Bohrer also pointed out that there is a house in the way for the future right-of-way. The Council will have to decide if we are going to allow her to rebuild on the remaining 3 acres after we buy the right-of-way or to pay the value for the whole substandard lot in that zone and declare it not buildable. An appraisal has been made based on the taking of the house, but not the balance of the lot. He discussed this with the owner who found it acceptable, but she wanted to stay on the property. When a survey is performed by Larry Bohrer, this will be put on the agenda. A public hearing for June 21st was tentatively set. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT 9.
