INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Darcy and Coucilmembers
FROM: George A. Caravalho, City Manager
DATE: April 4, 1995
SUBJECT: SULTUS STREET BRIDGE PROPOSAL
BACKGROUND
Representatives of the Sand Canyon Oaks Public Safety Committee have requested an
opportunity to address the City Council at a study session in order to informally discuss their
concept to construct a bridge across the Sand Canyon Wash at Sultus Street. The Council and
staff have received much correspondence regarding this matter over the past few months. The
basic concept is to construct a bridge utilizing portions of right-of-way previously offered for
dedication (but not accepted) on several approved subdivision maps.. Further, the proponents
have indicated that this crossing will be 100% privately financed. This will involve considerable
expense for the design, processing and construction activities..
Prior to expending these funds and prior to submitting a formal application and paying the
required fees, the proponents would like some indication from the Council supporting this
concept and specifically, agreeing to accept the previous offers of dedication to allow for the
construction of this crossing and bridge. This request will formally be brought before the
Council at its regular April 11, 1995 meeting. At this time staff has not received any type of
formal application or moneys of deposit for review of this concept. To date no actual bridge
design or calculations have been submitted. This issue is very controversial in this area and
staff has met with both proponents and opponents of the issue. The proponents would like to
provide additional information and background to assist the Council in evaluating their request.
and staff will be available to answer any questions.
RECOMMENDATION
Refer to the April 11th City Council meeting.
