The street was washed out in June when flood waters from Barnard Creek cascaded down the street. Mayor Neil Blackburn said the city plans to repave the street with concrete. The street will be used as an overflow system to handle flood waters from Barnard Creek should the creek overflow again. The cost to pave the street will run about $90,000. The city will use an inverted crown design on the street where water will flow to the center of the street and the sides of the street will be elevated. Even though the flood water will be diverted down the street, he said residents would still be able to drive up the sides of the $ A RON KNOWLTON ' J f NSr I meeting said they were concerned their property values would decrease as a result of the citys plan for the street and that it would be difficult to sell their homes should they decide to move. Tom Feil said he felt the city was making a big expenditure in the wrong place. He suggested the city make repairs to Barnard Creek so that the creek bed will be able to handle large flows of water. Jim Didericksen said the property owners on Barnard Creek do not live by the creek. We didnt buy by the stream, we dont enjoy the advantages of the stream. It seems in the future well reap the bed side of the creek while theyll (property owners by the creek) will reap the good. He said the city should build a box culvert. David Youngberg said that with the new design of the street he is concerned for the safety of 125 children who live on the street. He said residents dont the street design. . Blackburn said the city wants to design its roads and create flood control measures so that city streets will not suffer the severe damage they did during the recent flooding. He said the sides of the canyons along many of the creeks are very unstable and could cause mudslides. A lot of that information never got to you because we didnt want to unduly alarm you," Blackburn said. He said the city is proposing many major creek channel revisions. Didericksen said he had heard property values on the street could devalue by as much as ten to 15 percent. He said it would not be fair for property owners to suffer a devaluation in property values while those living along the creek enjoy an nyons in the city as possible to help with flood control. He said the city is physically limited in enlarging the creek in many areas. Also the city has acquired few easements along the creek. Blackburn said the city would review problems with liability and property devaluation, however, before a definite decision on the street design is made. Randy Randall, public works , director, said it would cost $90,000 to pave the street with concrete. FEMA would likely help with 75 percent of that cost, he added, with the state supplying the rest of the funds. Blackburn said the city would only use the street to divert water as a last resort when all other avenues prove ' ineffective. said the city could begin increase in their property rebuilding the road within 45 to values.

Saif Lake Wants RDA Continued From Page 1A The fourth plan, which Graves feels is the best possible strategy, would be to establish an RDA. Then the city would have full blown control over the area to develop it in a way which would benefit everyone, he said. Are residents in favor of an RDA? I have consulted with residents in the area, said Graves, and they are anxious to have new streets and curbs and gutters and sidewalks. Most citizens would be very supportive. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain. He asserted that opponents of , RDAs are usually school districts, counties, or cities who would lose tax money. Any tax on the increased value on property because of improvements cannot by law go to school disn tricts or counties or other entities under terms of RDA development. Increment taxes go to the RDA to retire bonds. tax-ru- ; I i ;.

Homes and lots in the lower triangle have been purchased, and a city hall committee has been presenting the proposed structure to residents in neighborhood meetings through July, with a favorable response from citizens.' Steps the city will be taking next to establish the RDA, according to Graves, include ac 292-659- 9 Lakeside Review ments. Then, parcel by parcel, areas which need improvement will be defined. The type of commerce needed for that location will be decided and then businessmen will receive help from the RDA in building and construction.
