12.G. OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET - NONE <br />12.H. RECREATION — NONE <br />12.I. PUBLIC WORKS <br />66TH AVENUE (SR 60 TO 57111 STREET) CORRIDOR STUDY / <br />S.C.A.L.E. REPORT <br />Assistant Public Works Director Chris Mora explained the reasons for the Safety, <br />Cost, Alternative Alignments, Long Range Planning, and Environmental Considerations <br />(S.C.A.L.E.) Report. He provided a chronology of events on the subject road since 1995 (when <br />the 66th Avenue project was added to the County's Long Range Transportation Plan), to present. <br />The Consultant recommended alignment for the roadway, and staff recommended that the Board <br />approve the 66th Avenue Corridor Study/S.C.A.L.E. Report for the segment of 66th Avenue from <br />south of SR 60 to north of 57th Street. Director Mora said approval of the Resolution would lay <br />the groundwork for future eminent domain proceedings, the Resolutions of Necessity that would <br />be needed to acquire properties. <br />Commissioner Wheeler questioned the advantages of a curb versus a shoulder and <br />Director Mora explained the differences, noting that curbing narrows the footprint of the <br />roadway and lets you build a road with less right-of-way. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan noticed in the cost table, there was only $2 million for the <br />east and west options for right-of-way acquisitions, which to him did not seem a very realistic <br />number. He asked if the consultant looked at the real cost of the right-of-way acquisition <br />between those two alignments. <br />Director Mora believed the Consultant used a figure per acre, ($45,000 per acre), <br />which is a figure that staff gave him based on comparisons that were done for appraisals along <br />March 17, 2009 26 <br />
