To: Douglas J. Schmitz, City Manager
From: Mark Schoening, City Engineer
Prepared by: Russ Chevrette, Engineering Tech. III
Date: December 19, 2000
Subject: Street widening request for Second Street north of C Avenue
Action Requested
Authorization by the City Council to widen a short section of Second Street pursuant to Section 40
of the City Charter, and initiate a public notice.
Introduction
Section 40 of the City Charter(Major Road Expenditures)requires City Council approval of any
proposed pavement widening which would exceed a finished width of 20 feet. Following the
Council's conceptual approval, the Charter requires the City Recorder to proceed with a public
notice by notifying the abutters,the neighborhood chairperson, and publishing a notice of the
decision in the local paper. The widening may not occur unless (1) it is subsequently approved by a
majority of the voters in a city election, or(2) the election is waived. If the City receives 25 or
more objections to the widening from registered City voters within 30 days of the notice, the issue
must be placed on the ballot of the next general election. If fewer than 25 objections are received,
the election is deemed waived, and widening may proceed.
This charter provision has been in effect for 25 years,but can only recall two cases' out of may
dozens that have ever drawn enough objections to prevent or scale back a road widening project.

Background
This request results from the Development Review Commission's approval of a townhouse
development located at the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Second Street and C Avenue in
the First Addition Neighborhood, case file LU 00-0039. The site is identified on the attached
vicinity map. The project,known as Old Orchard Townhouses, involves making certain curb and
pavement improvements along the project's frontage on Second Street, and was conditioned to
obtain City Council approval to widen the street as prescribed by Section 40 of the Charter.
Existing Conditions
The attached vicinity map includes a photo of existing conditions. Second Street is a 22-foot wide
local street in a 60-foot wide right of way. There is no curbing or sidewalk along the subject
property's frontage, or along the adjacent property to the north. Off street parking occurs on a
poorly drained unimproved shoulder. There is a standard five-foot wide sidewalk farther north on
this block, and similar street and sidewalk improvements have been approved on Second Street in
front of a medical office building that will be built in the southeast quadrant of the intersection.
Proposed Widening
The developer proposes to improve the site's frontage by building a curb extension at the
intersection of Second and C, carrying the curb to the site's north property line, constructing new
sidewalk, street landscaping, and wheelchair ramp at the intersection(see attached site plan). The
proposed curb alignment will require filling in a 4-foot wide by 100-long gap between the existing
street edge and new curb, which triggers the Charter's public notice process. The street widening
was disclosed in the project's development application and the case file contains evidence that the
neighborhood supported the project.
Conclusion
Staff has reviewed the street widening proposal and finds that it will improve the parking,
pedestrian movements, and general aesthetics of this intersection. It is consistent with citywide and
neighborhood transportation plans, codes and specifications.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the widening of Second Street and direct the City
Recorder to initiate the public notice process prescribed in Section 40 of the City Charter.
