Beaudin: Commissioner Balch, just to clarify the ownership, it's actually public right -of- way where the sidewalk is shown. That would be constructed outside of the private property. Balch: So you're telling me that as a developer, I could build a sidewalk on someone else's property because it's right -of -way? Beaudin: I'm saying it's the City's land and what we're saying is that you need to complete our street and so we're not on other people's private property. We'd be developing a sidewalk on public property. Balch: So the Preserve Community Association.... the City's not the title holder, but what I hear you saying is that they deeded it as public open space? Beaudin: Once you get off of the site plan, we're actually not looking at a civil drawing, so what I would suggest is taking a look at L -1. You can see there's a very light dotted line just to the left of the line of trees and that light dotted line that moves east/west on Dublin Canyon, as you move down Dublin Canyon there's a light dotted line. It's to the left of the tree trunks —those three trees that I was calling street trees. That line actually continues, it doesn't just end and that's the public right -of -way to the left of that line. So we're suggesting that that new pedestrian walkway would be between the edge of the road and essentially the tree trunks. That could continue, and what I'm suggesting is that the Preserve Community Association —I don't know where the lot line is there. If we had to bend it at that point and have people get right along the curb edge we would if the sidewalk had to meander closer to the curb there to stay out of Preserve land. We'd want to know exactly where the right -of -way is and we'd have, just like at any other intersection, a cut in the curb where you could cross the street and get to the next sidewalk. In this case, it is across Laurel Creek Drive where the sidewalk exists. Balch: Now for a point of clarification because I'm following it a lot better and I appreciate the clarity. So, on the Preserve Community Association's land, let's call it to the east which is on the top of our map here; L -1, the sidewalk is shown as continuing, right? Beaudin: Correct. Balch: Can this developer build that sliver right there? Beaudin: What you're not looking at is a civil drawing. So the Preserve Community Association does have a corner monument but there's also public right -of -way and it would surprise me greatly if the public right -of -way disappeared at that corner. I would suggest that if we looked at a true civil drawing, the public right -of -way continues right on through there and that monument is on private property and to the left if you're going up Dublin Canyon would be public right -of -way and we would have the ability to finish that sidewalk. Balch: That's very good knowledge. Okay, let's go to this private drive if I may ask. noticed the condition requires ADA compliant sidewalks. Is a decomposed granite sidewalk ADA compliant?
