However, the property owner may request compensation for the easement. The <br />cost to acquire a temporary construction easement could be as much as $2 per <br />square foot. Applied to the 450-foot easement needed for the sidewalk along <br />Red Oak Drive, the potential cost of the easement could be as much as $900. <br />Cost <br />Construction of a sidewalk on this segment of Red Oak Drive would add <br />approximately $13,000 to the 2009-2010 SUIP, regardless of which side of the <br />road it is constructed upon. This does include the potential cost for the <br />temporary construction easement. <br />The original Feasibility Report for the 2007-2008 SUIP, now known as the 2009- <br />2010 SUIP, did not include any costs for sidewalk improvements on Red Oak <br />Drive or Hillview Road. Therefore the costs for any sidewalk added to the project <br />would need to be accounted for in the financing of the 2009-2010 SUIP as well <br />as in the plan for the overall Street and Utility Improvement Program. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff is seeking direction from Council with regard to this recommendation from <br />the Streets and Utilities Committee, so the design of the 2009-2010 SUIP can <br />proceed accordingly. The direction from the Council on this issue will be <br />prepared as a Resolution to be brought back to the Council for formal approval at <br />a future City Council meeting. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Joseph R.
