'. MR. HOLEWA: Did I hear you right - that what you're saying is that where the property owners' trees that need to be moved because of the construction - you will move them? . MR. LEONARD: Yes. MR. HOLEWA: But other than that, you don't have any plans for planting anything but sod? MR. LEONARD: That's essentially the plan at this point. There hasn't been added to the plan - let's say from 96 to Pleasant Circle, in that area - any extra plantings. I think, once you go south of Pleasant Circle, there isn't enough room to worry about. I guess there's no significant reason for that other than the fact that we did get the path now 20 feet instead of eight feet away from the curb because we were nearing that busy intersection and we had the room to do it. We kind of wanted the path out in the middle rather than leaving the wide right-of-way and plant trees. MR. HOLEWA: If the City Council has the opportunity, I would recommend that they suggest - or whatever the right word is - to the County that development along the property owners' borders be completed along with the road in that area, as opposed to a year later or something like that. - that it? MAYOR WOODBURN: If there is development along the would be developed, or finished, within that year, The grading and sodding. property, wouldn't . MR. LEONARD: What the normal operation, as I have exper- ienced with contractors in these types of projects - he's going to go out (inaudible). He's going to concentrate his thoughts on the road and he's going to put in the curb and gutter and he's going to put some blacktop between them and the storm sewer and ground and he's going to get that built. In the process of doing that, he's not going to disturb the areas out beyond that any further than he needs to, for whatever his operation is. Probably, then, the detached path is the last operation - paving operation - finishing operation - prior to the sodding - that he's going to be involved in. I guess what I'm telling you is that that's a likely occurrence - that the center of the road is going to get torn up, they're going to put in new curbs, they're going to pave this, and there's going to be a road out there - and the part right immediately behind your house is going to still be left uncompleted. On the other hand, it's probably going to be relatively undisturbed too, until he comes into that area to do his boulevard work and do his path construction, which is - as you might observe on the piece south - they haven't put in the first foot of path yet. It hasn't been started. That's the typical operation. The last thing that's going to happen is -23-
