' Assistant City Manager Morad Kabiri stated at the July Council meeting Staff was directed by Council to place the Whispering Pines Project on the August agenda, project has been in the making for a number of years, and a number of concerns were raised by citizens at the last Council meeting regarding the sufficiency of right-of-way and sidewalk location. The roadway being built and as designed complies with City ordinances and regulations adopted by the current and prior City Councils. A lot of the regulation referenced by the citizen's concerns relate to the Subdivision Ordinance Section III, which clearly states that the design criteria contained in the Subdivision Ordinance applies to the subdivision of property, the roadway improvement project does not involve subdivision of land, Whispering Pinesl Avenue/Friendswood Link Road was platted in 1895 as part of the original Friendswood subdivision. The' original project called for a four-lane roadway through Whispering Pines, a small 60 foot section was going to be done as a four-lane road, and unfortunately due to the construction climate bids came in tool high, project was rebid as a three-lane facility from Hibiscus Lane across the creek to FM 518. The other, concern raised by citizens was the Design Criteria Manual in relation to the location of the sidewalks, and the manual clearly states a sidewalk is generally located five feet behind the back of the curb and two feet from the edge of the property line, manual states requirements are for new developments not retrofits, in order to provide an 80-foot right-of-way four to six houses would have to be condemned, not prudent to displace four to six families, City of Friendswood did not design the roadway or hire the engineer that designed the project, and it complies with local, state, and federal guidelines. The Whispering Pines project is not unique to the City of Friendswood, major thoroughfares FM 518 and FM 2351 collector streets located with an 80 to 100 foot right-of-way, these major thoroughfares carry far greater traffic! Whispering Pines Avenue have sidewalks four foot from the back of curb, complies with all local, state! and federal guidelines. An exhibit was shown of the Whispering Pines Avenue crossroad at completion of the fourth lane once funding is provided, a four-foot sidewalk on each side of the roadway as required anywhere else in the City, at the most narrow part of the roadway the four-foot sidewalk is still maintained, property could be condemned to allow additional space. In 1985 when Timberfield Estates subdivision was built, 16 total columns were placed on both sides of Arbren Lane and Verdun Lane ' columns were placed on the property line, innermost columns are placed in the City of Friendswood right- of-way, do not impede visibility, could be made safer, there currently is not a license agreement with the City for the columns being in the right-of-way. Staff reached out to the Homeowner's Association (HOA) at the request of Council, asked for a license agreement for the columns to remain in the right-of-way, 08/03/15 4460 HOA stated they are not interested in entering into a license agreement, City has gone out for pricing to relocate the columns, cut them down to a shorter height or remove them, and cost is estimated to be ' $2,800 to remove up to$13,000 to relocate. Discussion took place between Mayor, Council, and Staff regarding possible solutions to resolve the visibility issues the columns present at Timberfield Estates subdivision, concerns regarding visibility at Arbren Lane and Verdun Lane, consensus of Council was to encourage the Homeowner's Association to work with the City and consider entering into a license agreement with the City. **Councilmember Scott moved to approve the disposition of Bid No. 2015-13 for a construction contract to replace Lift Station No. 3 project in Annalea Subdivision and award to Peltier Brothers, LLC.
