Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: February 4, 2000 <br />RE: Little Canada Road Improvements <br />In the attached memo from the City Engineer you will note that we are facing right -of- <br />way constraints regarding the reconstruction of Little Canada Road. This will force some <br />difficult decisions in order for us to proceed with this project. One solution to these <br />problems is the acquisition of additional property to facilitate the project. There are two <br />options to consider in this regard: <br />1. Acquisition of the homes adjacent to Round Lake at 10 East Little Canada Road <br />and 30 East Little Canada Road. Ultimately we will acquire these properties <br />under a voluntary sale basis. We may want to see if we can accelerate this <br />process to ease the right -of -way constraints in this area and allow for a more <br />viable project given the long -term nature of the improvement. <br />2. Acquisition of the Venetian Inn property. The City Engineer is working on an <br />interim solution that will allow us to build the new roadway without acquiring this <br />property. This will result in additional cost at the point in time when the right -of- <br />way becomes available. While I do not advocate acquiring this property without a <br />redevelopment project, I want to ensure that you are aware of this option before <br />the design is finalized. <br />The City Engineer will be prepare to discuss the constraints in greater detail at <br />Wednesday's meeting. If you have any questions, please contact me. <br />Page 13 <br />
