Council Communication

Title:	Approval of Easement off Sylvia Street
Dept:	Public Works
Date:	April 16, 2002
Submitted By:	James H. Olson
Reviewed By:	Greg Scoles, City Administrator

Synopsis:	Approval of the attached "STREET PLUG ACCESS AGREEMENT" would grant the owner of the property at 345 Clinton Street (391E4CA Taxlot 110) access the one-foot wide street plug across the north end of Sylvia Street.
Recommendation:	None.
Fiscal Impact:	It is recommended that the Council adopt a motion to sign the attached easement form granting access rights over the street plug at the north end of Sylvia Street.
Background:	In the early 1980s the Sleepy Hollow Subdivision was developed off of Oak Street. The subdivision created a northerly extension of Sylvia Street, which was intended to provide access to a future subdivision which was proposed on the property now owned by Paul Mace and Kathleen Kahle. A street plug or one foot wide reserve strip was placed across the end of the right of way to restrict access into the property except by a deeded extension of the Sylvia Street right of way. The use of street plugs is a common method to ensure that streets are extended according to the City's Transportation Plan. Because of flood issues the subdivision was never developed and the proposed streets were eliminated from the plan. Mace and Kahle now wish to build a second residence with access onto Sylvia Street and have requested this easement to allow access onto that street. Prior to construction of the residence, the applicant's will need to obtain all necessary land use approvals and building permits.
