Off-street parking: Future design
efforts will evaluate ways to reduce the impacts to homes that currently rely
on driveway parking within the right-of-way. When possible, the final project
design team will look at ways to lessen impacts where possible. For example,
transitioning sidewalks with landscape strips to curbside sidewalks may be
possible in some areas.

On-street
parking: There is currently no defined on-street parking. Area residents do
sporadically use the existing right-of-way along the street for parking near
homes. Current design concepts for corridor improvements do not include future
on-street parking due to the significant property impacts it would have to current
residents.

Landscaping:
Recent public outreach has shown overall support for the conceptual landscape
strip between the road and future sidewalk. Prior to making landscaping
decisions, the project design team will need to develop a drainage plan that could
affect where a landscape strip is located as well as its needed size. Future
public input will be included as part of the final design solution.

Setbacks:
During design phase of project, County will evaluate each property relative to
the setback requirements and identify potential modifications to design (e.g.,
narrowing of landscape strip) for individual parcels. For those parcels where
setback requirements cannot be met with the new design, the right-of-way acquisition
process is required to compensate the affected property owner consistent with
state and federal laws.
