. Minutes of Counc i I Meeting December 9, 1974 Page two execute same, subject to approval of a deed from Dreyfus conveying Outlots I and H to the City and registration thereof contemporaneously with the Final Plat or before the first sale of lot in the Fourth Addition, He further reported that Dreyfus has indicated that deed I ng of the park area to the City may be economically unfeaslbie at this time, and suggested that alternate methods, assuring the City that the conveyance will take place at a later date, could be arranged. Lynden i~dicated that the Final Plat of Fourth Addition indicates a 60' Harriet Avenue right-of-way; If this width does not meet State Aid specifications, then the Final Plat should not be approved unt i I the right-of-way for Harriet Avenue has been delineated at State-Aid . specified width. Lynden referred Council to chronology of events from Minutes, corres- pondence and notes re Harriet Avenue construction. In discussion, Lund said that State Aid road width is discretionary with the community; based on whether parking is restricted on one side or not - if restricted on one side, City can approve a 60' r i ght-of-wa y ; otherwise, an 80 ' right-of-way would be requ ired. Lund stated that the original construction plans he received did not show street sections of any of the roads; plans he now has show 7-ton roads, Including Harriet Avenue. E. Holderness (Dreyfus) said that their bonding is based on 7-ton roads; he had no Indication that Dreyfus was ex pected to construct Harriet Avenue to specifications of a 9-ton State-A I d road. He said he was under the impression that eventually a State-aid road would be desirable, .and Harriet Avenue would be up-graded to State-aid spec i - ficatlons; consequently, road bu I It by Dreyfus should be wide enough to accommodate a State-a I d road, and Village would have this f I ex i b II i ty. Holderness said the adde~ cost of construction for his contractor to construct this road at 9-ton specifications, would be about $5,000; cost of which he does not feel should be pa i d solely by Dreyfus. Holderness aSked if ~~I icy for assessing "collector" street con~ction, u fties assess only equivalent of Village street cos belenee4f s ,.1 d by genera I taxes or State-a i.d fundsk.."'. collector s'reets benefit entire area, not just abutting properties. Crichton noted that delay of this road construction, and the access to County Road E, also delays construction of the Dreyfus apartments, which approval was granted subject to Dreyfus providing a solution to t~e traf- fic generated by this development by means of a road providing additional access to County Road E. Holderness Indicated Dreyfus' willi ngness to fln';'.J Ish the road at 9 ton capacity and its feeling that this should be done , now at costs provided In its paving contract, but queried as to who shou!'d , pay costs. He said that It appears that both Dreyfus and the City have "erred", and suggested that, If Dreyfus constructs the road to 9-ton State- ,aid specifications, the City could perhaps give Dreyfus Corp. creclit ill some other area. After discussion, Council requssted Attorney Lynden end Eng1 neer LUllcI . to resolve the Fourth Addition park dedication conveyance matter with Dreyfus, and Wingert moved, seconded by Olmen, that Counc i I approve the request of Dreyfus lnterstate Development Corporation for a 60-day extension of time for approval of the Final Plat of Hunters Park Fourth Addition.
