Home Browse Search

\ � V y '� The proposed intersection improvements significantly impact the properties along Mound Road on the east side of Route 51, primarily as it relates to access. The street improvements will eliminate all left turn access for the Holy Cross Lutheran Church. To remedy this access limitation, the City will be paying for a new entrance for the church further to the east along with some improvement to the church's parking lot to accommodate the new access point. For the church property the City will be paying$3,267 for the right of way and a temporary easement and $19,874 to extend the parking lot approximately 85' to accommodate the new entrance. The church will also allow their west most driveway on Mound Road to be removed from service as part of the street improvement project. To date, right of way has been purchased from the properties located at 3810 Constant View ($435), 3815 Constant View ($11,260), 110 West Mound Road ($3,336), the vacant lot between 110 and 120 West Mound Road ($2,548), 120 West Mound Road ($1,570), 140 West Mound Road ($787.50), and 214 East Mound Road ($35,600). Negotiations are continuing on two remaining right of way parcels needed for the street improvements. The outstanding properties are SBC on the northwest corner of Mound / Rt. 51 and the Remington Apartments across from the former Sunnyside School.
