The City Engineer explained the proposed construction, and indicated that, in
his opinion, the roadway could be constructed so as to solve a number of
existing drainage Problems. The property owners were advised that the road-
way would require reconstruction to acceptable standards as a condition of
acceptance as a public way.
The total estimated cost of the roadway construction is $4,600, which would
consist of a 12 of wide travel way consisting of a 2 inch bituminous concrete
surface of a 1511aiQraved subbase.
More are three alternatives to the payment of the construction cost, including:
(1) having the work performed as part of the Westside Neighborhood Improvement
Program, (2) assessing 1/3 of the cost against the properties which benefit by
the construction provided that the majority of the property owners are in favor,
or (3) the construction cost to be paid entirely by the City on the grounds that
the construction of the roadway is in the best interests of the City. Mr. McKay
indicated that the first alternative was not possible, since Eaton Place is not
within the boundaries of this year's neighborhood improvement program. The
City Engineer then asked how many of those present were in favor of the proposed
construction and would be willing to pay their proportionate share, totaling 1/3
of the cost. Two property owners were in favor and five were opposed, which
means that the City could not assess the property owners for the construction.
The third alternative and apparently the only one possible, is for the City to
pay the entire cost of construction. Five property owners were in favor and two
were opposed to this alternative. Since the majority of the property owners appear
to be satisfied with the street as it now exists and do not desire to have the
street reconstructed, it is recommended that the reconstruction and the acceptan^e
of the street be considered to be in the best interests of the City, to be done at
the City's expense. Upon the acceptance of that conviction, it is further recommended
that the above-described right-of-way be established as a public way, to be named
and known as Eaton Place, a plan of the proposed laying out entitled "Easton Place
Right -Of -Way", Plan No. R866, dated rune 25, 1973, is on file in the office of
the City Engineer.
