JUN S 1980 • RIVER COUNTY11 emmmmPLANNING & ZONING ^ G OEPARTIVIENT June 17, 1980 MEMO TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: David Rever, Planning and Zoning Director 14 f SUBJECT: Oslo School Site - Road Situation 43 PAGE 780 As requested, this memo is an update on the status of the proposed align- ment of an access road to the proposed Oslo Road - 18th Avenue school site. Neil Nelson, David Marsh, Cliff Reuter and myself met on Friday, June 13, 1980 to discuss the possibility of obtaining sufficient right-of-way along the proposed 20th Avenue corridor for the construction of a 24 ft. road to serve the school and surrounding properties. Mr. Reuter,representing himself and Mr. Hatala, did indicate that he would be favorably inclined to negoti- ating the dedication of the needed right-of-way. It should be noted that Mr. Reuter did inquire as to the possibility of a density bonus or similar allowance, as well as an adjustment to the com- mercially zoned property fronting along Oslo Road to compensate for the loss of approximately 90 ft. (a 10' rear lot easement now exists) due to dedi- cation. Since that time it has also been indicated that Mr. Rousseau, located to the south, would also consider the possibility of a dedication. In general it is the staff's feeling that the County should proceed with negotiations to acquire and improve the 20th Avenue corridor in conjunction with the development of the school site. The long range benefits are felt to be substantial enough to outweigh the recognized shortcomings; such as the slight jog required at the 20th Avenue - Oslo Road intersection; the double frontage lots on the east; and the existence of established right-of- ways. The two jogs can be compensated for through aiighment design for future improvements, which will very likely be necessitated anyway, due to increased traffic flows. Long-range needs will outweight the undesirable situation of double frontage lots. Finally, it is strongly felt that current and future short-term growth trends will bear out the importance of the 20th Avenue corridor not only in this immediate area but farther north and south as well. This is attributable to many factors, but perhaps most importantly the impending development of the County water system, the development plans being proposed or discussed by G.D.C., and other large developers, and the anticipated expected increases in development if in fact a school is sited in this vicinity.
