. property which made that available for a good part of the extra right-of-way needed and so we had only one other property owner to deal with in this case, and it was not developed property. That was a key factor, that it was not developed. ACTING MAYOR WOODBURN: If you have any comments or name and address. The meeting is now open for comments. questions, could you rise, state your MR. ARTHUR FREICHELS, 1292 Nursery Hill Lane: Are the lots there the only ones to be assessed for the improvements? Because I live on Nursery Hill Lane and I do have a letter. MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: The let 'Ers that were sent out to people on Nursery Hill Lane were for informational purposes, and I doubt they would be assessed for this improvement. MR. POPOVICH: The legal description was broader, and the notice went out to more people than the existing lots that we have been discussing. It's broad enough and, as you know, when you order an improvement if there were some benefit to these other people then obviously you could consider the assessment, and that's one reason why they received the notice. On the other hand, there was no intention in our presentation as we saw it, and as the engineer saw it, to assess anybody other than the particular lots we have addressed ourselves to. . MR. CHARLES AMBLE, 1211 Amble Road: First of all, I would like to straighten out the record. Somehow or another I was construed as saying - making some remark to the effect that people on Nursery Lane.were objecting to this entry on Amble Road. I did not say that and I did not mean that. I appreciate all the effort that was put into this thing by the engineers here, but somehow I feel that this strip ,of land,- I would like to have the second slide that you have up there. This particular strip of land in here is a wooded section that I feel is being abused. This road - proposed road that you have going through here will reduce this from a five-lot plot to a three-lot plot which is a considerable loss, plus the fact you're landlocking it, or arranging it in such a way to also reduce its value some more, plus the fact we're going to get some more assessments. We've been burned with assessments to the point where we can't stand any more. There are a number of people in our community who are out of their element in talking about these things and all they do is get hung with these assess- ments. I further feel - and I'm not talking about Nursery Lane - I further feel Amble Road has enjoyed the privacy of a dead-end road for ,some time and I just don't feel that a group of people should come out and design something like this and deadlock or phony up something to make a pleasant thing for themselves and to hell with you, and come out on Amble Road without some kind of round-table discussion before all this expense is brought about with the engineers of our village, so I object to the whole thing. 7
