The existing. road is generally centered on the right-of-way, as would the new section. It is in fair shape on some parts, maybe not quite so good a shape on others. There are several trees along the right-of-way. We are not going to be having to take any of those trees directly as far as them being where the curb and gutter and paving would be. There are a few that have very high root systems and until we actually get there I guess we won't know as to what may be happening to some of their roots. If we can leave the tree, we certainly propose to do that. There are a couple other bushes that would have to be relocated on the project. Most of the driveways are concrete. lVhere we don't match the old driveway with the exact elevation on the new pavement, we would be reconstructing that driveway approach, in many cases back to the right-of-way line; or the property line. That would certainly be a part of the project, part of the cost. We don't anticipate any particular problem with the driveways. The road itself has fairly typical grades and we will probably raise the centerline somewhat so that there can be what we call a crown, or the center of the road being a little higher than the gutters, so the water can run to the side (inaudible) more efficiently. There are a couple of fences that are out in the right-of-way. One particularly at this location that will have to be relocated and, I'm not sure, but there may be a little section of this fence right at this loca- tion (inaudible) but that one can be solved fairly simply. No known base problems, no known particularly bad soil under the roadways to cause unusual problems. To those of you that don't do this every day, I'm sure.this is a very new thing; to those of us who do, this is what I would call a routine re- construction. There are no special problems here that I am aware of. Pascal is probably in a little poorer condition than Clarmar is. Again, the yards along the side would match the road fairly well. There are no driveways and there are no tree problems on Pascal. Again, if this is approved, it may well be considered for improvement with the other projects that ultimately get passed. MR. POPOVICH: Mayor and members of the Council, the published cost of this improvement is $130,058.39. If it were 100% assessed, it would be $45.32 a front foot. Since this project could very well be combined with Improvement P-80-35, Brenner, which is just to the south, the total cost of this improvement, with Brenner, would be $243,580.49. The estimated front footage, at the rate we would recommend at 25% of the cost, the assessments on both streets would be $13.80 per front foot. The normal things I've said regarding assessment hearings and the interest rate and carrying charge that I said earlier apply to this project as well. MAYOR DEMOS: Are there any written statements? MR. ANDRE: There are no statements. 2
