Mr. Stonehouse indicated this would be reviewed, the reconstructed street would <br />basically be within the limits of the existing street. <br /> <br />Mr. Don Tix, 1770 West County Road F, inquired as to the walkway, indicating it was his <br />understanding that it would be removed, since that is the desire of the residents. Mr. Stonehouse <br />indicated, as requested by the City Council, this issue was reviewed and the street was adjusted two <br />feet to the north with available space for a six foot walkway and a four foot boulevard. <br /> <br />Mr. Tix expressed concern that the residents were paying for a wider, heavier and more expensive <br />road, for the benefit of the bus company. <br /> <br />Mr. Tix indicated the difficulty the residents are having is with the County who did not assess for <br />improvements, and now the residents are being assessed quite excessively. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst indicated he believed there is a misconception, that the residents are paying a <br />premium, but the assessment is not based on the actual cost of the improvements, but it is based on <br />a typical city street. <br /> <br />Craig Wilson, 1677 County Road F, expressed concern regarding the walkway.

Also he feels the payment period is unreasonable, as not many residents would <br />have the money by June. <br /> <br />Larry Parker, 1814 West County Road F, supported all the previous comments from the residents. <br />He believed the design of the road was unrealistic. <br /> <br />Buy Pham, 1761 County Road F, supported the comments of the previous residents. He indicated <br />his property was one of the odd shaped lots. <br /> <br />Mr. Pharo indicated two-thirds of his lot is wetland, and is undevelopable, but it is included in the <br />assessment. He noted since his lot is irregular the assessment attributed to his property is <br />
