City Engineer Al Peroutka was present for the staff report. He said council initiated this project on March 7, 1994 and on March 15, 1999 as two separate projects. He said a neighborhood meeting was held and four property owners and one renter attended. At the neighborhood meeting, details of the project were discussed. Street lighting installation, street tree installation, driveway widths and location, mailbox location, and impacts of the project on existing front yard trees; fences and shrubs were all discussed in detail. Mr. Peroutka said there was one concern for trying to save a large 36-inch fir tree at the corner of Water and N Streets. He said staff looked at it and determined that the tree was in the vision clearance area of the intersection, the tree is not on the City's list of acceptable street trees, and there is was a potenti~l for tree root damage when excavation occurs for the curbs and sidewalks which could effect the life and structural stability of the tree. All people present at the meeting were in favor of this project. Mr. Peroutka said council as a supplemental budget item will consider assessment funding in April and grant funding for this CDBG project is included in the FY 2000/01 budget. .
