Njilfil1 <br />C. The project had not been adequately described. There is confusion <br />between the temporary setback ordinance and street widening issues. <br />R: (Martinez) Described R.O.W. alternatives for each side of the street. <br />Q: What will happen to street width south of Warner? Will a bottleneck be <br />created? Widening for new trees and landscaping is a bad idea. <br />R: (Betts) No alternative has been selected. There may or may not be <br />landscaped medians. <br />Q: What happens when the project substantially affects a property? <br />R: (Green) The City may acquire the entire parcel in that case. <br />Q: Had the City ever considered widening Bristol Street in previous years? <br />R: (Betts) The widening has been a long- standing goal of the City. <br />C: The people had previously been told that the EIS had not yet been <br />started, but tonight it was stated that the EIS was started last May. <br />Q; How wide will the travel lanes be? <br />R: (Egger) A standard lane is 12' wide. Narrower .lanes are sometimes <br />used. <br />R. (Dee) Roadway design will be addressed in the EIS. <br />Q: The project will not be an adequate solution to the traffic problem. <br />Does the sale of property with knowledge of the proposed project place a <br />legal liability on the seller? <br />P.: (Massa- bavitts) The panel is not qualified to answer legal questions. <br />Q: Is the landscaped median being considered with limited access to <br />prop- <br />erty along <br />the street? <br />R: (Alvarez) <br />Access points and possible <br />limitations on access are not <br />known yet <br />in the median alternative. <br />C: Businesses <br />need slow traffic speeds, not <br />faster through traffic. <br />Fast <br />traffic is <br />also dangerous to slow- driving <br />patrons attempting to <br />access <br />businesses <br />on Bristol. Opening other <br />streets which are now <br />closed <br />should be <br />considered as an alternative. <br />Fairview should be widened to <br />help distribute <br />traffic amongst streets. <br />C: Widening the street will not reduce traffic congestion. Schools along the <br />street will be less safe for children. Traffic options on Flower and <br />other streets should be addressed. Properties will be difficult to sell <br />due to the impending project. The appraised value of the property will <br />be reduced. <br />R: (Green) The dedication of needed R.O.W. is already required with the <br />development of property. Property value does not change because of <br />such a project. <br />C: A socio - economic study should be undertaken for the proposed project. <br />Q: When there is little income from a property, how will the appraisal be <br />affected? <br />R: (Green) The appraisal is based upon the income potential of the <br />property at its highest and best use. <br />C: Properties will be difficult to lease or rent in the interim due to the <br />impending project. <br />75C -362 <br />
