CITY COUNCIL MEETING, MARCH 2, 1982 W-Z 9. MSA PROJECT - CONTINUED; --Steve Raleigh - have you ever considered a compromise between kbeping the road on the section line and moving it to the present location - the present location being 15' off of center between Crocker's and Raleigh's - --Bohrer - less than 15' about 5-6' Engineer and Mr. Raleigh reviewed the map.. --Eleanor Raleigh - how much money will be paid to the people on the west side of the road and how much will it cost to fill in the 30' drop on the Raleigh property. --Eder - explained that if it goes to the north it is the slopes and the problem that the road is flat - not many feet - but takes much more dirt. --Fraser - would like to pursue the ,b-uaiding up 'and, restoring possibility-. --Bohrer - possibility fo�`both Raleigh and Crocker. In Raleigh case to flatten it out and make more useable would take out more trees. Made it as ;,narrow as possible to avoid this. --Mottaz - should consider the cost of transplanting ornamental trees. Try and work something out with the Crockers. Understands they would gain more by having the fill and redepositing their top soil then they would by moving the line. Still would be some slope if the line were moved. --Bohrer - concurred - in front of the deepest ravine in front of the Raleigh property the present in place road is just 5' off. The most that would be gained would be 5'-there still has to be a slope. Could make a new garden spot on the Crocker property, - before making a commitment would have to look at it again. --Mottaz - should go as far as possible with economic restraints to minimize the impact on these individual cases. Would like to see some plan worked out. --Bohrer - excess material will be available - if a property owner could use this and it could be deposited reasonably - it is available. Regarding the trees mentioned - planting of trees would be eligible for State Aid reimbursement. However the City does not have any more money so any planting done under the program would just go back into the non -funded costs and reflect back in the assessments. Have suggested that the City get into some type of a seedling program where trees could be made available at a minimal cost. --Steve Raleigh — understands that th.e.difference between leaving the road where it is and putting the road on the section line is 5'. (Bohrer - in this particular area in front of Raleigh's',& Crockers) Disputes the costs of acquiring this property. --Bohrer - shifting the 5' will not eliminate the need to get easments from Mrs. Raleigh. --Raleigh - point is aimed at saving a large oak tree that is in the 5' temporary easement area and will be covered by the 2 to 1 slope. Asking that the easement could be somehow shifted in order to save this tree. --Mottaz - this could be a consideration along with the Crocker garden. Larry Bohrrer will look at this. --Whittaker - explained City policy concerning deferred assessments, which provides for assessments to be deferred on all but the driveway currently being used. The entire assessment could be paid now or defer payment until the property was subdivided. It would be at the option of the Council that an interest clause would be added to the deferred payment.
