include a 243 -bed jail facility
Compelling Reasons to Support a YES VOTE:
The Johnson County courthouse and jail are outmoded and inadequate
to serve current needs.
The Johnson County Courthouse opened in 1901 when the County's
population was 24,000. Insecure conditions threaten the security of
staff, visitors and the public at large. Space deficiencies hamper public
safety and services. Our limited # of courtrooms and insufficient work
and meeting areas contributes to a backlog of cases waiting to begin.
The jail opened in 1981 with a capacity of 46 and was modified to house 9:
inmates. Average daily census of jail inmates is between 160 -200. These
inadequate jail facilities result in spending $1.3 million a year to house
inmates outside of Johnson County. Conditions of overcrowding are unsafe
for inmates and staff. The majority of inmates are persons awaiting trial
for serious offenses and probation /parole violators.

■Insecure conditions threaten staff, visitors

■Inadequate jail facilities cost taxpayers
$1.3M /year — paid to surrounding counties
■Better facilities mean improved services,

■ Space shortage is critical; average daily census

■ Design deficiencies pose threats to visitors and

What are the facts about our

■Most inmates are individuals

■Taxpayers spend $1.3M /year
