Staff was directed <br />to work with Mr. Johnson to see that sidewalks were installed along both frontages, if <br />possible. <br /> <br />2.2 <br /> <br />In addition, Council approved a grant and business loan to Mr. Johnson for the <br />improvements needed to complete sidewalk and landscape improvements in the city right <br />of way along Lexington and Roselawn Avenues. <br /> <br />3.0 <br /> <br />PROPOSED REVISION TO GRANT <br /> <br />3.1 <br /> <br />After review, City staff determined that the sidewalk along Roselawn should not be <br />constructed in conjunction with this project because a new city pathway will be <br />constructed on the south side of Roselawn. However, the existing free standing business <br />sign must be removed from the Lexington Avenue right of way to enable the construction <br />of the sidewalk along Lexington Avenue. Due to these changes Mr. Johnson is requesting <br />an amendment to the grant to use the funds allocated to the sidewalk along Roselawn for <br />the removal of the bus' ess sign to enable the construction of the sidewalk along <br />Lexington. This ame q re est shi~ the costs but does not change the total amount <br />of funds approved of 1,40. \~ \\ IJ ~ ~'< . <br /> <br />City staff will work wit Dave Johnson to cO!)lete a revised "sources and uses <br />spreadsheet which would outline the reduced cost not to construct the sidewalk and add <br />the cost to move the business sign out ofthe right of way. <br /> <br /> <br />3.2 <br /> <br />PF#3029 - RCA (10/11/99) - Page 1 of2 <br />
