DISCUSSION
The Safety Committee for Smithfield Elementary
School appeared before the CIP Committee
requesting sidewalks on the east side of
Smithfield Road. They stated that the cost
would be approximately $10,000 to do this
and that they would like to have the Council
consider this. The CIP Committee stated
that the staff would check out the details
for putting a sidewalk at this location and
report back and this would be an agenda item
for the meeting of January 26, 1987. The
staff report will be given to the Council
before the regular agenda is sent out.
The CIP Committee instructed the staff to
keep working on the right-of-way for Watauga
Road. If the right-of-way was not obtained
by the Fall of 1987, then the staff was to
put this before the Council for condemnation
of all right-of-ways that we had not obtained
for Watauga Road.
The CIP Committee recommended that the following
owners of property of the Starnes Road right-of-
way be placed on the next Council agenda for ,
authorization of condemnation. These owners are
B. R. Seale, W. H. Long, and Goode, Inc. (Henry
Sutton).
Dennis Horvath made a report that this owner's
right-of-way should be in any day now. It was
a matter of their attorney getting the document
and check to the Cranes for their signature.
The CIP Committee also instructed that when we
construct this leg of Hightower Drive that we
consider taking it all the way to the east
boundary of the new box culvert on Hightower
and to activate getting the additional right-
of-way along Hightower.

DISCUSSION
The CIP Committee instructed the staff to
have the Planning and Zoning Commission make
a recommendation to the Council on this
matter and to recommend a change in the
thoroughfare plan.
The CIP Committee recommended that this be
placed on the next Council agenda and
recommended that the Council approve
participation on Holiday Lane to Starnes
Road on the east boundary of the new
school site.
The CIP Committee recommended that we proceed
with engineering and construction of five
signalized intersections within the city.
It was recommended that the Council
approve this project as soon as we have a
cost estimate to do the project and as
soon as several complications are cleared
up on some of the intersections. The
intersections recommended for signalization
are: Starnes Road and Rufe Snow; Starnes
Road and Smithfield Road; College Circle
and Davis Blvd.; Lola and Holiday Lane;
and, Smithfield and Chapman. The
construction of the signal on Starnes and
Rufe Snow will be held up until we get
the City of Watauga to participate
on this intersection. The signal at
Starnes and Smithfield Road will be
held up until Starnes Road is reconstructed
in the near future. There are three
intersections that probably can proceed
at this time without any problems, and
they are: Smithfield and Chapman;
College Circle and Davis; and, Holiday
and Lola.
The CIP Committee recommended that we ask the
County to resurface Hightower (from Rufe Snow
to the west side of the new box culvert) on
Hightower and Douglas Lane (from Hightower to
Starnes Road). This is a budgeted item and
does not require Council approval for the
funding. A letter was to be drafted to the
County Commissioner making this request.
