Title
Discussion of Tenth Street abutment
Body
SUMMARY: A potential buyer of three parcels in a “failed subdivision” portion of Tenth Street and Knights Street has requested utility extensions for the purpose of constructing multifamily housing. Per the City ordinance for Main Line Extensions (18-107), utility extensions into a failed subdivision must be handled in certain ways. The portion applicable to this request is that 51% of the properties in the area request improvement by abutment. After Staff’s review, the issue of abutment must be addressed prior to any other possible options, as required in the ordinance. Maps of the area, the properties requesting utility connections, and potential properties that would be involved in an abutment project are attached for review. These properties involved could potentially expand. City Engineering Staff has attached an estimated cost of the abutment project.
The Crossville Regional Planning Commission has recommended denying abutment. Before Staff is able to review other options with the potential buyer for developing this area, a denial of abutment is required.
Recommended Action
NECESSARY COUNCIL ACTION: approve or deny abutment
