/~bCASE # ~ <br /> <br />SECTION OF C.R. #116 ALIGNMENT BETWEEN C.R. #56 AND C.R. #83 <br /> By: Steve Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At the July 22, 1997 Finance Committee meeting, the extension of County Road #116, between <br />C.R. #56 and C.R. #83, was discussed. The City will be responsible for acquiring the necessary <br />right-of-way. Prior to this it will be necessary to select an alignment for the extension. At the <br />July 22, 1997 meeting, the Council agreed to delineate the wetlands which could possibly be <br />impacted by the road construction and further directed that an alignment be selected to minimize <br />the wetland impact. The wetland delineation has been performed and an exhibit has been <br />prepared showing the wetlands in the area. As a result of this delineation, there is an obvious <br />route which minimizes the wetland impact over other routes, primarily due to a break in the <br />wetland finger. This location would place the intersection of C.R. #116 approximately 360 feet <br />north of the present intersection with 147th Avenue. (It is likely the 147th Avenue intersection <br />with Armstrong Boulevard would be eliminated by a cul-de-sac in order to minimize conflicting <br />caused by the close proximity of the two roads.) <br /> <br />However, at a location approximately 570 feet north of this intersection, the City currently has <br />title to a 120 foot wide, half-mile long, strip of right-of-way that could facilitate the future <br />westward extension of C.R. #116, possibly as a county road, but definitely as a City street. The <br />advantage of this more northerly alignment would be a savings in land acquisition cost. The <br />disadvantage would be an increase in wetland impact of percent over the least impact <br />alternative. <br /> <br />A sketch map will be available at the meeting illustrating the existing right-of-way available for <br />this thoroughfare and the two potential routes. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend to City Council a route for the extension of C.R. #116 and direct Staff to <br />initiate acquisition proceedings. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Administrative Services Manager <br />Public Works Supervisor <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />RB: 9/9/97 <br /> <br />~jo/council&/road&bri/1997/septembe/crl 16ext. doe <br /> <br /> <br />
