" MR. EIBENSTEINER: Will the Council tell me this evening, or at a later date, if they'll share in the cost of the street or if it's absolutely my cost? When will I find that out? . MAYOR WOODBURN: Legally, we don't know until the assess- ment hearing, as Mr. Popovich has indicated. MR. POPOVICH: We're going on the basis of 100% assessed - that you were going to pay it all. You want to go on that basis in making your response. Now, whether the Council deter- mines to put part of it on general taxes or part of it out of some other fund and then just assess - I've seen 90j10, 80/20 - 80% assessed, 20% on taxes - it varies. But itJs your job to convince the Council. Our recommendation is that you're developing the land, it's your land, that normally developers pay 100%. MR. EIBENSTEINER: the plat is approved? the assessment hearing will I find out at a later date, when Or can I find out ahead of time, before next fall? MAYOR WOODBURN: I think as a practical matter the Council has commonly had an idea of which way they're going before the assessment hearing. They have to in order to judge the feasibility of it. That idea is not a legal idea and is not binding, but it's an assumption of the way things could go to make it feasible, if it should be feasible. In other words, we will, I presume, have some idea of the feasibility of this based on what you're saying, which reflects then into the financing of it at the time we approve the plat. That is an idea and it's not binding and I'm sure that you're aware of that. It never has been in anything that you do, except some things have been a little clearer cut. I don't know how to answer it any better than that. I expect we'll have an idea of which way we'll go. You're telling us that $l2,700 would be feasible - that's the cul-de-sac. e. MR. EIBENSTEINER: I was figuring half the cul-de-sac price. The cul-de-sac price right now is $20,000. I figured $10,000 plus the regular assessment. At the same time, I was going to cut the storm sewer down to $23,000 from $45,000. I have to work that out with Don. I just don't like to spend storm sewer money when no water goes down the storm sewer. I have a place on Nursery Hill Court right now, I put a lot of money in Nursery Hill Court and there's a storm sewer there that never drains water. I want to make sure this project doesn't end up the same way. I can live with half the cul-de- sac. COUNCILMAN JOHNSON: Before we can go with this tonight, I guess I'd like to get a little bit more into the storm sewer drainage to find out what this is all about. MR. BOB VOSIKA, 4268 Norma Avenue: I have a question related to the land use within the park, for either the 16
