property owners are assessed for appropriate parts of the project cost and that $40 was only a preliminary estimate, He acknowledged that the 19~ administrative figure was not specified in the mailing, although he later stated that it was included within the calculation, He further noted that there were over- runs which added $5,160.71, Of those costs, $$94 was removed because this was a cost absorbed by the City. Mr. Charles Stults lives on the Cul-De-Sac, He stated he thought the over-runs, which he questioned, were the fault of the contractor, He thought the bid should include enough to allow for same errors. He also said that amounts for over-runs should be allowed at the time, not after the contract has been completed. He said he would question things as the project went along. He asked for minor changes with no luck, He also says that he didn't receive calls back from the City Engineer's office . Some of his paints included that a curb cut was moved on East 25th Place 3 feet and 7 inches. He said there was not a proper survey. He said the Cul-De-Sac is too small by 3 feet and asked whether the City will take care of the additional 1~ foot on each side, He next stated that the $160 per month to amortize the cost for Mr, Carlisle to bankroft this assessment is too high, He next stated that he never got letters about the award, He next stated that with regard to his driveway apron, he received a letter from Douglas Webber who was involved in the project. This letter stated that there would be a 5 foot apron and could be done with asphalt, Mr, Stults said he reads the letter to say that the first 5 feet of the apron would be paid for by the City. Mr, Lyle responded that they did allow the 5 fee to be done in asphalt which shows that the City is flexible about these things, but disagrees that the letter suggests the first 5 feet would be paid by the City. A copy of that letter is attached to these Minutes, along with other materials received by the Hearings Officer. Mr, Stults then stated that the driveway is 179 feet from the existing street to end, not 204 feet, He said that storm drain outlets and a curb cut were removed which were perfectly good. Mr, Lyle responded that the assessments are based on the quan- tities of materials used and it was necessary to tie to existing curb and gutter. The City picks up curb and gutter costs when adjusted to a new intersection, Mr. Stults complained that he and others were being charged for _3_ . ~
