I I. ARDEN lilLLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 14, 1995 5 , Ms. Elizabeth Garski, 1795 West County Road F, indicated the problem was caused by the fact I that the sewer was not capped at the end of the work day by the construction crew. She noted the Public Works Superintendent also believed this to be the problem. She noted that she did realize this to be hearsay, but felt this is a clear show of neglect on behalf of the construction crew. I Ms. Garski indicated they were unable to use their air conditioning and the damage was unbelievable. She indicated this to be a continuous comedy of errors regarding the road I reconstruction. Councilmember Hicks noted the Council will be sympathetic. I Ms. Garski believed withholding payment would be the residents only leverage in the issue. He noted he would not want to have to sue the City and the contractor just to resolve this.

PUBLIC HEARING - 1995 STREET MAINTENANCE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT , Mayor Probst opened the Public Hearing at 8 :04 p.m. He noted this is a continuation of the Public Hearing held on July 31, 1995, therefore no additional notification was sent out. I City Engineer Stonehouse briefly reviewed the project and the reason why the Council is at this particular point. He noted the two issues brought up at the last council meeting were the corner lots I and outlots and the rate of assessments regarding both. Mr. Stonehouse indicated, based upon a review of the assessment calculations, the two residential I properties (1179 and 1194) at the westerly intersection were previously included at the corner lot rate using the length of the short plus one third of the long side. The two outlots were not calculated I using this method and the revised total assessment length for the Hunter's Park Homeowner's Association as a result of these revisions would be $3,554.87, a reduction of317,90 feet. , Mr. Stonehouse explained based upon this change the total assessment amount to the association would be reduced to $14,219.48 and the resulting assessment per lot is $209.11. ,.
