ARCADIA AVENUE AND VERNON AVENUE) Executive Director Hughes recalled that on April 19, 1993, the Council granted Final Development Plan approval for the redevelopment at 50th Street and Arcadia Avenue. At that time, HRA staff recommended that staff be authorized to prepare estimates and solicit bids for boulevard shade trees and public sidewalks on 50th Street and Arcadia Avenue. The HRA did not accept the staff recommendation, preferring to delay authorization of the project until the private property owners had completed the private landscape plans. • Staff believes that it is important that the landscape plans for the public right-of-way and the private properties be coordinated at this time although authorization could be delayed to a future date. Executive Director Hughes asked that staff be authorized to retain a landscape architect for the purpose of preparing a public right-of-way landscape plan for the 50th Street/Arcadia area to be presented to the HRA for project authorization at a future date. In response to Commissioner Smith as to estimated cost, Executive Director Hughes said he believed this work would approximate $5,000. Commissioner Smith commented that he hoped it would not go above that figure. Commissioner Kelly made a motion authorizing staff to retain a landscape architect to prepare landscape plans for right-of-vay landscaping on 50th Street, Arcadia Avenue, and Vernon Avenue. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Smith. Rollcall: Ayes: Kelly, Paulus, Rice, Smith, Richards Motion carried. *CIAIMS PAID Notion was made by Commissioner Paulus and was seconded by Commissioner Kelly to approve payment of ERA claims as shown in detail on the Check Register dated May 12, 1993, and consisting of one page totalling $6,566.84.
