10.0. PRSR 06-12-1996 A(
'Pity of MEMORANDUM
Elk/
River TO: Park and Recreation Commission
FROM: Steven B.Ach, City Planner
DATE: June 12, 1996
SUBJECT: Relocation of Dickenson Bus Garage
Driveway onto the City Trail Corridor
Dickenson Bus Garage, which is located south of County Road 1 and
immediately east of the city trail corridor is in the process of redesigning
their site to relocate an existing drainage pond to the rear of their property
and expand their existing parking lot. Along with these improvements, the
engineer working for Mr. Dickenson has requested that the City consider
allowing Dickenson to relocate the driveway into their bus facility to line up
with the existing road north of County Road 1 that will provide access to the
Lafayette Woods development. In order to accomplish this new driveway into
the Dickenson bus garage, there would have to be some encroachment into
• the trail corridor. This encroachment is approximately 10 feet of pavement
with an additional 10 to 20 feet of grading. The engineers have also
indicated that to buffer the driveway from the trail corridor, trees would be
planted along the driveway as requested by the City.
Staff is still in the process of researching whether the City can grant Mr.
Dickenson the easement to establish the driveway over the property of the
trail corridor which is owned by the City. If this can be accomplished, it
would provide for an ideal situation of having driveways align with opposing
streets to create a typical four-legged intersection. Based on the plan that
has been submitted by the engineers, it does not appear as though the
encroachment of driveway into the trail corridor would disrupt the integrity
of a future trail.
Action Requested
The Park Commission is asked to review the request by Dickenson Bus
Company as to whether a driveway could encroach into the park corridor.
