Origin of Project
In July, 1982, the Transportation and Public Works Department received a request
from one of the major property owners on this segment of Race Street to open and
improve the street on an assessment basis. The street is currently open from
Sylvania Avenue to within 225 feet of Oakhurst Scenic Drive.
A poll card survey was conducted on August 31, 1982 to let the City Council know
how the remaining property owners felt about improving the street. The affected
property owners agreed to the improvements. On October 27, 1982 (M&C G-5450),
the City Council approved the project and authorized the Director of
T ransportation and Public Works to design and advertise the project for bids.
Improvements
It is proposed to improve this segment of Race Street with 7" hot-mix asphaltic
concrete pavement with concrete curb and gutter, concrete sidewalk on both sides
of the street with attached retaining walls at the west end, and concrete
driven°ay approaches where specified on a 40-feet wide roadway as approved in M&C
G-5450, on October 27, 1982.
Assessments and Enhancements
Based on standard City policy in effect at the time this project was approved,
residentially zoned property is being assessed $15.50 per front foot for
pavement and curb and gutter, plus the cost of driveway approaches where none
now exist. Property zoned other than residential is being assessed for one-half
of the roadway pavement width, plus curb and gutter and driveway approaches
where none now exist. These assessments amount to $69,249.28.

Cost to the City for construction is approximately $228,640.84, plus $35,746.81
(12~) engineering. The City's high cost and proportional share is attributed to
an approximately 12-foot cut through rock at the west end - Race Street/Oakhurst
Scenic Drive intersection.
Based on previous appraisals of similar property, considering the improved
access and the improved drainage as a result of continuous curb and gutter, it
is the opinion of the Department of Transportation and Public Works that each
parcel of adjacent property will enhance in value by an amount equal to or more
than the proposed assessments.
Recommendation
It is recommended that an ordinance be adopted closing the benefit hearing and
levying the assessments as proposed.
