steep driveways. We propose the same type of action here - that is, to raise the roadway grades slightly at the steep driveways to provide them with a little flatter driveway condition. The proposed new street construction is again the City standard seven ton residential street, concrete curbs and gutters on both sides of the road, with the faces 32 feet apart and with an asphaltic concrete surface. The new roadway grades will again closely match the existing grades of the driveways except for tho'se couple steep driveways we talked about previously. There are trees and shrubs on both sides of the roadway and while the trees are set quite a way back from the edge of the street, there are, in a couple of locations, some shrubs that are just a few feet off the asphalt today. We've taken a look at those and it looks like with a little trimming they could be transplanted further back into the yards. That is our proposed action for those. There are also a couple of drainage swales. I'm not certain as to between which houses they come, but we have been careful to look at the top of the curb elevations to make sure that the drainage through those swales can still get out in the street. Again on this street we have some corner lots, which we talked about in previous hearings. We have some odd lots. Those same formulas we talked about previously govern here as well. Finally, we do have an improvement that we just passed on Patton Road and in the event Brenner is also approved, the Council may wish to give consideration to consolidating these two projects for assessment purposes. COUNCILMAN JOHNSON: I take it that lot 3065, because it's part of both improvements, will pick up the frontage on Patton and (inaudible) on Brenner. MR. DROWN: That's correct. MR. POPOVICH: Mayor and members of the Council, the total published cost of this improvement is $90,9-76.63. There are 1869.97 assessable feet according to the formula. If it was 100% assessed it would be $48.65 per front foot. Using the recommendation of only 25% being assessed, it works out to $12.16 per front foot, which again I would recommend be done over the ten year period as we discussed before. If you were to combine this improvement later - you don't have to do it tonight, you could order this improvement tonight and, of course, the assessment hearing is later - but just so you have the figures before you, based on the engineer's estimate - if you were to combine this improvement with the Patton improve- ment - the one that was just done - this one has 72% of the affected property owners and the other one was 50% plus with the gentleman that came up tonight with an additional 85 feet - you add those two improvements together and the total cost would be $153,129.65. You would then have 3361.57 assessable feet, for a total of $45.55, which works out to $11.38 per 2
