Brandon Brandon Van & Storage, Inc. STAFF REPORT: This is a request by the applicant for a waiver of street improvements along Allied Way. It is associated with the completion of the requirements necessary for the processing of a final plat. Several reasons have been submitted for the request: (a) The work should have been done by the original developer as specified in his agreement with the City. (b) 65th Street is in floodplain. Proper construction should be raised and this can't be done in a piecemeal fashion. (c) The bridge to the west is narrow and should be raised and widened. When this is done, any piecemeal construction would be wasted. -(d) This portion of 65th is a major thoroughfare and should be done by the City as a capital improvement project. (e) Other developers along 65th have not been required to make improvements. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Comment is reserved until the City Engineers have had the opportunity to research the reasoning submitted for the request. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The applicant was present. The applicant was instructed to get together with Planning and Engineering to try and work out some options. The Committee felt that more information was needed on the proposal, so it was derided to pass this item to the Commission without recommendation. r December 14, 1982 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 7 - Continued PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant and his engineer were present. There were no objectors. Mr. Bob Lane of the Engineering Department, presented a report which indicated that West 65th Street has several problems relative to the 100 Year Flood elevation and bridge construction. These problems make one-half street improvements impractical at this time. The recommendation of the Engineering Department is that an in -lieu contribution divided between the various phases of development on Lot 1 be required. The Commission discussed the issue and various options, with the result that the following motion was made: "To approve the variance request for improvements on West 65th Street at this time and require the owner to contribute a total of $25,000 to an in -lieu fund, the contributions to be made in two parts of even amount when the next two building permits are issued for this site. Further, that the initial building be tied to a requirement to improve Allied Way to industrial street standards. That is, one half of a 28' pavement section with 6' shoulders and properly designed open ditch section on the west side of the street." The vote: 9 ayes, 0 nays, 1 absent and 1 open position. 1:1 December 14, 1982 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 7 NAME: I-30 Industrial Park Street Improvements Waiver LOCATION: Southwest Corner of West 65th & Allied Way APPLICANT: William A.
