DISCUSSION: The 1986 Capital Improvement Program approved in March 1986 included funds for the improvement of Lee Avenue from N.E. 28th Street to West Long Avenue. The existing street consists of asphalt pavement in poor condition with some curb and gutter. It is in the Far North Target Area and has never previously been constructed to City standards. Community Development Block Grant funds will provide a portion of the construction cost and in accordance with the Assessment Paving Policy, properties zoned and used for one- and two-family residences are not being assessed. On March 26, 1991 (M&C G-9079), the City Council- established April 23, 1991, as the date of the benefit hearing. Notice has been given in accordance with Article 1105b, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes. The project is located in Council District 2. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS: It is proposed to improve this segment of Lee Avenue by constructing a standard concrete pavement section with curb on a lime stabilized subgrade. The finished roadway will be thirty feet wide on a sixty foot right-of-way. Standard driveway approaches and sidewalks will be constructed where shown on the plans. ASSESSMENTS: An independent appraiser has provided a report which determines the enhancement to property values that will result from the proposed improvements. Based on standard City policy, the City Engineer's estimate, and the advice of the independent appraiser, the cost of the construction has been computed at $23,284.00 (4%) for the property owners and $603,716.00 (96%) for the City of Fort Worth at large. UNUSUAL SITUATIONS: There are no unusual situations on this project which require special council consideration.
