limits. Mr. Singleton's property has recently had a fire and he is now looking at what his options are, in terms of rebuilding his house. To date, he has not been interested in adding sidewalks to the back of his property. He had not talked with Mr. Gonsalves recently. In the past, neither of the property owners indicated that they were in any hurry to develop their properties. They were interested in development when the Walnut Glen Estates subdivision was approved. They worked very closely with that developer to design the street pattern so that only 8' of right of way would come offoftheir properties. There are sewer and water stubs built into the street to serve their property. Mayor Pico asked, if the City wanted to complete the sidewalk on the Peterson side to cormeet all the way along Dennis to Newton, then the City would have condenm that part of two parcels of land and probably have to pay for the replacement of a barn or the value of a structure? Mr. Swirl agreed, assuming that an agreement could not be reached for either dedication or purchase. The City tries first to negotiate something. Mayor Pico asked if it were within the purview of the Council to impose as a condition that the sidewalk be extended completely down Dentils to connect to Newton, with either the City of the Petersons, or a combination, being responsible for the cost. Mr. Swirl said that could be a condition of the project. It should be clear if it were a condition for the Petersons, then they would be entitled to reimbursement. Council might find that the City would have to participate in order to acquire the property through condenmation, even if the Petersons ultimateiy are funding it. Mayor Pico said the City could potentially bear the burden of the cost of the condemnation. The City cannot condemn property for private use it must be for a public sidewalk. The City could require the Petersons to pay for that. The City could require the Petersons to advance the funds for the actual construction of the sidewalk, subject to reimbursement at a later point. Mr. Swift said this is no different from any other off-site improvement, other than the fact that Council may have to do condemnation to acquire it. Off-site improvements like this are subject to reimbursement agreements. A key would be whether the City would require an interim sidewalk, or require the permanent sidewalk to be built, which is approximately 13' in back of the existing curb. Ms. Hosterman said that in a situation where the City was able to achieve a dedication of the property running along Dennis, in front of the Singleton property and the Gonsalves property, if the Petersons were to advance the funds to make sure that the entire strip was sidewalk, how much would that cost? Is there any way of knowing how much that would cost to install that sidewalk the entire length of the roadway? Mr. Swift did not have an immediate estimate. The right of way is going to cost more than the sidewalk. Pleasanton City Council 12 09.02.03 Minutes
