Home My WebLink AboutMASON ST. NORTH, MAJOR AMEND. - FDP - 4-97C - CORRESPONDENCE - SUBDIVISION PLATSteve Olt - Mason Street North From: Katie Moore To: Gregory Byrne Date: 6/14/04 5:13PM Subject: Mason Street North Greg - You should have received a phone call from Mickey Willis this afternoon regarding the Mason Street North project under review. He has concerns with the requirement for the Railroad to be a signator on the plat for the project (LUC Article 2, top of pg. 18). He's told me that the architect for the project has minutes from a meeting 2 1/2 years ago where John Fischbach was present wherein they were told that the Railroad would not have to sign the plans or plat, but I have no minutes from this meeting nor recollection of it. I believe we did say at one point that the Railroad would not have to sign the utility plans or site and landscape plans, but I do not think we would have told the developer that the Railroad signature on the plat was waived. He's put in the call to you to request that this requirement be waived. I'll be happy to answer any questions that you have regarding this, Katie Moore CC: Cameron Gloss; Sheri Wamhoff; Steve Olt Steve Olt 7-RR signatures_ From: Katie Moore To: mickey@masonstreetnorth.com Date: 6/15/04 10:42AM Subject: RR signatures Mickey, I just wanted to offer up the following information so that you might more fully understand what brought up my phone call to you yesterday afternoon regarding the need for the RR signature on the Mason Street North plat: I was speaking with Paul Eckman, a City Attorney, regarding what we would need from the RR regarding the water main crossing under the RR easement when he brought up this paragraph 2.2.3 C 3.e. regarding City requirements for signatures on the plat. This is the information that I then relayed to you. The Director that can waive the requirements is Greg Byrne, the Director of CPES, which includes Current and Advance Planning, and Natural Resources, but which does not include Engineering or other Transportation Services. Our Director is Don Bachman. I am not trying to put up roadblocks. I am simply trying to make sure that the project is completed correctly and that the legal rights of all parties involved are protected. Unfortunately, I have no record of the meeting you mentioned on November 26, 2001 (and can find no other staff member who does), where you state that this requirement was waived, so I have to refer the issue to the person who can waive it: Greg Byrne.

The revised elements are: I. The driveway to the parking lot between buildings B and C is increased to 22' in width from 18'. 2. The driveway to the parking lot by Cherry Street is increased to 24' in width from 20'. 3. On the parking lot by Cherry Street the two parking spaces that were immediately to the east of the entryway have been removed. The revised variance request letter to be submitted by written by Brian Shear Agreements on railroad crossings: The Project Team presented the options with and without the pedestrian crossing. The Team also mentioned that they met the Burlington Northern officials on site (together with Mike Herzig) and that the Rail Road officials were against the pedestrian crossing but informally said okay to any borings needed. After some discussion, the city manager agreed not to hold the Mason Street North Project for Rail Road crossings, i.e., not to have a signature line for Rail Roads on the drawings and not to require any boring or pedestrian crossing permits in order to sign off the final plans.
