locations where there are some signs of pavement distress and indications that there is some questionable base present. The drainage - structures are located in Stanbridge and Patton Road intersections and also mid-block, opposite - I believe - 3061 on Patton. There are several steep drives that exist along the street. I believe they're located on the west side of the road close to Stanbridge. If the new road is constructed, we propose to have the grade of the new road slightly higher at that loca- tion to" try to provide those folks with a little flatter drive- way. There are several trees and shrubs along both sides of the right-of-way, but it is a sufficient-distance back from the road- way that we don't anticipate any problems with construction. The proposed construction on this street is again a City standard so-called seven ton residential street design. In this case, the City standard is 32 feet from face of curb to face of curb with an asphalt driving surface. The new road grades would closely match the driveways and boulevard grades to minimize any adjustments that might have to occur on those existing facilities. In this case, as we discussed in the last public hearing, we have a few corner lot situations - Lot 1 is a good example - where the shorter side faces Patton Road. In this instance we're talking about 100 feet of assessable front- age. We also have a different kind of lot showing up here, as illustrated by Lot 16, close to the corner of Patton and Brenner. This is what the City refers to as an odd lot. The definition of an odd lot is simply a lot where the length of the front yard and the length of the side or rear lot line - these two lengths differ by more than 25%. In this case, the front yard is 65 feet, the rear is 131 - they clearly differ by more than 25% and we have an odd lot. It's been the City's practice in odd lots, when determining assessable footages, to geometrically convert these to a more rectangular lot. That is simply accom- plished by taking the square feet of the lot and dividing that by the average length of the two sides. This has the effect of increasing the frontage on a pie-shaped lot, such as Lot 16 where the smaller dimension is in front. It would also have the effect of reducing the frontage in the event this lot was flipped and the smaller dimension was in the rear and there was more frontage on the street. This is done essentially to have a more equitable relationship between the assessments on the project and the useable lot area. As we mentioned earlier, Brenner Avenue is also going to be considered as an improvement project this evening and in the event both projects are approved, it would be the staff recommen- dation that the Council consider combining both of these projects for assessment purposes. MR. POPOVICH: Mayor and members of the Council, the cost of this improvement is $62,153.02. There are 1491.6 feet that is considered assessable footage. Divide those two figures and we come up with a cost of $41.67 per front foot if it were to be 100% assessed. Following the same practice as in the 2
