Warshaw City Manager SUBJECT : Vehicular Access Restriction to NE 55 Terrace at Federal Highway REFERENCES. ENCLOSURES Resolution, Location Map The purpose of the February 9, 1999, public hearing is to hear comments and consider a Resolution authorizing the restriction of vehicular access to NE 55 Terrace at its intersection with Federal Highway. BACKGROUND NE 55 Terrace between Federal Highway and the F.E.C. Railroad tracks in the Upper Eastside neighborhood is a short, poorly developed public right-of-way that "dead - ends" at the railroad tracks. Very little vehicular and pedestrian traffic utilize this roadway where the adjacent properties are vacant on the south side and warehouses on the north side. The PSoyka's Restaurant" is current under development for the block of land on, the north and south sides of NE 55 Terrace. In order to construct the new restaurant, the owner, Mr. Mark Soyka, desires to replat and close NE 55 Terrace between Federal Highway and the F.E.C. Railroad tracks. Since the replatting process will take several months to complete, the property owner is very concerned about security, public safety and illegal dumping on NE 55 Terrace and the need for interim parking, and has requested that access to NE 55 Terrace be temporarily restricted until completion of the platting process. It is respectfully recommended that the restriction to vehicular access be implemented on a temporary basis until such time that the right of way is closed and vacated in accordance with the City Code or until such time that the Director of the Public works Department makes a finding that NE 55 Terrace should be reopened to vehicular access.
