Title
Authorize City Manager to Execute a Grant of License Permitting the Placement of Steps in the Public Right of Way in front of 144 East Laurel Street
Summary
The owners of the building at 144 East Laurel Street have an unusually high doorway threshold. To improve accessibility to the storefront, they have requested permission to construct steps, (up to two steps high), in front of the doorway. As the sidewalk abuts the building, this can be done only in the public right of way. A revocable grant of license would permit these steps over the long term without creating a permanent easement or right. The sidewalk is 10.5 feet wide at this location, the step encroachment will be less than 2.5 feet, and adjacent to the building.
