e Res. No. 3520--A resolution authorizing street paving and sidewalk con- struction on Crescent Avenue from Gilham Road to Coburg Road (1835). e Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to adopt the resolution. Ms. Smith asked that staff discuss possible changes in street design at the time of the contract award hearing. Ms. Miller asked that staff at that time also address the issue of the necessity for the project in terms of public benefit, with particular reference to the evidence of need that was presented when the item was made a part of the Transportation Improvement Plan. Roll call vote. Motion carried 6:1, with Councilors Hamel, Lindberg, Miller, Schue, Smith, and Wooten voting aye, and Councilor Obie voting no. F. Council-Initiated Improvement Resolution Regarding Street Paving of Bailey Hill Road from Warren Street to Bertelsen Road Mr. Gleason asked Mr. Teitzel to give the staff report on this item. Mr. Teitzel explained that this project was similar to the previous item. The project is located from Warren Street to Bertelsen Road on Bailey Hill Road. He noted that the staff hearing in the area was held on April 8, 1981, and that a second council hearing will be held at the time of the award of the contract. He said that the project was recommended because of the need to provide pedes- trian and bicycle safety in the form of sidewalks and bike lanes in this area near the Bailey Hill Elementary School. This project will provide for the ultimate construction of two travel lanes, a center turn lane, two bike lanes, and sidewalks. Because only one side of the road is presently located in the city, the full section will only be installed on that side of the road. Mr. Teitzel said that the main issue raised at the staff hearing had been the double-frontage assessment, which applies to about 750 feet of the property involved. He noted that the project was originally laid out in the Transpor- tation Improvement Plan to go from Warren Avenue to Four Oaks Grange Road, but that the project had been extended to Bertelsen, because the property between Four Oaks Grange and Bertelsen roads was recently annexed to the City; because the County is proposing to construct Bertelsen Road farther south; and because the City therefore wanted to connect the two projects rather than leaving a short block unimproved. Ms. Miller opened the public hearing and indicated that she had one request to testify from Richard Lunney, 2315 Harvard Drive. Mr. Lunney was not present. There being no public testimony, Ms. Miller closed the public hearing. Res. No. 3521--A resolution authorizing street paving, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and sidewalk construction on Bailey Hill Road from Warren Street to Bertelsen Road and sanitary sewer construction in Four Oaks Grange Road from Bailey Hill Road to approximately 500 feet north (1576). e Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to adopt the resolution. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. MINUTES--Eugene City Council May 26, 1981 Page 14
