He invited those who have questions or comments regarding the streets noted in Mr. Stonehouse's presentation to step forward. Mr. Andy Kuehn, 3581 Ridgewood Road, noted his property is a downhill property and any improvements on Ridgewood Court will affect his property. He indicated that if the road is raised any further, his front yard will be washed away, because previous drainage problems have occurred.
