r AUG 101993 <br />Booz 90 F -Au 174 , <br />Mr. McKirchy distributed maps to the Board and pointed out a <br />40 by 700 -foot parcel above the railroad right of way. In his <br />opinion, that parcel is too narrow to be developed, and if property <br />does not benefit it cannot legally be assessed. He then directed <br />the Board's attention to the other parcel that is owned by his <br />client. He indicated that the boundary lines of the assessment <br />area have caused that parcel to have an odd configuration, making <br />it unsuitable for industrial development. He requested the County <br />to consider the possibility of increasing the size of the area <br />designated for industrial use and reducing the size of the area <br />designated for low intensity residential use. If the Board decides <br />to go forward with the current plan, he requested that his client's <br />40 x,700 foot tract be deleted from the assessment area. <br />It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the <br />Chairman closed the public hearing. <br />Director Keating confirmed that the total size of the urban <br />service area is about 1,000 acres. <br />Director Pinto agreed that the estimated cost per square foot <br />has almost doubled because one side of 102nd Terrace is not being <br />assessed. However, expanding the utility lines more than several <br />hundred feet east or west beyond 102nd Terrace would result in a <br />major increase in the total cost of the project with little or no <br />reduction in the assessment per square foot. <br />Discussion ensued, and Director Keating confirmed that the <br />project will be delayed for several months if major changes are <br />made. <br />Chairman Bird suggested there might be a way to go ahead and <br />start the project and make adjustments later if necessary, but he <br />did not feel that the County should do anything to jeopardize the <br />potential CARL acquisition. He requested staff to prepare detailed <br />maps for the Board's reference when this hearing is continued next <br />week. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously agreed to <br />continue this public hearing on Tuesday, August 17, <br />1993 at 9:05 a.m. <br />26 <br />
