History Blahnik is in the process of constructing an addition to the property at 4617 Colorado Street SE. Following completion of the construction project, Blahnik Law Offices will be relocating to this property. Current Circumstances Blahnik requests City Council approval to allow the placement of a sidewalk connection to the adjacent municipal parking lot located east of their property. Under the permit, the law office will assume maintenance and liability for the sidewalk area that is on City property. The proposed location of the sidewalk is shown on Exhibit A of the attached PPUP. Conclusion The proposed sidewalk connects to a city owned municipal parking lot so in order for the property owner to utilize this location, the City Council must approve a Public Property Use Permit. The City Attorney has reviewed the attached PPUP. ISSUES: The only reason for this permit is the sidewalk which will allow clients of the business to proceed directly from the parking lot to the entrance of the business. City staff does not have concerns related to the placement of the sidewalk. As the city council is aware, the parking lot on Colarado is owned by the city and open to public use. Accordingly businesses in the immediate vicinity tend to be the primary users. There is no limit with respect to the number of stalls that such businesses may use. 2 FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Motion and Second, as part of the Consent Agenda, to approve the Resolution approving the Public Property Use Permit. 2. Motion and second to remove this item frtom the consent agenda for additional discussion. RECOMMENDED MOTION: ATTACHMENTS: Alternative No. 1. 1.
