All three of the property owners were invited to the meeting to discuss their concerns with the project. This is intended to be an opportunity to consider suggestions as to how this project might be modilicd to address resident concerns. Mr. Grog Bolicr who was in attendance at the meeting indicated that he was very concerned about the impact that the widened roadway would have on the landscaping along the front of these properties which provide considerable screening from TH 47. He also appealed to the committee to review the cost sharing proposed for the project. Staff agreed that this was an extremely unique situation considering the City's need for a trail, thc fact that this was a dead end street, and that only three property owners are available to share in the financing the entire roadway. Staff felt these unique circumstances would allow for the consideration of a 28 foot paved width, with the easternmost eight feet dedicated for trail use. The Committee concurred and directed that the feasibility study be revised identify the costs associated with the trail, the roadway and the cul de sac. The City Council could then consider additional funding participation when the public hearing was continued on JLme 28, 2005. Action: Rati fy the consensus of the Public Works Committee.
