Cost of insurance and barricading is paid by the residents. No cost to the City. DESCRIPTION: The City has received a request from Richard Heller to close Burton Street from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 4, 1992, for a block party. This request is similar to that received in prior years from the residents of this Street. The typical conditions for this type of request are that the residents obtain an encroachment permit, either purchase special event insurance through the City or provide an insurance certificate from individual homeowners' policies, and provide lighted barricades which are to be monitored at all times. Other conditions relate to litter cleanup and use of alcohol by adults only. Burton Street is a short connector between Amador Valley Boulevard and Tamarack Drive. Its closure would primarily affect the residents of the street itself. Drivers wishing to access Tamarack Drive from Amador Valley Boulevard or vice versa would be able to use Brighton Drive approximately two blocks to the east or Emerald Avenue approximately two blocks to the west. Copies of this Staff report have been sent to the residents of the street. Staff recommends that the City Council review the request and approve issuance of the encroachment permit, once the residents have obtained the insurance. a: (corres) \3une\ags~bur¢ ITEM NO. ~ COPIES TO: Residents, Burton Street t Mr. Paul Rankin Assistant City Mananger City of Dublin 100 Civic Plaza Dr. Dublin CA. 94568 RE: Request to Close Burton Street on July 4, 1992 June 3, 1992 Dear Mr. Rankin- On July 4, 1992 we wish to close Burton Street between Tamarack Drive and Amador Valley Boulevard, restricting vehicular traffic, from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm.
