following public input received at the November 7, 2000 meeting; and indicated that staff
recommends either Alternative No. 5 which would be the least costly and would encompass
a driveway-type extension across an existing ditch or Alternative No. 2 which would provide
the best standard access as a subdivision-style street down 128th Street and across Harbor
View which would probably be accomplished by petition through the assessment process. He
then displayed photographs of the site and the surrounding area; and in response to queries
by the members, he indicated that Alternative No. 5 would cost approximately $28,000; and
that Alternative No. 2 would require acquisition of two lots which are vacant and for sale.

existing situation in order to move forward with a County recommendation or proposal.
In response to query by Mr. Fontana, Mr. Wicks confirmed that the estimated
cost for Alternative No. 5 is approximately $28,000; and in reply to query by Commissioner
Todd, he related that the only cost to the County for Alternative No. 5 would involve the
extension of pipes which would be done in conjunction with Park Department property.
Commissioner Todd moved, seconded by Commissioner Welch, that the
petition to vacate be denied; and that staff present options to the individuals involved for their
determination.
Following discussion, upon call for the vote, the motion carried unanimously.
