R.O.W. Recommendation and Results on the Hager Plats
Attached is the recommendation Ginn, Inc. gave on subject plat. Kevin
did a very good Job, and he and I discussed the matter at great l~ngth.
While he may have provided appropriate responses, I am concerned for the
integrity of the future and maintenance of the City's Transportation and
Street Plans (Subdivision Ordinance, etc.).
Specifically, if we have only ten (10) feet of Parkway and five (5) foot
easement, will that confine us to a condition that is undesirable?
That is, when there are inlets and/or fire hydrants, et al in the
parkway, will the pavement be protected from cutting by having enough
R.O.W. for the utilities (theirs and ours)? Or will we sometime in the
future on these narrower R.O.W.'s, have to let utilities occupy either
the medians or the corridor under our pavements? Also note when Cities
build right turn lanes, sometimes additional R.O.W. is needed at a
higher cost than when platting, etc.
If your consideration would produce anything other than what has trans-
pired to-date, then written comments should be forwarded to Taryon
Bowman on or before September 1, 1988, so that it will be timely for
advise to the City Council on the Hager Plats. Thank you.

Subject: Hager Containers Addition /
We have reviewed the preliminary/final plat and construction
plans for the above referenced project.
Per the sub-division ordinance and master thoroughfare plan,
Royal Lane is classified as a major thoroughfare and thus
requires a 110' right-of-way. A 100' right-of-way currently
exists. As a result, the staff has requested an additional 5' of
right-of-way to be dedicated along the frontage. This request
will be made to all properties fronting Royal Lane as each
property goes through the platting process.
For your information, the reason the city requires 110' of right-
of-way vs. 100' is to allow adequate width in the parkways for
City utilities, other public utilities, sidewalks and landscape
and irrigation. Experience has shown that this additional 5'
greatly reduces the chance or need to ,,stack" utilities, etc. due
to parkway width restrictions.
The other comment we have is in regards to the construction plans.
The fire lane is required per the sub-division ordinance to be 6"
of concrete (3000 psi) on a 6" lime stabilized subgrade. The
staff does not support crushed stone as an acceptable alternative
to this requirement-
