66th Avenue, only for the partial takes that were needed for the roadway. He did not anticipate <br />whole take as staff has done. <br />Consultant Hank Deibel of Arcadis affirmed that Mr. Mora's summary was <br />accurate. He said that figure also does not include any easements required for drainage or <br />embankment, among other things. Mr. Deibel responded to other questions from Commissioner <br />O'Bryan of whether he had looked at the two alignments, and how many owner -occupied parcels <br />we would have to acquire on each alignment. Commissioner O'Bryan thought that was a big <br />cost factor and should be looked at. <br />Director Mora explained the impact of leaving the alignment along the western <br />area versus moving it east over the canal. He responded to further concerns regarding whether <br />there were any driveways impacted by the east alignment, the $8 million total cost difference, <br />estimated construction cost, and 13 driveways impacted on the west side and none on the east. <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis addressing some of Commissioner O'Bryan's <br />concerns, said once we acquire entire properties, the remainder could be sold to some other <br />potential buyer. Some of that land, perhaps, could be used for some stormwater ponds, but staff <br />has decided, as they purchase some of these parcels, that instead of waiting for a court to <br />determine whether a whole or partial take was necessary, they are taking the initiative to buy the <br />whole property, recognizing there is a value to the remainder, because they could recoup much <br />of the money spent. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Solari, SECONDED <br />by Chairman Davis, the Board by a 4-1 vote <br />(Commissioner O'Bryan dissenting) approved the <br />66th Avenue Corridor Study / S.C.A.L.E. Report for <br />the segment of 66th Avenue from south of SR 60 to <br />March 17, 2009 27 <br />
