The County had contended that the noise level would be satisfactory if the proposed noise barrier was constructedp Mr. Iierbert Klossner, County Engineer, introdwed the'Chief Rtght-0%-Nay Agent and the Relocalion Agent of the County. concerning action taken by the Council in approving Layout 23B, which expressed hLs concern that action reqclested by the City with respect to the taking of the houses would cause a delay in awarding the contract. This delay, he contended, could mzke the project the loss of Federal funds for the project. Nr. Klossner showed a layout of the highway from Maloney Ave. to Spruce Road which indicated that a service road would 'be constructed between existing houses and the highway, and said that the Highway Departnent firmly believes that it can meet the Federal Highway Adminis- traeion noise level requirement through the construction of sound barriers at ap- propriate locations. to2 Ave. were 78 decibels during the a.m, peak hours and 73 decibels during the p.m. peak hours, the am. peak hours and 70 decibels during the p.m. peak hours. said that, even though it is projected that 1985 traffic voluiiies will be almost three times the present volumes, the center line of the proposed County Road 18 wiil be twice as far from residential property as it exists today, which facts ??odd account for the reduced noise levels. Mr. Klossner szid that the County estixates'that direct cost to the County for the acquisition of tle seventeen 'names and ths relocation of twenty-Evc families would be $750,000, which costs are not: eligible for Federal-Aid funding Eind that delay in construction could increase construction costs from five to ten percent, which vould represeat a cmsiderable sum when the total cost: of 'this project is considered. tha County cannot justify this additional cost. Mr. Rlossner also questioned whether condemnation of the adjacent houses wodd be allowed by the Courts has- zych as there is no actual physical taking required for constructing i;he highwhy. Srr response to Councilnan Courtney's question as to whether or not a property omier might lose economically if his Some should be* taken, Mr. Klossaer said that, generally, the differential in inortgage interest rates would be assumed but that ari inzrosse ii; real estate taxes and utilities would not be recoverable. He emphasized thzt it is iegally required to maintain the noise level rio higher tha 70 decibels. tkexe is -Jery little difference in the noise level'in concrete or biturninow surzzce and that, at this time, it has not beTn decided as to which surEacing iqi:l. be used.

Kchael McGlenEon, owner of 421-423 Washington Ave,, asked who w'tll coinpensate hiia for ths loss of aesthetic valce of his property, Mr. Erickson replied that property vziue would be based on the market value before and after construction of the highway and that everything that is used to establish market value will be considered. As requested by Xr.
