Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, recently received a request from Robert E. Falcone, asking that the City grant an encroachment easement into the north side of Lafayette Street for the installation of a set of stairs to an existing door on the south side of that building identified as 161 North Fourth Street. This building is currently being rehabilitated for commercial and residential uses and safety codes require a second means of ingress/egress to the residential portion of this building. After investigation it has been determined that the granting of the requested encroachment easement will not adversely affect the City's continued use of Lafayette Street; however, while investigating this request Transportation Division staff determined an agreement by the property owner to install reflective bollards to create a protected 4' pedestrian space adjacent to the building and to enhance the visibility of the steps for vehicular traffic would be required as a part of the approval process. A value of $500.00 was established for the granting of this encroachment easement.
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the granting of the requested encroachment easement.
Title
