Mr. Anderson moved seconded by Mrs. Lauris to approve the petition. Motion carried. 2 4. Paving, sanitary and storm sewers on 1st Avenue from west boundary of 1st Addition to Universal Industrial Park to Seneca Road - 65% petition. The Public Works Depart- ment reported the City's share' of paving (in excess of 44 feet) would be $4,700.00 plus $29,000.00 for storm sewer. Councilwoman Lauris asked how this would be financed, and the City Manager replied that since the project does not f~ 1 in the category of subdivisions it would be paid for from sewer bond funds. Mr. Anderson moved seconded by Mrs. Lauris to approve the petition. Motion carried. ORDINANCES 3 Council Bill No. 8483 - Levying assessments for paving and sanitary sewer on 11th Avenue from Garfield Street to Seneca Road, submitted and read the first time in full on May 13, 1968 and held over to this meeting to allow proper notice of assessment to be given owners of affected properties, was brought back for consideration with no written protest on file. Councilman Wingard left the meeting. Mr. Anderson moved seconded by Mrs. Lauris that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. Bob Scott, 3780 West 11th, said the stub for sewer connection was installed at the opposite end of the property from where the line runs from the house. The Public Works Director explained the procedure followed in locating stubs. He said either the property owner had asked for it at the location, or there had been no response from the property owner and the engineers had located it at the most likely place. Fred Schulke, 2891 West 11th, objected to the assessment against his property for the West 11th proj- ect. He said his building was already connected to a sewer on 10th Place and it was his understanding the assessment for that sewer was included in the price of his property. The Public Works Director explained that the Schulke property is 397 feet deept and is therefore assessed to a depth of 160 feet from each sewer line. Al Masengil, 2940 West 11th (Aerolite Neon), said West 11th was a good paved street prior to this widening project but that the assessment amounted to as much as it would be for a new street. He called attention to a manhole cover in the center of his driveway where he said there is no manhole, and said that there is considerable flooding during rainy periods. The Public Works Director said the actual cost of the project is less than estimated when the contract was awarded, and that the flooding condition would be investigated. Mrs. Louise Nickels, 2111 West 11th, said she felt the cost of street improvement should be borne by the general public since it is an arterial street. Mr. Blackstone, Emerald Auto Service at 2889 West 11th, objected to the amount of assessment and said his driveway was not restored to its original condition. He questioned the use of funds derived from the water/sewer user charge. The City Manager explained the formula used in assessment for street improvements in commercial, industrial, and residential zones. He also pointed out that replacing driveways would increase individual assessments in the overall project, whereas not every property would have driveway replacement. Also, he explained the use of funds derived from the water/sewer user charge. Janice White, owner of property at the intersection of Buck Street and 11th Avenue, said her property was assessed in error. The Public Works Director said this intersection is offset, that the City paid half of the Buck Street intersection and half the Seneca Road intersection, so that the frontage in Mrs. White's ownership on 11th is properly assessed. Mr. Anderson moved seconded by Mrs. Lauris that the bill be read the third time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was read the third time by council bill number only. Mr, Anderson moved seconded by Mrs. Lauris that the bill be approved and given final passage. Rollcall vote. All councilmen present voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 15362. 4 Council Bill No. 8484 - Replaced by Council Bill No. 8550 submitted and read the first time in full on May 27, 1968. 5 Council Bill No. 8485 - Levying assessments for sanitary sewer in BD-67-l7 (bounded by east/west section line common to Sections 27 and 34 and Sections 26 and 35, T17S, R4W, W.M.; McKinley Street; Amazon Channel; and Belt Line Road), submitted and read the first time in full on May 13, 1968 and held over to this meeting to allow proper notice of assessment to be given owners of affected proper- ties, was brought back for consideration with no written protests on file. 6/10/68 - 14 .....
