Committee Recommends Acceptance of Sidewalk Easement at 923 Folsom to Widen Shipley Street
Summary
The Land Use Committee recommended the Board accept a public sidewalk easement from 923 Folsom Acquisition LLC on Shipley Street to create a wider, ADA-compliant sidewalk; the easement offer and final inspections were completed in 2017.
The Land Use and Transportation Committee on April 2 recommended that the Board of Supervisors accept a public sidewalk easement on Shipley Street adjacent to the 923 Folsom Street development to create a wider, ADA-compliant pedestrian way.
Moses Corett of Supervisor Jane Kim’s office told the committee the easement is necessary because “Shipley Street is too narrow to be ADA compliant.” Corett said the 923 Folsom project received Planning Commission authorization on July 24, 2014, and that 923 Folsom Acquisition LLC made an irrevocable offer of the sidewalk easement on September 22, 2017. On October 26, 2017, the public works director and city engineer certified that construction met plans, specifications, city codes and standards.
Corett said the public works director recommended the Board accept the easement “in the public interest, convenience and necessity” to permit nonexclusive pedestrian passage over the specified portion of Shipley Street. Project sponsor Julian Marsh was present for questions; no members of the public spoke during the comment period on this item.
Supervisor Kim moved to forward item 3 with a positive recommendation to the Board of Supervisors; the motion carried without objection.
