MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: W. Calvin Horton, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Budget Ordinance Amendment for Sidewalk Improvements
DATE: January 10, 2000
Attached is a budget ordinance which would place $7,125 in the sidewalk budget for Longview Street.
DISCUSSION
In compliance with the stipulation that was part of the final approval for the Columbia Place subdivision, the Town received a check from the developer for the sum of $7,125 on December 28, 1994 as payment-in-lieu for off-site sidewalk to be constructed along Longview Street. Specifically, the stipulation stated that:
"A sidewalk shall be constructed along Clark Road south of the site to Longview Street, and along Longview Street east to Airport road. If the width of the right-of-way is insufficient for off-site sidewalk construction, the developer shall make a payment-in-lieu to the town, for sidewalk construction."
The Town has developed plans to construct drainage improvements, and a 4-foot concrete sidewalk with curb and gutter along the north side of Longview Street to Airport Road. Work on this project began in December and is expected to be completed within the next 60 days.
RECOMMENDATION
Manager's Recommendation: We recommend that the Council adopt the attached budget ordinance amendment allocating $7,125 in the Capital Improvements Fund for sidewalk improvements to Longview Street.
