MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 26, 1998
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners
FROM: James W. Shira, P.E., City Engineer/Utilities Director
SUBJECT: Melva Street Closure
We tried several alternatives to provide a turnaround at the end of Melva Street. A cul-de-sac
that meets the city's criteria, such as would be required of any developer, does not fit without
taking down an existing home This is shown on attachment"A".
The largest cul-de-sac that will fit without affecting more than one property is shown on
attachment"B". The 35 foot radius provided by this cul-de-sac is not sufficient for turning large
trucks such as fire and garbage collection trucks. Both of these types of vehicle would still have
to back down the street to get back to Flewelling.
A hammerhead turn is shown on attachment"C". This is similar to the one installed in Silver
Glen subdivision, and would allow large trucks to reverse direction at the end of Melva Street.
We contacted the owner of the property at the northeast end of Melva Street to see if he would
donate the required property to the city. He was not interested in a donation, but said he might
consider selling the property if the price was acceptable.
An appraisal of this parcel will cost approximately $2,500.00, and would be charged to the
Contingency account. Please advise whether to proceed with ordering an appraisal.
