e Mrs. Robert Self, 1395 Bond Lane, did not like the way this was handled. She understood that the City required 50 percent of the property owners to request the street improvement. She did not understand why they should pay for a road that was necessary for the developer to develop his land. Public hearing was opened on the paving for Project 10. Speaking in favor of the project was: Peter Ogan, 2096 Broadview, representing three families on Broadview, objected to the dust and dirt in the summer, and mud in the winter. He felt that, as a taxpayer, it was not unreasonable to ask for an improved street. Speaking against the project were: Kathleen Springate, 2095 Broadview, who objected to the street improve- ment on the grounds that the street was adequate and that they would be assessed $7,500. She said they would have to close off one of their driveways because the street height would make the driveway unusable. She said that 52 percent of the land along the street was owned by people who did not want the improvement. - Paul Hobo, 2090 Broadview, stated that his street is paved and he is happy with it. He did not want to pay $2,700 to repave the stree~. The height and width of the street design were not to his liking, and did not fit in with what is now there. He urged the City to start at the Springate's driveway and to make a short street. Public hearing was closed on Items 6 and 10, there being no further testimony. Mr. Allen, commenting on the Bradley Street project, said that the City Council respects the right of an individual to withdraw their name. That has nothing to do with the process. The contract would mean that the City was within their rights to assess the property owners. We would still recommend that project on the condition that the developer is responsible for the deferred assessments. Mr. Allen, commenting on Item 10, Broadview, said that the comments were similar to the ones in 1969. One curb would be higher than the other for drainage, no storm sewer being added. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to award low bids as recommended, with the conditions set forth by Mr. Allen on Item 6 concerning street dedication, and the deferred assessments. Motion carried, all Councilors present voting aye, except Ms. Miller voting no. - 5/14/79--9 2~
