This hearing was held in conjunction with Art Porter's request for rezoning his property at 40th and 3rd Street to R-4 multiple dwelling for a 40-unit condominum apartment complex. The City Manager presented several proposals for consideration on the 3rd Street roadway. These included: p. 240 1. Consideration of possible widening of 3rd Street to 50' right-of-way going north from 40th to a point approximately even with 41st Avenue. The cost of this proposal would be $8,600 or $7.20 per assessable front foot for land acquisition, street platting and opening. 2. The second possibility was a proposal to consider replatting 3rd Street to 50I right-of-way all the way from 40th to 42nd Avenue which would mean reacquiring right-of-way that was vacated, the cost to be $18,540, assessed at $7.35 per front foot. 3. The last proposal would be the possibility of putting a roadway through that would reach from 41st and 2nd Street all the way to the culdesac locationand proceed southward to the intersection of 40th and 3rd Street where it presently exists. The cost of this is more expensive because more land would have to be acquired. The project would be just under $20,000 or about $8.60 per front foot to plat it out and open the street with base material. None of these proposals included any of the costs involved in putting in public utilities, such as sanitary sewer at $12, watermain extensions at $9, curb and gutter at $6, and blacktopping at $3.50. These would be additional costs. Howard Jenson and Bill Marshall, representing School District #13 were present. Mr. Jenson said the school site proposal which the Council has been concerned about, just ~rth of this area, is in a "holing pattern". The population is decreasing, and whether or not Oakwood school would be replaced is something that the School Board must determine. Mr. Marshall presented figures on population and reported the last action the School Board took on this school proposal. After a lengthy discussion, the Council determined a 60' right-of- way was in order. The City Attorney was instructed to draft the appropriate resolution dedicating the 60' street r~ght-of-way and acquiring the land within the right-cl:-way. Recess was called at lO:15 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 10:35 p.m. Resolution #72-79 Replatting 3rd Street N.E. from 40th Avenue N.E. to a Point 560' North of 40th Avenue N.E. and Directing the City Manager to Achieve the Same.
