ON §)ci+II'.JI <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,Q.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 />R: (Massa- Lavitts) The panel is not qualified to answer legal questions. <br />Q: Is the landscaped median being considered with limited access to prop- <br />erty along the street? <br />R: (Alvarez) Access points and possible limitations on access are not <br />known yet in the median alternative. <br />C: Businesses need slow traffic speeds, not faster through traffic. Fast <br />traffic is also dangerous to slow - driving patrons attempting to access <br />businesses on Bristol. Opening other streets which are now closed <br />should be considered as an alternative. Fairview should be widened to <br />help distribute traffic amongst streets. <br />C: <br />Widening the street will not reduce traffic congestion. 5choals along <br />the <br />street will be less safe for children. Traffic options on Flower <br />and <br />other streets should be addressed. Properties will be difficult to <br />sell <br />due to the impending project. The appraised value of the property <br />will <br />be reduced. <br />R: <br />(Green) The dedication of needed R.O,W, is already required with <br />the <br />development of property. Property value does not change because of <br />such a project. <br />C: <br />A socio- economic study should be undertaken for the proposed project. <br />Q: <br />When there is little income from a property, how will the appraisal <br />be <br />affected? <br />R: <br />(Green) The appraisal is based upon the income potential of <br />the <br />property at its highest and best use. <br />C: <br />Properties will be difficult to lease or rent in the interim due to <br />the <br />impending project. <br />
