Mr.Brabham was offered $3,910.00 based upon a slope fill from the sidewalk to his home which was rejected-. This amount included $2,000.00 as severance damages for proximity of the right-of-way to Mr. Brabham's home. He asked for construction of a retaining-wall instead. . The Public Works Department estimated th~ cost of the retaining wall at $3,103.00,. and reduction in severance damages of about $1,000.00 if the retaining wall is constructed.. The Department recommended offering Mr.Brabham construction of the wall at the City's expense plus $2.,910.00 for the right-of-way. Councilman Lassen asked if it would be better to straighten the alignment rather than moving the street to the north, and the Public Works Director answered that the damages would be much . greater because of resulting inaccessibility to so~e of the properties. He said also it would not be possible to construct a sidewalk on each side of the street. e , :1 :1 !i II I, Ii II " ii 2 il II II ,I !I " " II I' Ii Ii 3 !I II Ii Ii r ,I 1\ Ii ii No action was taken. 4 :!

The Public Works Director explained it was the intent to enter into agreement with owners of properties lying within the projected right-of-way to defer collection of the assessment unt~l the State acquires the land. He said no interest would be charged during the deferment period. He also said there were several otherproperties within the right-of-way: on which agreement similar to that authorized with Mr. Reiersgaard on deferment of collection would have to be made. ..
