Mr. Bury's property lies on the north and <br />south side of 221st Avenue, from Quinn Street east for 1/4 <br />mile. Mr. Bury is planning to install a permanent truck scale <br />for his operation and it would be to his advantage if the City <br />would relocate 221st Avenue north of its present location and <br />eliminate four curves and some very limited sight distances. <br />Mr. Bury will exchange the property for the new road alignment <br />at no cost to the City, and if the City will do the <br />construction in 1993, Mr. Bury has offered to furnish the Class <br />5 road base at no charge. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I believe that this is a win-win situation that allows the City <br />to correct a major right-of-way issue on an MSA route, take <br />advantage of an offer for free material, and accommodate a <br />property owner. I strongly recommend that the Council <br />authorize Maier Stewart to prepare the right-of-way documents <br />and authorize me to solicit quotes for contractors to build the <br />road grade. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />P.O.
