TO THE MUNICIPAL OFFICERS: September 12, 1973
Reference is made to a previous petition received from the resi-
dents of Bellevue Avenue north of Garland Street requesting that
-a study be done to determine the cost of constructing that por-
tion of Bellevue Avenue to standards necessary to permit acceptance
of the street as a public way. Surveys, plans, and cost extimates
have been completed, and the following report is submitted:
The existing roadway is an
unaccepted street extending approximately
500 feet north from Garland Street. The City performs no main-
tenance of the street, but has plowed the street for two winters
pending the development of an acceptable plan of reconstruction.
Since the existing roadway has insufficient base material, it
would be required that it be completely reconstructed, adjusting
the existing grade so as to eliminate low areas which exist at
various points on each side of the present roadway. The new
roadway would be constructed to a width of 20 feet for a distance
of 464 feet north from the center line of Garland Street, within
the existing 60 foot wide right-of-way. It is further proposed
that. an 80 foot diameter paved cul-de-sac be constructed at the
northerly end, centered within a circular right-of-way having a
diameter of 100 feet, as required by the Subdivision ordinance.
The total estimated cost of the roadway construction is $7,430,
of which 1/3 or $2,476 may be assessed against the abutting prop-
erty owners. The recommended assessments are as follows:
.Estimated
Name Frontage Assessment In favor opposed
Mrs. Della Keene 150' $ 444 No Reply No Reply
Mr. John R. Graham 110.3' 327 x
Stephanie Coney 230' 681 X*
Mrs. Israel Laeger 120' 35,5 K
Mr. Lawrence R. Schiro 226' 669 x*
$2,476
Mrs. Coney and Mr. Schiro were in favor on the condition that
the turnaround would not be constructed at the end, since they
felt that it would take too much of their property. Mr. Schiro
was advised that the eight -of -way would be required from him at
a price of $235, and the acquisition from Coney would be $240. in
spite of this, both parties were opposed to the construction of a
turnaround.

The purpose of the turnaround is to permit reasonably convenient
maneuvering by trucks, especially plows in the winter. To con-
struct the roadway without a turnaround would be in variance
with Our Ordinances, and would slow down the plowing operation.
It is recommended that the street be reconstructed to acceptable
standards without the turnaround; however, the property ow
should be advised that the turnaround will be constructed ir
if and
when it is considered necessary to permit more efficient main-
tenance.
