Title
Discussion on Westheria Drive, Iris Circle and Narcissus Street improvement project
Body
SUMMARY:
Westheria Drive, Iris Circle and Narcissus Street are not official City Streets and do not meet current city street specification. They are shown in orange on the attached drawing. The three roads are gravel and vary in width from eight feet to eighteen feet. The total length of the streets is approximately 2,255 feet.
These streets are located in a failed subdivision (Hide-Away Hills) and were not developed as platted, planned, and approved by the Planning Commission. Council's policy has been to install all improvements in a failed subdivision through the abutment process with the property owners sharing up to 75% of the costs over a multi-year period. A resolution has been passed for an abutment project and a public hearing has been held. No decision has been made by City Council on whether to proceed or not. State law provides that an abutment project can proceed if 51% of the property owners are in favor or by vote of the City Council without property owner approval.
Councilman Souza is suggesting that the roads be maintained by the City Street Department.
