COMMENT,.qTA TUS: ,/PRELIMINARY
1) The City Subdivision Ordinance requires a minimum right-of-way width of 50' for all
residential streets. When Shadydale Acres was originally platted and filed in November of
1959, only 30' of right-of-way was dedicated for Willow Lane, likely under the assumption
that future development to the north would dedicate any additional right-of-way. The
property to the north was developed as a school property with no access to Willow Lane.
Therefore, 20' of right-of-way would be required as part of this development. The
Engineering Department would support a dedication of a 10' street and utility easement on
the south side of Willow Lane in lieu of the right-of-way dedication. This would provide
enough room to reconstruct this street if the City ever decides to in the future.
2) Need waiver of additional right-of-way for Willow Lane on the zoning exhibit with the
stipulated 10' street easement.
