| Background: |
During subdivision development, dead end streets are often
created with the intention of extending the street through later development.
To ensure that the proposed street extension is not blocked by residential
or other development, a "street plug" is installed at the end of the street.
The street plug is a 1.0 foot wide strip of land owned in fee by the City
and is not subject to public access. If and when the street is extended,
the street plug is dedicated as street right of way, however until that happens
the street plug blocks all access to the street.
The street plug at the end of Ashland Creek Drive was created on the plat
of the Lithia Park Village Planned Unit Development in 1982 when developer
Mark Cooper indicated his intention to extend the street into a future second
phase of the subdivision. Current hillside development standards preclude
future development of this second phase and eliminates the need for extension
of Ashland Creek Drive.
The development of the existing lot (391E17AA 1101) for a single family dwelling
would have no adverse impact upon the present or future use of Ashland Creek
Drive. Granting an easement over this street plug does not change the City's
title to the property, nor preclude dedicating this for future pedestrian
or trail access.
