Council hears staff recommendation to defer sidewalk at 3098 Duckhorn Cove over safety concerns
Summary
City staff recommended granting a sidewalk deferral at 3098 Duckhorn Cove because the location transitions to a rural cross‑section with an 18‑inch storm outlet and 1,200 linear feet of no sidewalk to the north; council discussed park planning nearby and noted they can require a resolution of necessity later.
City staff brought forward a property owner request to defer sidewalk installation at 3098 Duckhorn Cove adjacent to Lucor Road. Nicole explained the parcel sits where Lucor Road transitions from urban curb to a rural ditch, with an 18‑inch storm outlet and roughly 1,200 linear feet without sidewalk north of the site, adjacent to the Hunts Ridge Golf Course maintenance area and planned park lands.
"Per the MOA for the Hunters Ridge Golf Course property in this area, Lucor Road would have to be upgraded to an urban cross section with curb and gutter to require them to install their sidewalk," Nicole said, summarizing staff’s review and recommendation to support the deferral. She added that the council may, at its discretion, adopt a resolution of necessity that would require sidewalk installation despite a deferral.
Council members agreed to grant the deferral in this case while noting the topic will likely return when the adjacent park project is discussed. The Mayor Pro Tem said a separate side‑path project on Lucor Road toward the bridge is already starting and may be the principal pedestrian route in that corridor.
Next steps: staff will process the deferral request consistent with council direction and may revisit sidewalk requirements as adjacent park planning advances.
