REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 1. STAFF REPORT Report Number: 93-568WS AGENDA SESSION DATE August 2, 1993 Report Date: 7-29-93 _ DISPOSITION Item Description: Discussion of Potential Extension of Greenwood Drive Administrator's Review/Recommendation: - No comments to supplement this report - Comments attached. Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; In mid-May of this year, the attached letter was sent to property owners fronting City-owned right-of-way along Greenwood Drive north of Sherwood Road(please see attached map) . The purpose of this letter was to give residents in that area of the City who were interested in the possibility of extending Greenwood Drive an outline of the procedures necessary for a citizen initiated improvement project. Staff has recently been working with one of the residents included on the original mailing regarding this issue. A petition has been circulated to all property owners by this resident asking for their position on the possible extension of the road - this petition is attached for your review. The attached map provides a graphic display of the affected property owners feelings on the issue. A past City Council established, by resolution, a policy which would require any citizen initiated improvement project petition to include the affirmative signatures of 100% of the potential affected property owners of the project. As you can see from the attached petition and map, this policy has not been met. The City Charter, Chapter 8, Section 8. 04 states that "All improvements to be paid for by special assessments" . . . shall be instituted by either the aforementioned petition method or a resolution adopted by a four-fifths affirmative vote of all the Council. At the request of the petitioner, Staff is bringing this item to the Council for input and direction. A decision on the need for additional signatures or, whether the Council is receptive to the idea of initiating the project by a four-fifths vote is requested. haul Harrington, City/Planner RECOMMENDATION;
