. e e Answering questions from Ms. Wooten, Mr. Teitzel said one person who owns about 900 feet of road frontage (about 40 percent of the project) is opposed to the project. He said other owners of abutting property have not expressed interest in the project, but residents of Daneland Mobile Homes want the improvement. He said he would rank this project third among the four projects in the 1987 CIP. The first and second projects will not be constructed until 1987 because right-of-way must be acquired first. Responding to questions from Mr. Miller and Mr. Holmer, Mr. Teitzel said sidewalks are proposed on both sides of the street. He said they are needed because crosswalks are hazardous on arterial streets. Mr. Miller said people drive fast in the area and there is a danger to children who walk to and from Fairfield School. Mr. Teitzel said Lane County will not contribute to the cost of the improvement. He said the neighborhood organization was notified of the hearing, but it did not respond. Responding to a question from Ms. Schue, Mr. Teitzel said Royal Avenue is an arterial; therefore, the percentage of property owners in favor of the improvement is not a criteria. He said the improvement will increase the safety of the entire community. Mr. Hansen moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to approve the Hearings Official IS minutes and findings of April 29, 1986, concerning paving of Royal Avenue from Candlelight to Terry Street. Answering a question from Ms. Wooten, Mr. Teitzel said probably the people who own large frontage on Royal Avenue will oppose the project. Roll call vote; the motion carried 6:1 with Councilors Hansen Schue, Wooten, Bascom, Rutan, and Miller voting aye and Mr. Holmer voting nay. B.

Mr. Hansen moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, to adopt the resolution. Roll call vote; the motion carried 6:1 with Councilors Hansen, Schue, Wooten, Bascom, Rutan, and Miller voting aye, and Mr. Holmer voting nay. VI. ROUTINE ITEMS FOR COUNCIL APPROVAL A.
