He introduced Bert Teitzel, Public Works, to provide information. Mr. Teitzel stated they would like to recommend Item 2 since they have found additional funds and could take advantage of the State Highway Funds Matching Grant. On three of the paving projects, Pattison, Fuller, and Dove Lane, correspondence has been received indicating that Carl Petersen would like to withdraw his name from the petition. Staff would recommend this not be allowed since approval of the subdivision development requires the developer to assume e these costs.

She feels this- proposal would make the street more hazardous.

She is afraid this will make the street too narrow. -- 6/23/80--11
