"I suggesf you plan a city roads project that is within a reasonable budget the <br />citizens of the community you are serving support, which they currently do not. You have not gone through this <br />project with a fine tooth comb or there would not still be bike paths and side walks in the plan that are clearly curb <br />appeal, not necessity. <br /> <br />School referendums have nothing to do with your roads/water project. The referendums passed, which means a <br />majority of the citizens who voted were in support. You are in an interesting position, because even though the <br />citizens of our community do not support your plan you can go forward anyway. I do not believe you are doing <br />what is best for the city. Peltier Lake Drive has been a bad road for 20 years, yet people still drive on it. Why do <br />you find it necessary to force city water, side walks and bike paths down our throats when our wells have been <br />pumping good water for decades, the streets are residential and the amount of traffic vs pedestrian/bike is easily <br />compatible? <br /> <br />Last nights meeting should be a prime indicator that the city council is clearly going down the wrong path. Your . <br />decisions moving forward will have a dramatic effect on what happens to our community. A growing tax base is a <br />key part of city development and a road/water project should never threaten the very tax base that is supposed to <br />support the funding. The current plan will force a number of home owners to have to sell their homes or face <br />foreclosure in real estate market that is in decline. The proposed assessments put ever home owner at a horrible <br />disadvantage which in-turn threatens the community. <br /> <br />There is a huge difference between road -repair and road replacement with mandatory city water hook up. This is <br />not hard stuff to figure out and the people of Centerville are a lot smarter than you are giving them credit. <br /> <br />Good luck with your decision, <br /> <br />Jason & Jessica Pietraszewski <br />1729 Peltier Lake Drive <br />612-426-0378 <br /> <br />From: Indjp1@aol.com [mailto:Indyjp1@aol.com] <br />Sent: Sunday, April 20, 2008 1:58 PM <br />To: jason.p@ecm-inc.com <br />Subject: Re: Proposed road Improvements vs. assessments <br /> <br />Jason, <br /> <br />What do you suggest we do? The roads on our project need repair/replacement. Peltier Lake Rd. is by far one of . <br />the worse roads in the city. We pulled it from the 2006 project because of the road being done before. We felt <br />this would give citizens more time to prepare for the assessment. The class action suite was many years ago and <br /> <br />5/9/2008 <br />
