Site Map of Road Closure
By Minute Motion, approve a temporary, partial street closure of Larkspur Lane from
July 21, 2017 through September 1, 2017 for Hotel Paseo construction.
Executive Summary
Approval of the motion will allow for the partial closing of Larkspur Lane (as shown in
the attached site plan) to expedite the offloading of equipment and building materials
and to assist in meeting the completion schedule of November 2017.
Discussion
The 150-room Hotel Paseo is currently under construction at the northeast corner of
Larkspur Lane and Shadow Mountain Drive. The hotel expects to be open and in
operation by November 2017.
During the next phase of construction, there will be major deliveries of site work material
including heavy equipment and cranes followed by large amounts of finishes and
fixtures. In order to maintain a schedule and provide safe access during deliveries, it
will be advantageous to close Larkspur Lane to traffic from south of the entrance to The
Gardens on El Paseo continuing to Shadow Mountain Drive.
All closure equipment and fencing will be provided by the hotel developer along with a
$10,000 bond to the City should there be any damage to the street, sidewalks or
curbing.

Staff has reviewed the proposed road closure with The Gardens management and they
do not believe this will impact their business during the summer. Therefore, staff
recommends approval of the above motion.
Fiscal Analysis
There is no direct fiscal impact to the City associated with this request. West River Inc.
will be responsible for submitting a $10,000 bond to cover any costs should the road,
sidewalks or curbs be damaged during the closure.
