<br />Highland Road and Surrounding Area <br />November 10, 2005 <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />The informational meeting lasted approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes. There was a brief <br />presentation at the beginning and well over an hour of questions, answers and comments. <br />The general tone of those in attendance at the informational meeting was they were not <br />interested in the sewer and water option, nor the" do nothing" option, but they were more <br />interested in either adding pedestrian facilities or reconstructing Highland Road with <br />sidewalks. I indicated to them that we would bring this back to the City Council and if the <br />Council gave us direction to proceed on any specific project, we would hold another <br />informational meeting during the process with the directly-affected property owners. <br /> <br />For the Council's consideration if deemed appropriate, I have attached a resolution ordering <br />a feasibility study for reconstructing Highland Road to an urban section, narrowing it slightly <br />and constructing sidewalks on one or both sides. As indicated in the PowerPoint <br />presentation material, the residents in attendance were told that this option would be <br />assessed at $6,500 - $7,000 per residential unit (similar to the Pavement Management <br />Program assessment method.) There was no one in attendance that raised objections to this <br />amount of assessment. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this issue, I will be in attendance at your November 21, <br />2005 meeting. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />:;;;;,~ <br /> <br />Terry J.
