II. Marion Bone property:
• Arnold and Charlotte Del Hierro were present to discuss the Marion Bone property
(Mrs. Del Hierro's mother) at the north-west corner of Glade and Bluebonnet. The
Sidewalk Task Force has considered putting a walk along the Glade Road
frontage of this tract. The Task Force discussed the potential for changes to
Glade Road -such as reducing the size of the hill at Bluebonnet, and eventually
installing a traffic light at this location. The Del Hierro's wish to save as many
trees as possible and the Task Forced concurred with this. They also intend to
rebuild their fence to put up a "horse fence" using landscaping timber and smooth
wire versus barbed wire.
• It was mentioned that the drainage of the D. R. Horton site and Duke's pond are
problems because of the springs in the area.
• Niederauer agreed to check on the culvert length /design for the new intersection
of the River Walk drive with Glade Road.
• Ms. Manion requested that the staff get an estimate to survey both sides of the
remaining parts of Glade Road from Bluebonnet to Bedford Road.
• Ms. Moore mentioned that we need to do both sides of Glade at the crossing with
Bluebonnet.
III. Behrens Property:
Ms. Manion asked about a date for meeting with the Behrens to resolve the
purchase of right-of-way across their property. The Task Force requested that
Manion and Atwood be included in meetings with Mr. Behrens. It was noted that we
need to push now to get this project included in next year's budget.
IV. Cavalino Park escrow:
Niederauer reported on the escrow for both of the tracts at Bedford Rd., Village
Park and Glade Road which were (are) developed by the same person. Apparently
(see handout) the money put up for the sidewalk-perimeter fees, etc. was then used
by the city to buy back the additional right-of-way needed to rebuild this
intersection.
