~ . ~~ The City eode requires that staff review assessment cost and land value of the subject area with the applicant. Staff has been e working very closely on this matter and has resolved the issue. The assessment cost to the applicant was determined by land value of adjoining properties and existing improvements within the subject area. b. "The second is the issue of transportation, in particular the loss of access and egress between Franklin Boulevard and Bean parking lot." The issue of transportation will be reviewed as part of other criteria occurring in a subsequent portion of this consideration. c. "The third issue is the disposition of previous promises from Tom Williams to the neighborhood (and also the City?) about improvement of land between the bakery and Franklin Boulevard made in connection with previous expansion of the bakery." Staff has reviewed this matter and finds that Williams Bakery is supportive of improving the landscaping on the north side of 13th Avenue west of Moss Street. However, since the land is not in its ownership, a cosponsored improvement must be agreed upon by the University, owners of the property. The bakery has indicated to staff its desire to see the triangle of land developed and landscaped'based upon an acceptable plan, property owners agreement to maintenance responsibilities and liabilities, and what portion of e the triangle west of Williams Bakery ;s to be included. ~~ny of the items above occur as conditions of approval and are therefore suoject to an approved vacation. The agreed upon assessment cost has been paid and will be held in escrow until council action on the subject proposal. Section 7.6l0(3)(a)(2): Public services, facilities, or utilities can be extended in an orderly and efficient manner. The area is presently receiving public services from existing facilities located in the subject area or adjacent public rights of way. These can be relocated or redesigned to continue providing a complete range of urban services. Existing public rights of ways in the area provide for future extension of utilities in an orderly and efficient manner. The grid-type street and alley system does not appear to be critically severed in such a manner to restrict or eliminate future service of utilities (see attached vicinity map.) Section 7.6l0(3)(a)(3): Vacation is consistent with applicable transportation plans. Moss Street and other streets and alleys south of Franklin Boulevard were dedicated as public right of way with the Amended Plat of Fairmount Subdivision. It is a grid-type layout in a north-south, east-west direction. Franklin Boulevard and Agate Street are designated as arterial rights of way. e STAFF NOTES--Planning Commission/City Council October 28, 1985 Page 3
