Council minutes contd Oct. 21, 1957, 4 p!~'-n.
That the Town or Pulaski un:ier the arox~esa3.d plan t~rould
be requ~.red to participate on a matching funci basis in the constract~on of
Route i3o. 99, the bri~9~~N a.crors the Norfc;.k and %lestern Railroad and,° a
channel change made necessary by the proposed location? of the to•~m*s
Sewage Disposal and Treatment plant a:~ follows:
G. S. Government of cost
State of Virginia 25~ of cost
Town of Pulaski 25 0 of cost
~~.
That under the above formula the Town would br, required t~l pay
at least the sum of $312,500.00 if all the territory requested in they;
_uriginal annexation ordinance was granted by said Sourt; and
That approximately the sum of $187,500.00 of the afoi-~gai '
total cost to the Town would be required of the Tos~m by reason of th
cost involved in the construction of the overhead bridge, the channe~i
change and the cost of approximately 4800 feet of Route No. 99 in- ,;
chided in the territory proposed to be annexed by the original
or~.Lnance of annexation; and
That the main purpose for the Town having included in its':
original ordinance the aforesaid territory aver which Route No. 99,
the bridge and the channel change is proposed, the territory lies
primarily East and South of the Norfolk and Western Railroad, was
to enable the Town to include its proposed Sewage Disposal and Treat~J
ment plant in the annexed territory; and ",f
That by reason of the relocation of Route No. 99, cost ofd'
the bridge and the channel change (made necessary in order to reconc~.e
the plans for the proposed Sewage Disposal and Treatasent plant with ie
• location of the Eighway), all at a very large cost, the Town does no`
deem i.t economical, feasible and proper to now request the annexatio'
of the entire territory asked in the original ordinance; and
That if the annexation lines in this area could be relocated
and re-established as_hereinafter proposed that the,Town would st3.11~+
participate in the construction of appro-.cimately 600 Peet of new
work on Route No. 99 and 4,000 feet on the new Secondary Route 611
(Newbern Road) (to be constructed under Federal Secondary road plan),
alI of No. 611 being left remaining in the territory to be annexed ~;
if said lines are relocated, and approximately 5,200 feet of Route
No. 99 now in the present corporate limits; and
That by reason of this cravings (mane possible by drawings the
annexation line) the Town would be in a position to triore evenly distr~Ibute
its required expenditureof funds for capital outlay for the annexed °'
territory over the entire territory annexed rather than the greatest.
proportion thereof (for capital Watley) for the construction of. road
and bridges in a small portion thereof.
