south edge of Crescent Village, is an existing public street (an arterial street) that includes public street <br /> lighting and street trees. This public transportation facility was built without the required pedestrian <br /> transportation component —the public sidewalk. Based upon the facts of the situation, it is unfair and not <br /> sound public policy to require Arlie & Company to correct the City's previous mistake. <br /> The Crescent Village Design Team's original plan was to locate pedestrians away from the street curb <br /> and, if allowed, would have avoided the whole technical felling of existing street trees by providing a 10- <br /> foot side walk easement behind and along the Crescent Avenue north right -of -way line. The City <br /> approved tentative PUD plans showing a meandering 8 -foot wide curving public sidewalk using this 10- <br /> foot wide area. This area is already a 10 -foot wide public utility easement, however, Public Works <br /> Sidewalk Maintenance Section rejected the idea of a public sidewalk in this area for reasons that are <br /> unclear. If you can get Public Works Sidewalk Maintenance Section reviewers to reconsider a sidewalk <br /> within a public sidewalk easement, overlaying the existing public utility easement, I believe there will be <br /> more places to plant trees. <br /> If a meeting is required to help resolve these issues, especially item number 3, please lct me know as soon <br /> as possible. I can be contacted at 344 -5500 or larry@arlie.com. <br /> Sincer , <br /> <577/64 <br /> Larry eed <br /> Director of Planning and Development <br /> cc: Tom Coyle, Director of Planning and Development <br /> Kurt Corey, Director of Public Works <br />
