• • <br />Mr. Wiggins proposed that the County pave the road, assess the people, and have it <br />be settled since most of the people agree with the paving. It seemed to him that he was not <br />able to get the message through in spite of all his efforts. He believed the County could <br />come up with a decent amount that most of the people would not mind paying. <br />Public Works Director James W. Davis reviewed his memorandum of February 13`h, <br />2001: <br />TO: James Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. <br />Public Works Director <br />SUBJECT: Petition to Pave 11`" Street SW <br />Oslo Park Subdivision between <br />17`" Avenue and 9th Court SW <br />RE: Letter from Joe Wiggins to County Commissioners <br />Received February 9 2001 <br />DATE: February 13, 2001 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />Joe Wiggins, resident of Oslo Park Subdivision, has requested to speak during the <br />February 20, 2001 Board meeting regarding the status of a petition to pave 11"' Street SW <br />between 17" Avenue SW and 9th Court SW (approximately 1 mile). Since 1993 County <br />staff has assisted Mr Wiggins in trying to obtain a valid petition to pave 111h Street SW. <br />On December 8, 1998, a letter was sent to all 44 property owners along 11'" Street SW <br />requesting that they indicate their willingness to participate in a special assessment <br />program to pave 11th Street SW. Only 8 responded in favor of the special assessment <br />paving and 2 were against. Thirty-four inquires were not returned. At this time, a valid <br />petition has not been received. In early 1999, staff initiated a CDBG program application <br />study for road paving in Oslo Park. However, grants for road paving only are difficult to <br />obtain and the project was ceased. Staff has informed Mr. Wiggins that only 35 feet of <br />right-of-way exists along 11`" Street SW. All property owners along the north side of 11'" <br />Street SW (unpiatted side) were contacted to see if they would donate nght-of-way for road <br />paving. Positive response was not received. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />Staff has not received a valid petition signed by 66.6% of the property owners fronting 11th <br />Street SW. To pave the road, additional right-of-way and stormwater treatment area is <br />needed. Staff has a few high traffic roads in the County in residential areas where paving <br />is cntically needed. These roads are as follows: <br />March 6, 2001 <br />75 <br />6R IE PG 3311 <br />
