The Engineer estimated the life at 15 to 20 years with seal coating to occur on a 7 year cycle. McGraw introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2012 -3 -55 — AWARDING THE LOW BID OF T. A.

Ayes (4). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. The City Clerk reported that the City is in receipt of petitions from the property owners at 735, 739, 743, and 751 County Road B -2 East requesting improvement of the road access to their properties. While all four of the impacted property owners have submitted a petition, the property owner at 743 County Road B -2 East is asking to be compensated for this potential road right -of -way.

Another issue that needs resolution is the possibility that the current driveway location encroaches onto neighboring property. The Clerk reported that factoring out the petition submitted by the property owner at 743 County Road B -2, there are more than the minimum number of signatures required to proceed with a feasibility report, 35% of the impacted property owners being the minimum. Therefore, staff recommends acceptance of the petitions and ordering the feasibility report. Again, the Clerk indicated that the issues of right -of -way compensation and encroachment will be addressed in the feasibility report process. Dan Ankrum, 2409 Dianna Lane, reported that when he first purchased his property on Dianna Lane, the rear yard was heavily wooded.

Ankrum reviewed a map of the area showing where the encroachment is occurring and noted that his neighbor's property stake is a couple of feet into the blacktopped driveway area. Ankrum reported that, over the years, the property owners at 735, 739, 743, and 751 County Road B -2 have moved their mailboxes from 9
