He stated that Medina would possibly improve their sections of the road in 1992
and 1995 according to City road specifications for a 7 ton road. He explained
the assessment procedure used by the City.

assess the Medina property owners at the time that Corcoran improves the road

the road.

addition that use Hackamore Rd. He stated that they would like some commitment

road will be taken in October for construction in the spring of 1989. He stated
that they are not asking for a firm commitment from Medina at this time.
Corcoran plans to assess the residents on the north side of Hackamore at the
time that Medina builds their portion of the road.

Glenn Cook stated that Medina calls these roads 7 ton so that they can be posted
in the spring.

of Medina residents on the road versus the number of Corcoran residents ussing the road.
Larry Elwell, 6125 Hwy. 101, stated that there was no benefit to him at this time,
when there were no great numbers of Medina residents using the road and when the
City requires a commercial establishment in Hamel to have a 9 ton driveway for
delivery vehicles and Corcoran is planning a 7 ton through road.
Thomas Anderson asked if Mr. Elwell objected to Corcoran doing their part of the road
or if Medina should not commit to doing its portion.

the road sooner than planned.
Clint Eide, 1555 Hackamore Rd. stated that the only residents benefitting from the

11. ROLLING HILLS ROAD INFORMATION MEETING 9:00 P.M.

because Corcoran plans to improve their portion of the road they are looking for some
sort of agreement with Medina for the 300 feet.

such as Corcoran annexing the road easement, assessing Medina properties at such
time as they need access to the road, or allowing Corcoran to annex the -parcel to
the west which is part of a larger parcel in Corcoran.
___ ± Robert Mitchell stated that he was concerned about charging a connection charge
versus an assessment.

exit onto Rolling Hills Rd. and the property to the west is part of a larger
parcel in Corcoran and would probably be assessed by Corcoran.

base work.
Jim Dillman stated that it would cost $5,000.

Corcoran City Council.

similar to this area. He asked if giving Corcoran a specified amount would be
a solution.
Glenn Cook stated that it would cost about $25,000 per one section of the road
or $100,000 total.
Jim Johnston stated that the City does not have funds to pave the entire length
of the road. He also stated that Medina could vacate their half of the road
right-of-way so that Corcoran could put Hackamore on the County State aid system.
Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Theis to send a letter to the City of Corcoran
explaining the Council's consensus regarding rolling Hills Rd. and an agreement
to pay $100,000 for their paving 1.8 miles of road from Hwy. 101 to .8 mile
