Re: Street Modification Request
Weston Heights North
SDA PROJECT NUMBER 349-007-015
Dear Jill:
This letter requests a modification of the street improvements, as tabulated in RMC 4-6-060F.2, along
Nile Avenue NE bordering address 702 Nile Avenue NE (parcel 1123059002).
The existing right-of-way width on Nile Avenue NE fronting the site is approximately 60-feet. Nile
Avenue NE is classified as a Neighborhood Collector Arterial, with two (2) existing lanes that would
require a right-of-way width of 83-feet. However, the Transportation Department has the Nile Avenue
Corridor Plan, which requires a reduced right-of-way width. We have confirmed that the centerline of
roadway and the centerline of right-of-way are coincident. Our proposal uses the Transportation
Department’s requirement for street improvements for the Nile Avenue Corridor Plan: 22-foot wide
pavement from the centerline of the road, an 8-foot planting strip behind the 0.5-foot curb and gutter,
and a 5-foot sidewalk with 1-foot clear behind walk. The proposed right-of-way corresponds with the
back of the 1-foot clear behind walk. This project dedicates 6.5-feet of right-of-way for a total half-street
right-of-way of 36.5-feet.
The above justification is believed to comply with RMC 4-9-250D, decision criteria 2.a through 2.f.
Sincerely,
SDA
