Title
Resolution No. 19-06, Revocable Permanent Obstruction in the Public Right-of-Way, Tax Lot 2-2E-32BB-02801 (1102 14th St)
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 19-06, a Revocable Permanent Obstruction in the Public Right-of-Way, for Tax Lot 2-2E-32BB-02801 (1102 14th St).
BACKGROUND:
The applicant proposes two retaining walls (permanent obstructions) in the right-of-way adjacent to his property frontage on 14th St. The purpose of the walls is twofold: 1) to ease maintenance of vegetation on the slope at this frontage, which is from 6 to 10 feet tall over an approximate 16-foot width from the top to the bottom of the slope; and, 2) to add stability to the slope, the top of which is near to the home.
The face of this wall will be at least 7 feet from the current edge-of-pavement, allowing for a future constrained street section sidewalk should one be required in the future. Staff also established that the current right-of-way and existing pavement width on 14th St is adequate per our local street standard and future roadway dedication is not necessary.
