He indicated what is driving the cost up is when the road is divided, it doubles the cost of the concrete. The cost would be less than a million on a 60 ft. curb and gutter street and may go as wide as 76 ft. for same cost. Issues that were addressed were the four lane divided boulevard. Mr. Sable's property on the west side and Mr. Lane's property and the easements that each one is willing to grant. Mr. Lane is willing to grant a 76 ft. easement and would consider 90 ft. depending on the size of the road. County Commissioner Krueger suggested that once they break pass the three lane they should consider going urban. Mr. Krueger indicated savings would be considerable. Jack Biggerstaff expressed the four, three, two lane concepts works for them and they would like to see this take place. Discussion continued concerning the deceleration and turn lanes. Jeff Krueger indicated the County might come up with a half a million dollars to help with the road. Jeff Krueger continued to explain where all the sources of funding would be allocated from. He expressed that he felt he would have support from the Commissioner's Court since they are his funds to use in his precinct. Mayor Kincaid indicated that about 6 months ago he and Jeff Krueger visited and Jeff had advised him he had some funds earmarked for Sanger. Jeff had asked him where would Sanger like those funds spent and the Mayor had advised to earmark them for the school improvements on the road. Discussion proceeded with the cost of laying the water and sewer lines. Jack Biggerstaff asked council if they would consider bearing cost to lay water and sewer lines to the new school. Mayor Kincaid advised that this would have to be an agenda item for the next regular scheduled meeting. Discussion proceeded that if the school paid for the water and sewer improvements how could they recoup their cost from future development. Board members also discussed how the sewer line needed to be put in before the road is built. 3. Any Other Such Matters. None. 4.
