City Council meeting of September 8, 1998 Page 5 trees should not be removed; and the bike path should have some continuity. Donna Engel asked that the Council bring down the cost of the project and use the money to hire another sheriffs deputy for the City. The public hearing was closed for comments. The Council then discussed the project. Barnes felt that many hours were spent developing road standards for the City, and there could be repercussions from developers should the City divert from these standards. Council discussion continued regarding options available to accomplish the project. Miron made motion, Goiffon seconded, to table until the Council meeting of October 5, 1998 to allow the City Engineer draft options for Council review. All aye. Motion Carried. ACOUISITION OF ROAD RIGHT=OF WAY (BUENO) Mr. Timothy Geck, attorney representing Mr. and Mrs. Bueno regarding the City's acquisition of additional road right-of-way for the construction of Fenway Avenue to 142nd Street, appeared before the Council on their behalf. The City's appraisal of the property indicated a value of $14,000; the appraisal performed on behalf of the property owners indicated a value of $19,700. The City has proposed splitting the difference with the Buenos and paying $16,850 for the road right-of-way. Mr. Geck indicated that in addition to a cash payment, the Buenos were seeking some assurance that they would be able to subdivide the lot, gaining an additional two lots from the property. COUNCILMAN LEROUX ARRIVED AT 9:30 PM. Mr. Geck was informed that the Council would look at the proposed survey, but that the Buenos would have to go through the proper channels for subdivision approval. Goiffon made motion to pay Mr. and Mrs. Bueno $19,700 for the acquisition of additional right of way for the construction of Fenway Avenue. Motion failed for lack of second. Miron made motion, Leroux seconded, that the City offer Mr. and Mrs. Bueno $16,850 for the right of way. All aye. Motion Carried.
