Maurer stated that Mr. Abrahamson's property is the property at the "end" of the project and Council must decide whether to incl'~de or exclude it. He recommended excluding it from the project and stated that other residents' assessments would not be affected if he were excluded. Councilmember Ricks asked if Mr. Abrahamson was assessed for Carlton improvements. Maurer answered nOt that Carlto~ improvements were done before the City's assessment policy was in place. Dick Volkmar.n, 1102 Carlton Dr'ive: At the Febr1J.ar:f public hearing residents were told corner lets weuld be assessed for the longest side and :/3 of the shorter side of the lot. I am being assessed for 123 feet and I question whether this is correct and feel this assessment is more than the benefit. . Ella Manuel, 1130 Tiller Lane: I too lIve on a corner lot with the same question regarding the calculation of assessment. Being on a fixed income and recently putting xy husband into a nursing home, I cannot afford the assessment. Maurer explained how front footage for corner lots w&s calculated. He said the two corners were calculated using the same formula and he felt these assessments are appropriate, but that Council could make a final determination on the question of corner lot assessments. Paul Arend, 1227 Tiller Lane: If the project were postponed until next yeaL and could be done at about the same price, I would favor that action, but if it would cost more later, I favor doing the project now. I am concerned about potential tree loss. Graham stated that the City Forester has been and will cOLtinue to be involved to make every e::ort to save as many trees 3S possible. Maurer added that the contractor cannot ~emove any trees without prier ditectio~ from the engineer. ~ Dave Neube~gerF 3330 North Dunlap: I live adjacent to T~ller Lane and am adamantly opposed to the project. Although upper ~iller is in need of reconstruction, lo~er Tiller could simply be overlayed. I understood from earlier discussions that there would ~e ~o curbing. Maurer stated that curb and gutte~ is the City standard anc is very important to aSSlrJ.>; proper dra:1.nage and tc protect the roadway from deterioration.
