Re: Capitol Subdivision Right-of-way Requirements
Dear Keith:
D.W. BASSETT

RON TREMBLAY
DEPUTY BUILDING OFFICIAL
I fear that I may have been negligent in explaining the facts behind
my statement that an additional forty feet (40') of right-of-way was
adequate, on the Capitol Subdivision Plat, for frontage road purposes.
I would point out first that the existing right-of-way on the west
side of South Ninth Street is not a uniform width. We would not jog a
frontage road in and out to match the existing right-of-way alignment
regardless of the total right-of-way width. I feel the fifty foot
(50') requirement for frontage road in the Subdivision Regulations is
predicated on a uniform one hundred foot (100') right-of-way on the
arterial street. This regulation then calls for one hundred feet
(100') of right-of-way from the center line to accommodate street,
medians, frontage road and utilities., This width would only require
an additional seventeen feet (17') in the case of Capitol Subdivision.
However, part of this right-of-way is used for open ditch storm
drainage so the minimum of seventeen feet (17') is not adequate.
In this section of South Ninth Street,we would need one hundred twenty-
two feet (122') of right-of-way for construction and maintenance
operations. As this one hundred twenty-two feet (122') needed is in
excess of the minimum one hundred foot (100') total right-of-way required
in the Subdivision Regulations, we fail to see any justification in taking
the additional ten feet (10') of private property out of production.
