* The standard, referencing the section and page in the book.
* Why the standard cannot be met?
* What problems are created by the varied design?
* Are public health, safety, and/or welfare problems created and how
are they addressed to correct them?

• In accordance with Sections 3.2.2(C)(6) and 3.6.5(A) and (B) of the Land Use Code a
connection to the BNRR Corridor shall be provided and in accordance with the sidewalk
connection standard detail D-4 (Design and Construction Criteria, Standards and
Specifications for Streets, Sidewalks, Alleys and Other Public Ways) easements for
sidewalk connections shall be provided on one lot and shall be 12 feet in width.
The 8.7 feet being currently provided on the plans is not adequate. The Transportation/
Engineering Department will not support the layout as shown.
It is possible to request a variance to the 12 foot requirement, see Section 1.02.01 of the
Design and Construction Criteria, Standards and Specifications for Streets, Sidewalks,
Alleys and Other Public Ways and the attached sheet for variance request requirements.
There is no guarantee that the request will be granted, but if made will be evaluated by
Engineering and Transportation Department.
In addition any curb and gutter to be placed should be placed in its ultimate location.
This will provide the least amount of disturbance for the property owner at the time the
trail is built. And the City will not pay for the cost of relocating the curb.
• A letter is needed from the ditch company indicating that the ditch lateral is abandoned or
New Mercer needs to sign the plans.
