is well more than the typical residential street. The require- ment the state has as well - unless you want to have a 44 foot wide street - which we don't think you want - is that parking would have to be prohibited on one side of the street. That means that one side would still have parking on it and the other side wouldn't. Our recommendation is that if parking is going to be prohibited that it would be on the side where the mailboxes are, so that the mailman could still get to the mailboxes and deliver, where the fire hydrants are so that the fire trucks can reach the hydrants, and where most of the driveways are because this would provide for a little safer entrance and exit out of these driveways on the north side. So our recommendation is that that would be the side that would not have parking. The grades near Western could stand some improvement and if the project is approved, we're going to look at the possi- bility of providing a little safer stopping area just as you come to that stop sign on Western. We might have to alter the grades slightly and to do this we may have to slightly adjust the road off the centerline to minimize any impact into those homes near that intersection. We also anticipate - Recause of the larger traffic on Rice Street and the fact that a fair number of people want to turn left and go north and many people want to turn right - rather than have one car backed up (inaudible) we would have both a slot for the people that want to turn left to be in and another slot for the people that want to turn right. We feel that this is where any delays may occur and it will be that much easier for people to make the turns in either direction they want to. You very well may be having some more questions and I'll be happy to answer those, but one of the key things is that there are no assessments on the single family lots along that roadway. MR. POPOVICH: The total estimated cost of this improvement is $267,569.10. If it was 100% assessed, it would be $91.04 per front foot and $31.86 based on the 35% approach for the residential - or R-3 property. There would be nothing for the other single family property. The other comme~s I made earlier would apply here also. ACTING MAYOR JOHNSON: So it's $31.86 . MR. POPOVICH: For just that portion where the apartments are. ACTING MAYOR JOHNSON: Other than that, there's no assessment. Are there any written statements? MR. ANDRE: There are no letters. ACTING MAYOR JOHNSON: We're talking about County Road C-2. Anybody care to speak to this project? WOMAN IN AUDIENCE: I really just want to ask a question - I came opposed to the widening, but as it seems to be a -3-
