Mr. Swift commented the right-of-way shown does not show sidewalks, however if the <br />development generates pedestrian traffic, a sidewalk would be added and the right-of-way would <br />come from the property to the north. <br /> <br /> Ron Winter, 5506 Sunol Boulevard, representing Spencer Mortuary, said they are <br />concerned about the site involved. The design does not allow access into their property. <br /> <br /> Lewis McKinney, 11624 Jollyville Road, Austin, Texas, representing the Irby Trust, A1 <br />Kaplan, and the Zia Corporation, said his position was to coordinate the joint effort for the <br />realignment. He believes they have met all the requirements and asks for Council's support and <br />approval. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis asked for comment on Mr. Winters concerns. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said staff has been in contact with Mr. Winter and representatives for the <br />mortuary. The potential left turn pocket would be shortened, however, the new bridge is being <br />redesigned to include U-turns for entry from First Street. Staff feels confident that a driveway <br />could be constructed for the property. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver commented that he understands what staff is suggesting, but is reluctant <br />not to have a sidewalk developed in the hopes it will be developed at a later date. He does not <br />want to see the City giving up any right-of-way. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala asked staff if the City was giving up any right-of-way. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift commented the proposed design does not have sidewalks on the north side. <br />What staff is suggesting is for Council to condition this right-of-way alignment to allow for a <br />sidewalk to be added back should the development on the north side require a sidewalk. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked where staff would get the right-of-way for the sidewalks if future <br />development required them. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift commented the right-of-way would come from the property to the north. There <br />are a number of options that can be looked at. The plan is to have the major trail on the south <br />side and staff felt this would suffice. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver said that he was not objecting to staffs design. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mayor Tarvet, seconded by Ms. Ayala, to adopt Resolution 97-14, <br />approving the revised alignment and street cross-section for Del Va!!e Parkway (between <br />Stanley Boulevard/Stanley Avenue) with an amendment to the design to include the <br />sidewalk on the north side. <br /> <br /> 7 3/04/97 <br /> <br /> <br />
