That being said, the Asmussens were only assessed for one lot, rather than threeJots be~ause those two lots would not be buildable in the future. That is One . reason that Option 1 wentup slightly. CouncilmemberElvig n()ted that in this area there is a 38-foot new road going into an oldet, much tighter road. Ther~may be drainage is~ues involved, and this is an area right outside the school that is constantly 'servicing parked vehicles going to the school with kids walking. It is ,a highly a-ccessed area befQre and after school and events. Something that came up at the Public Works meeting is that he believes the City has a problem they need to fix. That is why the Committee hasaskedfor,'a few options if the City wants to partiCipate with this. , , Mayor Qamec clarified with Public Works Director Olson that the normal street width is 32 feet. He' asked why the width in this location is 38 feet. Public Works Director Olson explained there has been a lot of discussion about reserving land at the old city hall property for a future school, and the idea was to have a very walkableand parkable roadway. GM'Homes proposed the 38-foot wide. roadway and..theCity accepted'it based on those conditions. Mayor Gamecverified th~tthe street to the east would be at a 32-footwidth., Councilmember. Elvig' suggested the Police Chief may want to weigh in on this. He noted one other consideration is if a school is going to be built to the north those properties could potentia1lybe boughtoutto accommodate a secondary schooll:llong Area No.2. Public Works DirectorOJson indicated that is a consideration~ but it has not been discussed at great length. There havepbeen instances where 'the school has said more than 33 acres would be needed,'and the ,timing is bot known on this. Councilmember Elvig pointed out another thought is the question of putting sewer: and water in if the properties may go aWay to the school at SOme point.
