pertinent to the relocation of the street at the time it is upgraded. It appears by the feasibility study that there are going to be some additional costs relative to the movement of the street from it's present site into the easement which should not be assessed against the property owners. Mr. Hinton is also concerned that once the road is relocated, that the portion of his property that was being travelled au a roadway would be restored and seeded. Mayor Reimann directed City Staff to have the City Attorney review the agreement referred to and if the costs relating to the relocation of the road are to be deleted from assessable project costs, the affected property owners are to be notified of the modified estimated total and per unit project costs. Bret Scott - 7910 173rd - Stated that he originally signed the petition for the proposed improvements to Bison Street but he now is opposed to the project. Mr. Scott stated that one of the reasons he is opposed to the upgrading of Bison Street is that the realignment will move the road onto his property. Mr. Scott stated that his driveway accesses onto 173rd, not Bison Street, and it is not worth $5000.00 to him to have it paved. Mr. Scott also noted that City Council recently granted him a conditional use permit for a commercial dog kennel; now the Council is approving the proposed subdivision of Dellwood Hills which includes 9 residential lots; the 9 additional homes in the area increases the chances that there will be complaints about his kennel operation and his permit will be revoked. Mr. Scott stated that the issue of paving of Bison is the result of the proposed Dellwood Hills Addition; all 9 lots in Dellwood Hills, versus the two lots that abut Bison, should be assessed for paving Bison. Mr. Scott stated that the project should have included paving Bison Street in it's entirety rather than stopping the pavement at 171 st. Mayor Reimann agreed that the project should have considered surfacing t71st in it's entirety, thereby adding 3 more units to the proposed assessment roils and reducing the overall per unit assessment. Mr. Raatikka noted that according to City policy, if Mr. Scott does not have access to Bison Street, he should receive a 1/2 unit assessment. Mayor Reimann noted that there is an easement in place for the correct alignment of Bison Sn-eet and relocating the road into that easement is not a taking of Mr. Scott's property. John Anderley - 16917 Bison Street - Inquired as to why Bison Street is being considered for upgrading at this time and why didn't the project include the entirety of Bison. Mr. Raatikka explained that the City received a petition for a feasibility study to upgrade Bison from 171st to Bison Sn'eet. The petition was submitted by Dellwood Construction. John Anderley - Stated that with the existing homes and the proposed 4 in 40 zoning, the maximum number of homes there can be on Bison is 7 or 8; the proposed upgrading of Bison is to accommodate the proposed Dellwood Hills which consists of 9 lots; Dellwood should be responsible for 50%-60%, even 100%, of the cost to upgrade Bison. Inquired if the road will be realigned into it's correct position even if the road is not upgraded. Mayor Reimann explained that City Council reviewed the proposed plat of Dellwood Hills and was concerned with a plat accessing onto an unimproved road; on that basis, Dellwood Construction initiated a petition to upgrade Bison Street. Mayor Reimann also stated that he strongly believes that all those who benefit from an improvement should share in the City Council Public Hearing/August 29, 1989 Page 2 of 3
