Donna,
After speaking with Sheri about the proposed pavers along Willox, we would like to see you submit a
variance request for what exactly is proposed in the parkway and sidewalk. The variance request needs to
follow the guidelines in section 1.9.4 of LCUASS which I have attached for reference. Since the city does
not have much experience with pavers, the more information you can provide the better. We will need
proposed street cross sections, since that is technically what is being varied, showing the street cross
section and the proposed changes to the parkway and/or sidewalk. Also, any installation details of the
pavers themselves including a product spec/cut sheet showing how exactly the pavers will be installed as
well as any sub -grade details would be helpful. We would like to include Advance Planning,
Transportation Planning, and Current Planning in on the decision so if you can also provide any
streetscape details of what Willox is proposed to look like and any building elevations along Willox.
Basically, the more information we have in addition to the variance request itself the better. Engineering is
primarily concerned with how the pavers will be installed and if they will cause any harm to the street or
utilities, as well as, pedestrian safety in the parkway and sidewalk in terms of tripping hazards etc.
Hopefully this lays out what we would like to see in the variance itself, please let me know if you have any
questions as you prepare the request.
Regards,
Andrew Carney
