HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - April 6, 1994 (63),� OR CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION AGENDA TITLE: Request for Sidewalk Replacement and Other Improvements in the 500 Block of East Oak Street MEETING DATE: April 6, 1994 PREPARED BY: Public Works Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council discuss the request for sidewalk replacement and other improvements in the 500 block of East Oak Street and take appropriate action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The attached letter from Mr. Christopher Kosta (Exhibit A) requests that the City Council consider the installation of additional improvements in the 500 block of East Oak Street over and above those improvements which were already planned fronting 501 East Oak Street and a portion of 505 East Oak Street. The attached Exhibit B shows the northeast comer of Oak and Garfield streets. The City's plan was to construct a new return with handicap ramp and side -inlet catch basin and to replace approximately 77 lineal feet of sidewalk fronting 501 and 505 East Oak Street. The sidewalk is being replaced under the City's Sidewalk Replacement Program due to the vertical offsets caused by the Magnolia and Liquid Amber trees in the area. The City is installing a catch basin at this comer to pick up a portion of the surface water which presently flows from Cherokee Lane westerly down Oak Street and then northerly down Garfield to a catch basin at Pine Street. The following is a discussion of each of Mr. Kosta's requests: Replace all sidewalk - Mr. Kosta is requesting that the sidewalk in front of his property at 509 East Oak Street and 20 feet of the sidewalk in front of 505 East Oak Street be replaced. This would then provide for all new sidewalk from Garfield Street to Cherokee Lane. The City's policy on curb, gutter and sidewalk repair is attached as Exhibit C. Under this policy, the City will only replace sidewalk when the vertical offset is greater than 1 1/2 inches. Sidewalk displacements of 3/4 inch to 1 1/2 inches are handled with temporary patching. The additional sidewalk which Mr. Kosta is requesting be replaced has no vertical offsets but does have minor cracking. This sidewalk does not meet the policy for replacement nor does it even require temporary patching. This sidewalk is safe and usable in its present condition. APPROVES -._-.I �%1 ✓` i . `lel------ ---- --- ... --- -- THOMAS A PETERSON cc w.a caDn, City Manager CC I OAKSTSw4 DOC 3,741g4 j Request for Sidewalk Replacement and Other Improvements in the 500 Block of East Oak Street April 6, 1994 Page 2 The existing sidewalk fronting 501, 505 and 509 East Oak Street is 6 feet in width. Any replacement sidewalk would go back in at the City's standard 5 -foot width. If the City were to replace the older sidewalk fronting 505 and 509 East Oak Street, it would be recommended that the 18 -foot section of newer sidewalk fronting 505 East Oak Street also be removed and replaced to the 5 -foot width. The cost of this sidewalk replacement for these two parcels is as follows: 509 East Oak 505 East Oak $1,400 $1,100 Since this older sidewalk does not meet the City's policy for replacement, it is recommended that this request not be granted. With the removal of the Liquid Amber trees fronting Mr. Kosta's property, his existing sidewalk should remain safe and usable for many years. 2. Add storm drain connection at Garfield and Oak - The City will be adding a catch basin at this location and tying it into the existing 24 -inch storm drain in Garfield. 3. Replace curb from Garfield to 509 East Oak Street - Exhibit D shows the profile of the flow line in the curb and gutter fronting 501, 505 and 509 East Oak Street. Installing the curb and gutter and a catch basin at the comer of Garfield and Oak will appreciably reduce the flooding fronting 509 East Oak Street. The minor deviations in the flow line grade fronting 505 and 509 East Oak Street do not warrant the removal and replacement of the curb and gutter. The flow line of the nes: catch basin at the comer is being set so that if this curb and gutter needs to be replaced in the future, sufficient grade exists in order to increase the slope in the new flow line. 4. Removal and replanting of trees - The City will be removing the Liquid Amber trees fronting 509 East Oak Street and will provide for replanting under the City's 1995 spring Tree Planting Program.

The City, as part of its 1995 Spring Tree Planting Program, will replant more appropriate trees in the parkway. The City Council did not approve your request for the sidewalk replacement fronting your property nor did they approve any additional curb and gutter replacement on the north side of the 500 block of East Oak Street. As pointed out in our Council Communication, the installation of the catch basin, and the replacement of the curb and gutter around the comer curb return, will appreciably reduce the flooding and the water standing in the curb and gutter fronting your parcel and the property to the west of your parcel. If you have any stions concerning this Council action, please contact me. ack . Ronsko ubli Works Director JLR/lm / cc: City Clerk OAKSTS02DOC
