E N D
Broadview Second Access
Parlette AnnexationWhat has changed? • Parlette has asked for reconsideration • Recitals in agreement are not operative provisions • Planning staff recommended Andre agreement because there was not an operative provision in the agreement regarding North Road, just a recital of intent • Canal Easement Route Investigated • Easement was granted for Phase III; transferability to others is in question • Location of easement likely different than location of road • Andre Agreement has not been implemented by developer • Canal Route has not been improved • Two letters sent to Ron Andre asking for work plan for canal improvements • Failure to implement the agreement raises questions regarding validity of agreement • Andre and others cooperating in seeing if North Road improvements can be made, thus not necessitating the canal improvements • Agreement has been changed • North Road improvements required prior to subdivision
What has occurred since May? • Staff met with Reclamation District regarding canal route • Copy of easement obtained • District prefers not to be in middle of issue • District prefers that traffic go to other locations, rather than along canal route • No one has asked District for permission to improve canal route • Staff met with Broadview area developers • Solutions sought for how to improve North Road with participation from various parties • Meeting planned for in two weeks to discuss options for improvement • Staff met with Broadview area residents • Solutions sought for how to reduce the impact of extending a dead-end street • City capital budget request submitted for city participation in road improvements (total: $150,000) • North Road • Broadhurst Road traffic calming
Actions Before Council • Annexation Agreement with Parlette • Revised Agreement that requires North Road improvements • Original agreement that does not require North Road improvements • Annexation Ordinance • Annexes Parlette property • Subdivision of property is NOT before council and will be subject to separate review process • Budget request is NOT before council and will be subject to budget discussions
Policy Questions • Should Broadhurst be extended to North Road as the second access for Broadview, and the canal route abandoned? • If so, should the road extension be a city road, and not a “fire exit route” as suggested in the October 11th letter from the Broadview Neighborhood Association • Note: 1) City code requires a public road as second access for over 40 lots; 2) Circulation Plan identifies public road from Broadhurst to North Road • Should the city financially participate in North Road and Broadhurst improvements?
Canal Agreement • Ron Andre secures an “Agreement and Easement for Canal Crossing” in June 1991 • Purpose of easement is for sanitary sewer system • Legal description includes a statement that the easement is to “also serve as a utilities and emergency vehicle ingress-egress easement.” • Easement does not describe that any vehicles, other than emergency vehicles, have rights to the route • Agreement requires District approval prior to any installation or construction • Location of easement is the west 20 feet of the canal right-of-way • Andre cannot assign its rights without District prior written consent
Subdivision Ordinance Amended • Following approval of Phase V and the concerns that the canal route was not adequate as a second access route, the City Commission amended the subdivision ordinance to require that the second access for 40 lots or more be through public roads • May 1997
Plan AmendmentsJune/July 1999 • Urban Growth Area amended to include land to the north and south of Broadview • Parlette, Schnibbe, etc. to north • Shipman, Clennon, etc. to south • Circulation Plan added to plan to include planned connections • Two options for second access to North Road • Internal circulation within Broadview • Access to south to Maple Street • Other circulation options throughout city
Andre Annexation AgreementMarch 2000 • Developer required to: • Dedicate to the city the tract of land at the end of Broadhurst for future road right-of-way in order to implement the city’s circulation plan adopted in 1999 • Dedication occurred as required • Improve canal access road to Fire Department standards • Improvements have not occurred • City holds minimal bond for improvements • Developer sent letter from city attorney asking developer to provide work plan and make improvements
Andre Annexation Agreement, con’t. • City required to: • Allow annexation and connection to city sewer • Allow Andre continued use of the access road along canal as temporarily meeting the requirements of the subdivision ordinance • City holds one foot reserve dedication at the end of Broadhurst tract until such time as the property to the north is improved, including roads meeting city standards
Phase 10: 17 Lots (Preliminary approval June 2006)
