<br /> CASS COUNTY ROADWAY 18 EXTENSION STUDY – CASS COUNTY, <br />ND <br /> <br />44 <br /> <br />Figure 21. Decision Tree for Future Phases <br />7.4 ALIGNMENT ALTERNATIVE ATTRIBUTES AND CRITERIA FOR <br />ANALYSIS <br />Throughout this study and the public input process, several questions were asked about specific <br />alternative attributes and criteria that should be considered for analysis of alternatives. Specific areas of <br />concerns were identified during the public input process; ROW impacts and acquisition, drainage and <br />flooding impacts, and costs of construction. The three items previously mentioned will be further <br />discussed within this section of the report. <br />7.4.1 RIGHT-OF-WAY IMPACTS AND ACQUISITION <br />All of the build alternatives included in this report will required different amounts of ROW from adjacent <br />landowners. The County has a defined process that is followed for any ROW acquisition that follows a <br />defined process for appropriately informing and compensating landowners that may be have property that <br />is proposed to be acquired. In addition to the established ROW acquisition process the County follows, <br />the County will work with property owners to minimize any disruption to structures, landscaping or other <br />items that the owner would like to maintain. <br /> <br />The amount of ROW necessary to be acquired for each alternative is shown in the figures included for <br />each alternative. Due to the scope of work for this study, the amount of ROW necessary is only an <br />estimate and not to be considered a design level quantity.
