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