PUBLIC HEARING - WILLOW DRIVE IMPROVEMENT <br />Cook reviewed the plans to reconstruct Willow Drive along Hwy 12 to 500 ’ north of <br />Hwy 12, which will eventually tic in with the proposed frontage road. This project <br />includes concrete curb and gutter with a turn lane at Willow to mirror design for Willow <br />on the south side of Hwy 12. There will be two lanes, along with the turn lane, and a <br />right turn lane into the nursery. <br />Cook said the original proposal called for the improvement to end beyond the Otten <br />drive. This has been extended to clear the Otten property. Lower cost options were <br />considered but concern was with the hca\7 traffic emering and leaving the nursery. The <br />cost of the original plan was estimated at $130,000. To scale back to the $100,000 <br />amount would mean the improvement would not extend to the Otten driveway. <br />'fhe project cost is $157,692. The plan is to assess 25%, or $39,423, to the adjacent <br />property owners on both side of the road. An amount of $19,7! 1 will be assessed to <br />each of the benefited properties <br />Callahan asked for clarification of the right turn lane from Hwy 12 to Willow. Cook said <br />there will be a single lane on Willow, with a left turn lane for the signal, and a thru lane to <br />go south or to the west. There would be a thru lane with a right lane into Otten's <br />nursery 1 he road would taper off to the normal width of the road. There would be no <br />acceleration lane coming out of the Otten property. Those vehicles would go into traffic <br />immediately.
