The fee will be added to the Master Fee Schedule through a resolution.
Reconsider & Discuss Decision Items for Project No. SU-2-990(059) – 5th Ave NW Reconstruction
The Commission had further discussion regarding which alternative to proceed with for 5th Ave NW Reconstruction. No parking with a 30’ build is a big concern. Going to a 34’ build would allow for parking on one side of the street. Both alternatives would require removal of the same number of trees.
Commissioner Magnuson left the meeting at 7:35 AM before the motion and roll call.
Commissioner Bishop moved to rescind the motion passed on October 16th and proceed with Alternative C- 34’ build alternative which allows for parking on one side of the street, and the difference in cost for the extra 4’ would be paid with Infrastructure Renew & Replacement Funds and not be special assessed to the property owners along 5th Ave NW, seconded by Commissioner Powell. The motion passed unanimously.
