Department Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 2026-63, designating City owned property located at the southeast corner of Caldwell Avenue and Ben Maddox Way into the public right of way system
Summary:
In March 2024, the City acquired property at the southeast corner of Ben Maddox Way and Caldwell Avenue for a temporary storm drain basin and future street right-of-way associated with the Caldwell Avenue Widening Project. With the project nearing substantial completion, a portion of the completed street improvements is located on City-owned property that must now be formally incorporated into the City’s public right-of-way system.
Background Discussion:
On March 21, 2024, Document No. 24-0012939 was recorded in connection with the Caldwell Avenue Widening Project. The document granted a portion of the property located on the southeast corner of Caldwell Avenue and Ben Maddox Way to the City of Visalia for use as a temporary on-site storm drain basin and, ultimately, portions to be dedicated as public right-of-way for street improvements.
The Caldwell Widening project is nearing substantial completion. However, portions of the improvements along Caldwell Avenue and Ben Maddox Way extend onto City-owned property that has not yet been formally incorporated into the City’s public right-of-way system.
