PETITIONS AND COMPLAINTS <br /> <br />Main Street Letter <br /> <br />Mr. March stated he received an e-mail letter from Jerry and Mary Jo Helmbrecht, <br />1745 Main Street, regarding traffic passing on the shoulders of Main Street. He <br />explained this has become a concern for pedestrian traffic and asked if a sign <br />could be posted stating "No Passing on Shoulders". Mr. March indicated the <br />residents noted the amount of traffic on this roadway has increased in number and <br />speed. He stated the residents would like to see higher patrolling and fining in <br />this area. <br /> <br />Council Member Sweeney stated it is currently illegal to pass on the shoulder and <br />signs are not needed for such an occurrence. City Attorney Hoeft eXplained that <br />this item has been a topic of discussion and stronger enforcement is needed. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if the shoulder on Main Street could be <br />repainted to deter residents from driving on the shoulders. City Attorney Hoeft <br />stated this is a County road and the issue would have to be brought before the <br />County. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson requested that this item be added to the formal letter to <br />the Police Department to have strict enforcement of those passing on the right. <br />The Council concurred on this issue. <br /> <br />Hunter's Crossing Assessments <br /> <br />Larry Woiak addressed the Hunter's Crossing Assessments. He explained that he <br />does not feel that his property value would increase at the same rate of the <br />assessment. Mr. Woiak stated he is being charged $9,000 to run water and $7,000 <br />for sewer in front of his house, with the price of hook up fees on top of the current <br />assessments. <br /> <br />Mr. Woiak stated he objects to the high fees because the developer is only paying <br />$2,000 per lot while the property owner is having to pay $16,000. He explained <br />the developer will be making a large profit on this development at the expense of <br />the nearby residents. <br /> <br />Mr. March stated that at the last meeting, the Council approved the preliminary <br />specifications and the preliminary costs would be more complete after the <br />preliminary specifications were received. He indicated the Council would again <br />review the fees after the plans were complete to approve or deny the assessments. <br /> <br />Page 5 of 12 <br />
