change. The skyway system map shall be deemed amended by each resolution or ordinance
accepting an easement for a portion of the skyway system or accepting completed construction of
a skyway bridge. The skyway system map may be otherwise amended by resolution.
3. The general location of each part of and appurtenance to the entire planned
skywalk system
shall be shown on the "Skywalk System Plan Map," which shall be adopted by resolution of the
city council and kept on file at the office of the board and at the office of the city clerk. The
city
council must find the skywalk system plan to be financially feasible within the time frame of the
plan as part of the adoption of the skywalk system plan map.
The location of a planned portion of the skywalk system shall be within a distance
of one-quarter of a block on either side of its indicated location on the skywalk system plan map. The
skywalk system plan map shall not be amended to relocate any portion of the skyway system a
distance of more than one-quarter of the length of the block from the location shown thereon,
unless all private property interests who would have had the right of connection as a consequence
of the prior location are provided:
a. Reasonable notice of such
relocation and a hearing before the board; and
b. An alternative plan for providing such private property
interests access to the relocated
portion of the skyway system without additional cost to the city; and
c. The private property interests who shall be directly
connected to the relocated skyway
system shall agree in writing to provide the city with:
(1) Easements, at no cost to
the city, for public pedestrian travel through and over all
skywalk corridors across their private property, and
(2) Easements, at no cost to
the city or private property interests denied the right of direct
connection by relocation, for public pedestrian travel through and over all skywalk corridors
across the requesting party's private property as necessitated in the alternate plan adopted in
accordance with subsection 3b. of this section.
The skywalk system plan map shall be amended by resolution of the city council,
and such
amendments shall be recorded on the skyway system plan map together with the appropriate
resolution number and date of change. (Ord. 84/T-3053)
