AUG 1 X287 INTRODUCTION OF NEW COUNTY HEALTH DIRECTOR Dr. Bernard Berman came before the Board and expressed his happiness to be working with the County. The Board extended their welcome and wishes for a long and successful relationship. REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT 9TH COURT BET. OSLO & 11TH ST. (WIGGINS) _ The Board was referred to memo of Public Works Director Davis: Charles Balczun, August 5 1987 -`` TO: County ArJrninistrator DATE: F_ll,�.:��4' N�r-iI_ Ow SUBJECT: Joe Wiggins Request to Construct 9th Court between Oslo Road and 11th Street FROM: James W. Davis, p.E. REFERENCES: Liz Forlani to Charles Public Works Director Balczun, dated 8-3-87 Regarding the subject request for the County to construct 9th Count south of Oslo Road, the Public Works Department, after further consideration, is of the opinion that construction of this road would substantially benefit two property owners along the road. Usually, a local road such as 9th Court is constructed by the property owners who plat the land, after which the road is dedicated to the County. Originally. when this request came to the Board on April 7, 1987, staff was under the assumnption that the residents only wanted the County to maintain the existing dirt road now established. Opening up a new road in this area would benefit individual parcels more than the general public. This type construction by the County should be discouraged or we may set a precedent that would be costly. -- Staff recommends that 9th Court not be funded by the County through the Netto and Armsstead property. Joe Wiggins came before the Board and advised that if 9th Court SW were constructed between Oslo Road and 11th St., it would provide access for.,, he police and emergency vehicles and allievate some of the traffic on 10th Court SW. He confirmed that Mr. Netto and Mr. Armstead have agreed that they would dedicate the right-of-way needed, and he had a problem with saying this was only going to benefit two people as he felt it 32
