J U L 51994 8M 92 fxE 767 HELEN GLENN BRICK DRIVEWAY ENTRANCE STRUCTURE - CHERRY LANE PETITION PAVING PROTECT The Board reviewed the following memo dated June 27, 1994: TO.- James E. Chandler, County Administrator DATE: June 27, 1994 FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Director 7§? SUBJECT: Helen Glenn Brick Driveway Entrance Structure - Cherry Lane Petition Paving Project REF. LETTER: 1) James Davis to George Glenn dated 6-8-94 .2) George Glenn to James Davis dated 6-16-94 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Last September, the -County completed right-of-way acquisition along Cherry Lane (33rd -Street) between 58th Avenue and 66th Avenue. The last three right-of-way parcels acquired belonged to the family of Helen Glenn. Local Attorney George Glenn represents the family. The County offered the appraised. value, $5,413.56, but the Glenn family requested compensation in the amount of $7,070.16 to offset all assessments to their properties. Three individual agreements were executed by the County and the Glenn family members owning the three parcels. The agreement between Helen Glenn and the County contained a provision that the County would pay to relocate two brick driveway entrance structures. Mrs. Glenn provided the staff with a written estimate by R.G.--Thomas;--Mason Contractor, to rebuild the structures at a cost of $4,460.00. In preparing the project cost estimate and assessment roll, staff used a cost of $5,000 to replace the structures. At this time, Mr. Thomas, the Mason Contractor, has retired and will not perform the work for the $5,000 estimated cost. Two other contractors, Walker Construction and Fersch Construction, have submitted prices of $9,387 and $17,325 respectively. Staff offered to pay to Mrs. Glenn the $5,000 instead of rebuilding the structure. She has agreed to take monetary compensation instead of having the structures rebuilt, but has requested payment in the amount of $7,000. Staff requested that she reconsider the $5,000 offer due to the fact that once the project preliminary assessment roll is approved by the Board, additional public hearings, registered letters notifying the benefitted owners of the cost inorease, public advertisements, etc. may be required. Mrs. Glenn has indicated that she still requests $7,000 compensation. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Staff offers the following alternatives: Alternative No. 1 Approve the $7,000 requested compensation to Mrs._ Glenn. Alternative No. 2 Relocate the structures. Staff has been advised that the existing bricks need to be removed carefully and reused in building the structure or old antique bricks of equal value to the same dimension be used. Also, the work must be performed by a licensed mason and bricklayer. 36
