1. Approval of the applications with an added element of timing for the sidewalk to be completed along the project's frontage prior to occupancy of the new home on Parcel A; and 2. City Council expedite work for 3520 Dennis Drive in conjunction with development of the new home on Dennis Drive. Timing requirements for constructing the sidewalk were added to condition of approval Nos. 35 and 87 in Exhibit A of Attachment 1. See the Planning Commission agenda report, Attachment 4, and the excerpted draft minutes of the July 14 Planning Commission hearing (Attachment 5) for additional information. After the Planning Commission meeting, staff connected with the property owners of 2207 and 2215 Martin Avenue to discuss whether they would consider completing the frontage improvements for 3520 Dennis Drive as a part of their improvements (subject to reimbursement of costs by the City), in order to expedite completion of the complete sidewalk connection. While the property owners are not opposed to completing the work for the neighboring property with their frontage improvements, with City reimbursement, the three separate property owners are currently doing their due diligence prior to formalizing any private agreements. If the property owners are not able to reach an agreement, staff would propose to bring the frontage modifications for 3520 Dennis Drive for City Council consideration as a CIP project in the next CIP update in 2022, subject to budget approval by City Council. SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION The subject property is a flat, 1.67 -acre site located between Martin Avenue and Dennis Drive and is developed with an approximately 6,139 -square -foot two-story home with an attached garage built in 1987 (see Figure 2).
