<br /> MAYOR WOODBURN: Over-extension. I guess we can't tell <br /> somebody how to run their business. <br /> . MRS. RHODA BEHR, 1401 West County Road E: We live on the <br /> corner of County Road E and Wesley. This new road is going <br /> right down the side of our house. We don't need that road. <br /> We have a road in front of our house. We won't go down that <br /> road. will we be assessed for that road since it's going <br /> right down the side of our lot? <br /> MAYOR WOODBURN: On the lot that that house stands on, <br /> there are no improvements going in that improve your property. <br /> In other words, you have water, you have sewer. <br /> MRS. BEHR: I'm talking about the road that's going down <br /> the side of our house. We won't be assessed for the road, <br /> will we? <br /> MAYOR WOODBURN: I can I t answer that because thisisn I.t <br /> the assessment hearing, but the general rule, as Mr. Popovich <br /> keeps telling us, is that if property is improved by an improve- <br /> ment, you can assess it. If it's not improved, you can't. <br /> Normally, (inaudible) roads and things like this are not con- <br /> sidered an improvement to.the property, at least not like a <br /> road that serves them. <br /> MRS. BEHR: I was once told that once you pay your assess- <br /> . ments, you're not taxed again for them. <br /> COUNCILMAN McALLISTER: Unless they have new ones and <br /> they redo the road. <br /> MAYOR WOODBURN: You were never assessed for County Road <br /> E. <br /> MRS. BEHR: No. <br /> MAYOR WOODBURN: I haven't answered your question and I <br /> don't think I can at this point. Are there any other ques- <br /> tions? If there are no more questions about this, we will <br /> close the public hearing and go on to any questions that the <br /> Council may have. <br /> COUNCILMAN McALLISTER: How far are we supposed to go on <br /> . this tonight? On the agenda here it says "ordering prepara- <br /> tion of plans and specifications". I'm concerned about the <br /> developer's agreement. <br /> MR. POPOVICH: Obviously, if the Council orders the <br /> improvement tonight, you would order it and then plans and <br /> specs would be prepared for bid letting. Between now and the <br /> time we sell bonds would be for the formulation of the develop- <br /> . ment agreement that you negotiate with the developer. <br /> COUNCILMAN McALLISTER: We don't need that first? <br /> 12 <br /> ----.-.,- __n_____ <br />
