• STAFF ORIGINATOR: C.C. MEETING DATE: TOPIC: ACTION REQUIRED: BACKGROUND AGENDA ITEM 7A Tanda Gretz April 8, 2002 Second Reading: Ordinance No. 02 -02 Vacating Fox Trail, Shenandoah 2nd Addition 4/5 vote Fox Trail is shown on City maps as a 60 -foot wide stub street, approximately 171 feet in length, existing within the Shenandoah 2nd Addition, located just southeast of the intersection of Arrowhead Drive and Tomahawk Trail. Fox Trail was never actually constructed as a street, but was initially designed to provide future access to the area south of the subdivision, which was undeveloped when the Shenandoah 2nd Addition was developed. The Pineridge Addition has since developed to the south of the Shenandoah 2nd Addition, but no street was ever constructed to connect to Fox Trail. Rather, a trail in Pineridge was constructed to the south of Fox Trail. Fox Trail has subsequently become a trail corridor connecting to the Pineridge Trail, and has existed as such for several years. The trail connects Arrowhead Drive in the Shenandoah 2nd Subdivision to Hawthorne Road in the Pineridge Subdivision. In June of 2000, Rick DeGardner directed Engineering staff to survey the area in anticipation of vacating part of Fox Trail, since it was not in use as a street right - of -way. ANALYSIS Although Fox Trail technically remains a stub street, it is not needed for street purposes. Right -of -way is only needed to maintain the existing trail to Pineridge. As a result, it is the recommendation of staff that the west 20 feet and the east 20 feet of Fox Trail be vacated, leaving the center 20' feet to serve as a trail to connect to the existing trail in the Pineridge Subdivision. City Council approved the First Reading of Ordinance No. 02 -02 at the March 25, 2002 Council meeting. Approval of the Second Reading is now needed for the Ordinance to be adopted. •
