City Manager Callinan,advised that the City had applied for federal funds, for flood disaster, and that the status of the application looked promising. Project No. 1968 -1 City Manager Callinan advised that he had been in contact Coddingland with the. Division of Highways, and they had informed him that the plans for on -off ramps would be completed in June. The funds for the ramps will be included in the 1970 -71 budget. The.City,Manager also advised that the matter was discussed with Senator Collier, and the Senator advised that as soon as the plans were received in Sacra- mento he would assist in expediting the project. Public Hearing Mayor Rogers declared open the public hearings on the Coddingland Engineer's Report, which was continued from April 7th Project 1968 -1 and on the changes and modifications. Consulting Engineer Hudis gave a detailed description of the property in the assessment district owned by Messrs. Anderson, Groom, Codding and Knudtsen, and the City of Rohnert Park to be assessed. Engineer Hudis advised that Page -5- April 21, 1969 the new frontage road would provide improved access, drain- age, and better traffic conditions. He advised that the street would have curb and gutter on one side and an A.C. berm on the other and that the frontage road would be in- creased in size by the State to a 64' wide paved area. Councilman Buchanan Councilman Buchanan arrived at this point in the meeting, Arrives the time being approximately 7 :45 p.m. Engineer Hudis reviewed the revised assessment figures included in his revised "Engineer's Report ". Bond Counsel Philip Assaf was present and explained the changes in the project and the method of spreading the assessment. He advised that copies of all items referred to such as the Engineer's Report, boundary map, and assess- ment diagram are on file in the City Clerk's office. City Manager Callinan read written protests received in response to the original Public Hearing on the project; a letter dated March 110 1969 from Paul Golis representing Anderson, protesting assessment on any and all of the .Anderson- property; letter dated February 17, 1969 from Mr. & Mrs. Knudtsen protesting any and all assessments on their property. Mr. Norman McPhail was present and presented the Council with Stone & Youngberg's proposal for the bonds on Codding- land, Project 1968 -1. City Manager Callinan read the letter presented by Stone & Youngberg; and also advised the Council, with Mr. McPhail's approval, that the letter received from Alan Hart of the State Division of Highways regarding the construction of the on -off ramps was accept - able to Stone & Youngberg, therefore satisfying Item No. 11 of the Stone & Youngberg conditions of the bond proposal. Bond Counsel Assaf noted that the assessment figures on Items Nos. 9 and 10 in the letter were incorrect, and suggested that these be corrected before Council's accept - ance of the bond bid. In regard to Item No. 12 of the Stone & Youngberg condi- tions of the bond bid, Bond Counsel could not advise award- ing a contract until Assembly Bill No. 76 had been signed by the Governor. This bill, if not signed by the Governor, will greatly effect funding for highway construction. Mr. Assaf questioned Items No. 5 and 6 in the letter from Stone & Youngberg regarding the two parcels owned by the City, and payment of assessment. City Attorney Maxwell questioned the City's budget being able to finance the $5,000 per year plus interest and principal, but was ad- vised by the City Manager that this amount would not create an insoluable problem with City finances. Recess Reconvene Project 1968 -1 Page -ad April 21, 1969 Mr. Richard Codding, representing Codding Enterprises, was present and stated that they were very much in favor of the project going ahead and that Stone & Youngberg's bid on the bonds was acceptable as to terms but that he would like to see Item No. 11 cleared -up. Mr. Assaf advised that Item No. 11 of the Stone & Young- berg letter could be crossed out and changes made in assess- ment figures and initialed by Mr. McPhail. Mr. McPhail agreed to do so. Mr. Paul. Golis, officially speaking for Messrs. Knudtsen and Anderson, advised the Council that Mr. Knudtsen and Mr. Anderson were out of the country and were not aware of the changes in the assessment figures. He also stated he could not see how the Anderson or Knudtsen properties were being improved as both properties now have a frontage road. Mr. James Groom was present and advised the Council that he did not write a letter opposing the original assessment before the public fearing. He further advised that his property, Assessment No. 2 now has a frontage road, and the proposed change in the frontage road will mean that the road will be moved to the rear of his property in that the road will be built in the back of the property in- stead of in the front. He indicated that he hopes that something can be done and another hearing set because he will end un with 2910 feet of access on the back corner of property; he will wind up with nothing and be assessed $20,000; he cannot see how the Council can set hearing without more maps and more time; and asked that they do not override the protests and reach a final determination without due process and arbitration. Mr. Richard Codding advised that he, as the official re- presentative of Codding Enterprises, was glad that at last everything was ready to move forward on the project, one he was sure all know means a great deal to the future of Rohnert Park. He indicated he would hate to see the pro- ject delayed any further, and would hate to give the State of California anv excuses not to spend their funds in Rohnert Park and that it was necessary to put in the front- age road so that State can put in the on -off ramps of the interchange. He further indicated that Codding Enterprises represents well over 75% of the construction contract. Mayor Rogers declared a five minute recess. Mayor Rogers reconvened the meeting with all Councilmen present. The time being approximately 9 :20 p.m. The public hearings on Project 1968 -1 were resumed. Page -5- April 219 1969 Consulting Engineer Hudis, in replying to Mr. Groom'0 comments, indicated that he does not think you can consider the assessment without considering the value of the future interchange. He advised that when the interchange is built, the on and off ramps will wipe out the existing frontage road for the Groom, Anderson and Knudtsen proper- ties and another frontage road must be provided. He advised that not only is the existing frontage road a bad- ly paved road, but it is also not properly drained, and has no curb and gutter; the new frontage road will have curb and gutter, will be wider, and properly drained. Mr. Hudis further stated that Groom, Knudtsen and Anderson properties will no doubt go up considerably in value when the interchange is built and that buildings Mr. Groom builds can still face the freeway, with directional signs acceptable to the City; and that access from freeway is going to be shortened and access to all the property will be easier than the badly paved two -way road. Mr. Groom advised that the Engineer failed to mention that $40,000 worth of roads will provide the same access as now exists; that he will completely loose existing frontage road; cannot see anything wrong with existing frontage road, travels it at 70 mph; and that the planned 4 lane road will make a nice entrance to shopping center; the existing frontage road built by County has much better drainage than Commerce Blvd., built by the City, and he can't understand why he should pay for a road that doesn't drain. He further stated that he would like to see the matter carried over and discussed further. Bond Counsel Assaf advised that unless the Council is will - -ing to continue the public hearing that Mr. Groom should present evidence at this time if he has any to substanti- ate his protest, and that all evidence has to be presented before the Council and that once the public hearing is closed the Council will determine if the project is to go ahead. A'brief discussion followed concerning various methods of Mr. Groom acquiring additional land to provide better access to his present property. Engineer Hudis advised that there is only one building on the Groom property, that the assessment was considered on future development of land, not long range plans of Mx. Grooms'. Mr. Groom stated that the southern portion of the proper- ty is not developed because the City did not know where the frontage road would be built; the building now on the property should not have been built, but the City gave him a building permit so it was built. He further stated he was not interested in the small piece of Anderson property, but possibly that something could be done with Page -6- April 21, 1969 the 1.16 acres owned by the City. He further stated that his was valuable property with sewer and water with an access road, but that he has been unable to develop and that if somebody wants to buy this puce of n nparty it is for sale; he wishes someone would prove that value on the -oroDert.v would increase; it would be a long time for value to come back to property owners. Mr. Groom further stated that if they would build the frontage road back where it is now he will accept the assessment. The Mayor asked if there was anyone else desiring to be heard. Upon motion by Councilman Buchanan, seconded by Councilman Hopkins, and unanimously approved, the public hearings on the Engineer's Report and the changes and modifications of the Coddingland, Unit 1 Assessment District 1968 -1 was ordered closed. Councilman Smith stated that the Council is faced with the first decision of this type. He realizes where improvement> are to be made it is a problem with individuals, and he sympathizes with Mr. Groom's requests, but this frontage road is the major hinge on the interchange to open up the western part of Rohnert Park, and the Council is obligated to proceed with the assessment district.
