As you've read in the paper, the City Council has directed me to contact you <br />regarding the potential acquisition of a parcel of property from you in order to realign the <br />intersection. Potentially, this realignment could be accomplished by acquiring a triangular <br />strip of property along your southerly property line which would be approximately 20 feet <br />wide at Gates Avenue and taper to zero at the southeast comer of your lot. Attached are two <br />copies of a sketch that was prepared in July of 1992 showing a concept of realigning this <br />intersection. <br /> <br />As we discussed on the phone today, this is only a concept-it is not a hard and fast design. <br />Also, the City Council's direction to me was to make contact with you and see if there was <br />any interest in pursuing a discussion regarding the potential of acquisition of the property <br />necessary for the realignment. As you are aware, the realignment of this intersection by <br />moving Third Street to the north would necessitate the removal of the large tree in the front <br />of your property. As I indicated, if you would like, we would be happy to put some survey <br />stakes on your property to indicate the actual area the City would like to acquire. <br /> <br />After you have had an opportunity to review the sketch, please give me a call. I'd be happy <br />to meet you and your husband at any mutually convenient time to discuss this issue further. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />~(JIf~ <br /> <br />Terry J.
