Qerhardson notad they do not have to have a public hear my for the project, and suggested a public meeting instead. He indicated that the road could be staked to allow the residents to visualize the affect on their properties. Jabbour asked what the City’s chances were for the variance request. Cook felt that they had a 90% chance of approval. He noted that current City standards require a rural roadway to be paved at a 24’ width with 3’ shoulders, or a paved area of 28’ with curb and gutter. He noted the disadvantage of Leaf Street is that it is so straight. Qoetten asked the speed limit of the road. Qerhardson said It is 30 MPH. Jabbour asked when the road is reconstructed, if it has to follow current standards. Cook reported that the City allows replacement in kind.
