City Engineer Lawrence submitted two alternates for proportioning the cost of the proposed secondary highway: Alternate I. in which the City would pay the cost difference between the estimated cost of an 80' secondary highway amounting to $6318, whereas the cost of a normal city street having a 601 right-of-way is estimated at $2208, making the City share an estimated $4100; Alternate II, would require the developer to pay 75% of the 80' right- of-way, with the City°s share estimated at 25% of $6318, or $1580. As the developer will benefit considerably by the development of a secondary highway, it is the recommendation of the City Engineer that the City partici- pate according to Alternate II and pay 25% of cost of base and pavement for this 4001 portion of Ninth Street, which will be developed as a secondary highway of 80' right-of-way. The construction of this highway should be 3" of pavement upon 8" base unless the developer submits soil tests to justify a lesser structural section. Mr. Brooks further stated that the owner would prefer Council consideration of the cost of improvements over and above a 60, street. Following discussion, it was Moved by Councilman Memmesheimer, seconded by Councilman Jackson and unanimously carried that the recommendation of the City Engineer for payment of 25% of the cost for the 80' right-of-way be assumed by the City with the developer paying the 75% and that they be notified that the proposal as recommended by the City is favorable to Council. 401.
