le <br />9288-,1RD., l�t7 <br />Tp nn <br />To: Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrator - <br />From: John R. Gerhardson, Public Works Director <br />Date: August 31, 1988 <br />_ g <br />Subject: Bohn's Point Feasibility <br />On August 8, 1988, the Orono Council approved a fe.sibility study for <br />the upgrading of Bohn's Point Road. As you will recall, the petition <br />presented earlier by the residents requested a 22' wide road. The Council <br />felt that because the City has a standard of 24' wide, that the feasibility <br />study should be performed to determine the feasibility of a 24' road. <br />So that there would not be any misunderstanding later, I felt it <br />necessary for City Engineer Glenn Cook and myself to meet with Mr. Winslow <br />at the site. After walking the entire road and taking measurements, it was <br />Glenn Cook's and my opinion that it is indeed feasible to widen the road <br />to 241. Mr. Winslow stated that he and the rest of Bohn's Point Road <br />residents would be very much opposed to a 24' road, and that they will not <br />agree to pay 75% of the cost of the feasibility. <br />Mr. Winslow then requested that the matter be brought back to the <br />Council to allow him an opportunity to request a feasibility study for a <br />22' wide road maximum (see attached). <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Proceed with a feasibility for a 24' road at City expense. <br />2. Proceed with a feasibility for a 22' road as per the residents <br />request, 75-25 split. <br />3. Rescind the order for the feasibility study. <br />I would certainly agree that to repair and widen Bohn's Point Road to <br />22' would reduce maintenance costs. However, the f remains that we do <br />have a 24' standard and we have been consistent with ,.fiat standard. <br />RECOMMENDATION: To proceed with the feasibility study for Bohn's Point <br />Road with the study showing the feasibility of a 24' wide road and that the <br />residents pay 75% of the costs of the study and the City pay 25%. <br />PROPOSED MOTION: Moved by , seconded by , to proceed with the <br />feasibility study for Bohn's Point Road with +-'- study showing the <br />feasibility of a 24' wide road and that the resiaents pay 75% of the cost <br />of the study and the C1.ty pay 25%.
