Mayor Probst invited the audience to address the Council at this time, he reminded everyone to state their name and address for the record. Mr. CliffBnjoId, 1134 Hunters Court, indicated only four homes within Hunters Court are being assessed for the project, but the project benefits all 12 homes the same as his property. He indicated Benton Way is the only access to Hunters Court and Walden Place, He believed everyone in Hunters Court should be assessed, since everyone benefits from the overlay. Mr. Bujold also requested the maintenance program of the City be reviewed. He noted if past maintenance had been done, such as sealcoating, he felt the road may have not needed extensive work. Mr. Bujold indicated the reasoning behind asking to assess all properties, is because similar to the Homeowner's Association, all properties are benefitting from the overlay project. Per request, Mayor Probst read a written objection to assessment by Mr. Kynng Lee, 3132 Shorewood Drive, provided to the Council at the beginning of the meeting. The objection noted the assessment of $720 to be higher than those properties surrounding this parcel, and unfair. Mr. Frank Schreiber, 1116 Benton Way, indicated he had received a notice dated June 15, 1995, the notice was full of legal language, but was unclear as to the actual improvements to be done. He noted in the future he would like more notice and more clear language in regards to actual improvements. Mr. Schreiber inquired, if Lexington Avenue would be improved, who would be assessed for this improvement. Mayor Probst indicated the properties adjacent to or abutting Lexington Avenue would be assessed.
