City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes March 12, 2014 Engineer Statz stated that traffic would be limited to only local traffic and that the County would phase the reconstruction between Birch Street and Dupre Road and the Dupre Road to Sorel. Mr. Charles Reinhardt, 1723 Meadow Lane, stated that he too had concerns regarding the additional traffic and the speed of those attempting to by -pass construction. Mr. Bill Kujala, 7341 Deer Paas Drive, stated that not one person within his cul de sac desired the work to be completed due to the fact there was nothing wrong with the current roadway, it was a cul de sac, did not have through traffic and presented Council with a signed petition of 12 property owners of 14 parcels abutting Deer Pass Drive. Mr. Mike Garceau, 1871 — 73 Street, stated that he felt that the street in front of his home was in good shape, did not need any maintenance and did not understand how maintaining the roadway would increase the value of his home. Mr. Dave Luke, 7026 Brian Court, also stated that he resided on a cul de sac that has limited traffic, maintenance at this time was not needed and felt that within 3 -4 years a new road would need to be constructed anyway due to the poor soils. Ms. Jodi West, 1825 Revoir Street, stated that the roadway in front of her home does not show signs of deterioration, confusion over the City's roadway maintenance budget, concern for full reconstruction in the future and the Council's long range budget planning for future projects. After everyone who wished to do so had been given an opportunity to sneak, a motion was made by Council Member Fehrenbacher, seconded by Council Member King to close the public hearing at 7:05 p.m. All in favor. Motion carried. The Mayor opened the public hearing on the Proposed Assessments at 7:06 p.m. 2. Proposed Assessments — 2014 Mill & Overlay Project Engineer Statz stated that this was the second of two hearings held this evening with this hearing focusing on the proposed amount of assessments and whether the value of the improvement falls within the guidelines of the 429 process. Legal Counsel Glaser stated that the cost of the improvement may be assessed upon property benefited by the improvement, based upon the benefits received and he believes that the City is well within the perimeters. Mayor Wilharber stated that the Council is proposing $500 per benefiting properties. Mr. Kujala questioned whether he would also be paying more in property taxes due to the added improvement and questioned the process for the assessments. Administrator Larson stated that valuations are unlikely to increase because of this work but rather would not increase until the sales prices in his neighborhood justify an increase. Page 3of8 6
