MEMORANDUM TO : City Manager FROM : City Engi neer DATE: August 7, 1978 SUBJECT: PROPOSED STREET VACATION - WEST SIDE OF MADISON STREET AT GRAND AVENUE At the July 18, 1978 Council meeting, the City Council set the place and a time of 6:OO p.m., August 15, 1978, for a public hearing on a request to vacate a portion of Madison Street right-of-way south of Grand Avenue. There were some concerns voiced that perhaps the Madison Street right-of-way may be necessary in the future to provide adequate width for turning mve- ments should this intersection ever require a traffic signal. I have reviewed the existing improvement plans as well as conditions as they exist in the field. Enclosed (Enclosure 4) is a reproduction from tax assessorls maps show- ing the various widths of Madison Street from Laguna Drive to Elm Avenue. Over 90% of Madison Street from Laguna to Grand was originally only 40 feet of right-of-way width. More recently, an additional I0-foot dedication has been required from each developing parcel (on each side of the street) in order to ultimately provide for the standard "residential col lector.'' A residential collector is a 40-foot wide roadway (curb to curb) within a 60- foot wide right-of-way. The 40-foot street width provides for on-street parking on both sides of the street and one 12-foot wide travel lane in each di rection. It has been our common practice on 40-foot wi de streets to re- strict parking in the vicinity of intersections of major streets which al- lows for striping for a left-turn pocket. Madison Street is a 6O-foot wide roadway (curb to curb) within an 80- foot wide right-of-way south of Grand Avenue. An unusual street width was created about 1957 in the vicinity of the old Mayfair Market (now Wilson's Furniture). For some unknown reason, the developer of the Mayfai r Market widened Madison which created a 49.50-foot wide roadway. No dedication of additional public right-of-way accompanied this widening. In 1970, the Post Office site was developed and the customary IO feet of additional right-of-way was required, except that at the south end a transition was provided to conform to the existing curb line adjacent to Mayfair Market. It was not until this year that this pottion of right-of-way was dedicated to the City (as part of the public improvement ordinance re- quirements for the remodeling of the market and shops). Because of the sev- eral hundred feet of existing curb and gutter along the Wi lson and Murphy properties, and because the ultimate roadway width provides 49.50 feet which is adequate for left-turn channelization, I recommended that the applicant include the "excess" right-of-way along Madison Street with the street vaca- tion request for the 20-foot wide alley. City Manager -2- August 7, 1978 Upon further evaluation, I wish to modify my recommendation. The pri- mary consideration for re-evaluation concerns the offset of the existing roadway centerlines on each side of Grand Avenue. mately 15 feet. The offset is approxi- Enclosure I shows a possible striping based on the existing roadway widths and the proposed street vacation. necessary left-turn lanes; however, there is some overlap between the left- turn lane and the opposing straight-through lane. This will work to provide the Enclosure 2 is similar to Enclosure I except that it proposes to re- locate the existing westerly curb line on Madison approximately 4-5 feet to the west. This provides for the left-turn lanes to line up with each other and eliminates the need for straight-through traffic to angle to the right whi le going through the intersection. Enclosure 2 is preferable to Enclosure I. My recommendation is to approve a street vacation of 13 feet (vice 18.84 feet) along Madison Street. In addition, we have received a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Wilson stating they are in favor of the vacation of the alley (see Enclosure 3) and I would recomnend that the alley be vacated.
