AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br />Prepared By: Reviewed By: DJR Approved By: DJR <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to confirm/clarify Council direction on the marking of the <br />public access in the Smith Avenue ROW to the Luce Line Trail. <br /> <br />2. Background. The 2020 streets projects are complete less a few punch list items and any necessary <br />spring restoration items. One of the items included in the project was the provision of a gravel trail in <br />Smith Avenue Right of Way connection the neighborhood to the Luce Line Trail. One remaining item <br />with respect to the trail is to place the trail head markers. Trail head marks consist of upright 4x4 posts, <br />one on each side the trail with an embedded plates to indicate the space between the posts if public and an <br />of the prohibitions, in this case motorized vehicles. This is the same method the city uses to mark Lake <br />Accesses. The abutting property owner requested the posts not be installed and has asserted this was <br />agreed to by the city. Staff has not found a written record of such an agreement. At the December 9th, <br />2019 the Council did direct that the public right of way be marked. <br /> <br />3. Staff Recommendation. I recommend that the public access trail be marked consistent with other <br />public access sites. The marking is simple, does not draw undue attention to the site but does provide <br />clear direction that the access is public and not private. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Motion to direct staff to mark trail as planned. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Inset plates for 4x4 markers Location of 4x4 trail markers <br /> <br />Item No.: 19 Date: November 9, 2020 <br />Item Description: Smith Avenue Cul-De-Sac Easement <br />Presenter: Adam T.
