Home My WebLink About12062001 BSC Agenda Item 6 City Council Special 0 ii, October 8,2001 • Mr. Menville stated that the Sidewalk Committee has been deliberating a number of issues including proper placement of sidewalks in relation to the street and the narrowing of east-west streets in Area 9. The streets affected would be Duke, Pittsburg, Carnegie, Cason and Coronado Streets from Poor Farm Ditch to Buffalo Speedway, a total of 22 blocks. Although the Sidewalk Committee has submitted no formal recommendation regarding this matter, staff is aware that there has been some discussion about a possible delay. Providing information at this time would enable council to take action to delay bidding of the project; however, staff has no indication of the amount of delay proposed or the cost involved if bid specifications need to be re-done. Mayor Lewis asked if anyone knew what the time frame would be if the project were to be delayed. Council Member May responded that the Sidewalk Committee did not have a time frame but that the thought behind delaying the project was that the cost to delay the bidding of the project would not be as costly as issuing change orders after the project had been awarded. After a complete discussion of this item, the City Council agreed to delay bidding of this project for 30 days. A meeting will be held with the residents in the area on October 24. Matters related to goals and objectives of Boards and Commission members and the assignment of priorities. The City Council agreed on the following goals and objectives for Boards and Commissions: ZONING&PLANNING Review building setbacks (density/safety); coordinate with BSC on this topic Review Kirby corridor/periphery(one size may not fit all) Review comprehensive plan Review drainage requirements;perhaps require underground on new development; coordinate with BSC Review code to ensure compliance with recent decisions on church development ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT Communicate with ZPC concerning issues that may need to be addressed through code revisions Keep ZPC informed about the type of variances being requested BUILDING&STANDARDS Review drainage requirements and coordinate with ZPC to affect changes Revisit building quality(sheetrock thickness, lumber quality, etc.)without legislating workmanship Review building code to identify possibilities for change that would encourage retention of old stock 2 City Council Special Jn, October 8,2001 PARKS &RECREATION Review recreation programs to ensure they accommodate residents of all ages Monitor park maintenance and make recommendations to Director,P& R Review ARF development on city owned land on Braeswood YMCA feasibility use study RECYCLING& SOLID WASTE Review pay-as-you-go garbage collection;make recommendations to council Continue cardboard recycling efforts(after appropriate communications,no Wednesday pickup) Initiate recycling program in the West U parks PUBLIC SAFETY Promote citizen security Address traffic issues as they are reported Review on street parking policy Strengthen, in coordination with PD,Neighborhood Watch and customize program to meet needs of West U Address tree maintenance and consider tree replacement program in easements Address cut-through traffic Design and print traffic survey for City Currents Review speed limits FRIENDS OF WEST UNIVERSITY PARKS FUND Fund raising for YMCA ADULT SERVICES BOARD Involvement in development of YMCA Report from Board or Commission Liaisons.
