The City has <br /> since received a remonstrance petition signed by 75 percent of the property <br /> owners. Twenty five percent of the property owners are still in favor of the <br /> improvements. <br /> Mr. Lyle said the improvements will cost an estimated $43 per front foot, <br /> which is less than projects of similar size.

He said one <br /> of the concerns cited by people filing the remonstrance is that they do not <br /> have enough income to support the cost. He said there are provisions in the <br /> City Code that allow deferrals of payment.
