The attached retter from smilen Building corporation requests thatthe city of Dani-a return funds amounti.ng- to szooo-in1"n *e.ecollected from this^ f ir.m for the purpose oi paving an aIIey. Theal1ev is part of Block 3 of Town ana county eltii.=- ni i.r, isbounded by s-E. 7th street, s.E. r.oth street, s.E. 3rd Avenue andS.E.3rd Street.
There are unusual circumstances in this situaEion i.n that notenough money uras collected to cover the cost of paving the all-ey.The cost of paving the a11ey was previousty estimateO-at ifO,OOO.This amounts to 5800 per 1ot. The fee was to be paid at Ehe tlmethe Certif icat.e of Occupancy was issued. An updated estimated forpaving the al-Iey is.StA,000. fhe City has collected onfy SSZOO ofthe required S18,000 and SZ6OO ,ui paid by Srii".' iuildinqCorporation. The City failed to coLlect any money on the homesconstructed by Raynor Builders as is indicat;d in if," N""",nf". A,1988 memo from Laurence Leeds. one vacant 108 remains on theb1ock.
The Ci-ty commissi-on should discuss options on handling thissiruarion. one opri-on_ is _r,o nor requj.re pu"ing- "f
'lf,JTii"v u"orefund the funds paid for 12 of the ZO lot" on the b1ock. Anotheroption would be to conside-r vacati-ng the alrey if the owners do notHant the arrey on their block and petition f-or vacatior-. - -rn tni"case a utiLity easement would need to be reserved as the-re areunderground telephone lines and cable television lines in thea11ey.- Another option would be to attempt to corlect the fundsfrom the occupants of the homes which have not pai.d a fair sharefor lhe construction of the a11ey. This is .".pri.ui"J u]v-
-rt," ru.tEhat the original builder, Raynor Builders. cannot be located. Itis also further complicated ihat at Ieast three Certificates ofoccupancy Here granted .Hi-thout paying for the a:.f ev piioi to therequi-rement for paving- the alrey. iastly ttrere a'rJ iour nomeswhich have noE received certlficites of occupancy which r becameaware of in researching this issue. The minutes of the November22, 1988 city commission minutes indicate the occupant" oi th.".homes shouLd be given_ the opportunity to pay their alley fees andrecei've Eheir c.o-'s before bej-nq ciied for a vj.oration. AnoEheroption is to have the city pay thl difference from funds colrectedand the cost to pave the arley. There may be other opiions wtricrrthe City Commisslon would suggest.

There are not sufficient funds to construct the alley from themoney posted by deveLopers. The Cit!' Commiss j.on needs to decide ift.here should be a paved alley or no!. ff the decision is to pavethe a1]ey then there needs to be direction on how to pay for thisimprovement
