PIINUTES City Co~ancil October 12, 1988 Country Dr. Ed Nadeau, 2888 Nadeau Road, asked why the plan shows Condit Street moved Relocation slightly to the east. Nadea u felt that if additional r~ight-of-way was (Cont.) needed for Cond.it, it should come equally from both s ides of the street. The City Planner stated that it was thought that the additional right-of-way acquisition would have less impact on the properties to the east. Nadeau also pointed out that Condit Street is not in the r•ight location. The City Engineer pointed out that Condit is only half of a street and was located mor~e or less within the street easement. The Engineer also reported that if Country Dr•ive is lowered, it will also be moved fur•ther east and Nadeau would gain some additional land. Fahey pointed out that the question of the location of Condit becomes a mute point if the Countr•y Drive lowering project becomes r~eality. Fahey pointed out that the Country Drive lower•ing project will only fly if the pr•oper~ty owner•s are in agreement with it. Fahey stated that if a mar•keting study is done, the City will look for• one developer who will develop the entire piece. The developer will have to negotiate with the various property owners involved. However, in the meantime, Country Dr•ive stays wher•e it is. One member of the general public asked if Nadeau Road would r•emain. Fahey r•eplied that that would depend on the developer and his development plans for~ the area. Fahey stated that the City may agr•eed to that if the development is of sufficient quality. Rudy asked if soil borings have been done in the area. The City Engineer replied that he has not r~eceived this information as yet. Ron Lachenmeyer, 190 Bur~ke Lane, asked who would receive the pr•ofitfr•om the fill which would be sold if Country Dr•ive is lowered. Blesener suggested that the pr•ofit from the sale of the dir•t could go towards the cost of the road. Fahey pointed out that if the pr•oject utilized TIF, the revenues fr~om the sale of the dir•t could be used toward the cost of the r•oad. However~, the City would work with the developer to determine if the road needs to be lowered or not. Fahey pointed out that the deve1oper~ may not be concerned with the visibility from the freeway. The City Engineer suggested that the cost of lowering the r•oad would be based on the sale of the dir•t. Fahey stated that in view of the cost pr•esented tonight for lower~ing Country Drive, he is skeptical that the lowering would be worthwhile. Fahey stated that he would like to see a TIF analysis for~ the project. Page -6-
