MR. HONCHELL: I anticipate that the project would be able to progress rapidly enough in 1983 that it would be at the assessment stage probably by August of 1983. MR. ANDRE: That may not mean it will be completed, but sufficiently far enough along to hold the assessment hearing. COUNCILMAN FRANKE: One of the individuals asked about trees on this project. Have you made any determination as to how many trees she's not going to get to look at anymore? MR. HONCHELL: As many as ten trees. I believe that's the number we have. Once you go to construction, of course, you have to kind of take them as they come and deal with each tree as you encounter it. There are a number of trees across the street, directly beside the existing pavement, that would have to be removed as part of the construction. As I indicated in my presentation, fortunately there is a number of smaller trees there, behind them on the slope, that would be able to remain and provide screening to the industrial area. MR. JEFF ZAPPA, 2369 Fulham Street: Can you tell us how mucn of our current front yards will disappear? MR. HONCHELL: I guess it depends on how you define "front yard". If you talk about how much area is green out beside the pavement and is going to disappear - it's probably around five feet. If you talk about how much of your front yard that you own, it will be none. There's 66 feet of right-of-way along that roadway and we don't anticipate having to take any permanent easements on the project. MR. ZAPPA: Is it possible to discuss and finalize whether or not this would be increment financing or whatever for the project? MR. ANDRE: I guess if we want to get the contract under way and the project moving yet this fall, I think that we would have to start almost immediately. I guess what we're anticipating as far as tax increment is corning to a conclusion within tne next 30 days. Unless something unforeseen comes up in the numbers of ,that proposal, I would expect that the Council would be able to act on it within tne next two or three months. COUNCI~~ FRANKE: (Inaudible) tax increment will take in the part that is R-l. We're not just talking about tax increment for that B-4 zoning. MR. ANDRE: No, the tax increment includes a larger area. COUNCILMAN FRANKE: (Inaudible) . MR. POPOVICH: Mayor and members of the Council, I have reviewed the plan that Dahlgren has prepared on the tax increment 8
