I'- . , . , Mrs. McNiesh reported that her records show that a notice of the feasibility hearing on the proposed Connelly Avenue was sent on January 20, 1978 to J.R.R., Inc., 527 Shoreview Park Street, the same address to which the assessment notice was sent, and that the feasibility hearing notice was never returned. Therefore, she assumed it was delivered. MR. JOHN RYSGAARD, owner of the property at 1253 West Connelly: Objected to the fact that St. Paul Book and Station- ery is not being assessed for part of the cost of the storm drainage facilities. Mr. Rysgaard further said that there had been total street construction there previous to this program which included provision for storm water and that the present storm water program is for the benefit of only one property OWner and should be paid for as a part of that owner's improve- ment project. He said he was referring to the Flaherty improvement. So far as the assessments for street, curb and gutter are concerned, I>!%'. Rysgaard said that only 58% to 59% of the costs are being allocated to Flaherty, but his property abuts on 70% of the street. McDonald's property has 13% frontage and 13% assessment. Shaw Lumber is 3% frontage and 6% assessment. His own property has 6% of the frontage and 12% of the assess- ment. Sheet metal is at 8% and 10%. He further said the cal- culation used for his property was 220 feet, but he has only 187 feet. Mr. Rysgaard said he believes the assessments should be consistent with the proportionate value. He also said that 30% of the street project should have been part of the Flaherty project and not spread over the assessment of abutting property owners.
