Title
Discussion and Possible Action Regarding the Approval of a Parklet Application Located at 126 North Main Street (Addendum to Agenda)
Requested Action
Approval of the Parklet Application for 126 North Main Street
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the Parklet Application for 126 North Main Street
Description/History
In an effort to increase activity in Mansfield's Historic Downtown, staff contracted with Halff & Associates to complete a downtown study. The results of these efforts was the creation of the Downtown Development Strategies. In response to one of the outlined strategies staff created the Pilot Parklet Program. The development of this program aligns with the identified need to make Streetscape Improvements, which increase the aesthetic of Historic Downtown, while also providing more open space to the public.
Justification
Staff has reviewed the proposed parklet for compliance with the guidelines of the Pilot Parklet Program. The parklet substantially conforms to all requirements of the guidelines. At the time of construction staff will complete a final inspection to ensure the parklet is designed and installed per the regulations set forth in the guidelines.
