<br />MR. POPOVICH: Mayor and members of the Council, the total <br />estimated cost is $114,491.84. If it was 100% assessed, it <br />would be $44.89 a front foot. At the 25% recommended approach, <br />it would be approximately $11.22. If this improvement is <br />ordered, it is proposed to be consolidated with the next three <br />immediately following on the list. The same general comments <br />I made at the beginning would apply to these as well. <br /> <br />MR. ANDRE: We have one letter from Nathan Schoon, 2737 <br />Farrington Street, in opposition to the project. <br /> <br />ACTING MAYOR JOHNSON: We're talking now about project <br />P-82-21, Farrington Street between County Road C and Iona Lane. <br />The hearing is open to the public. Any comments? <br /> <br />MR. FRANCIS CRIST, 2673 Farrington Street: I guess I'll <br />upgrade your assessment of the street a little bit. I see no <br />reason to replace the road as it exists. I think it's in good <br />shape. It has served everybody for years. I think any change <br />would be a cosmetic change. One of the previous comments was <br />made about the requirement of having an official road so that <br />it can be used as a thoroughfare for nonresidential traffic. <br />I don't believe that was the intent of this street. It <br />connects no place. County Road C is the main thoroughfare <br />that's known as an official street. Seeing as how the petition <br />was sent out - I guess it was almost a year ago - I would like <br />to request that we repetition the residents of this area. <br />Right now I would like to have my neighbors stand up and <br />either say "opposed" or "for it". I am opposed. <br /> <br />ACTING MAYOR JOHNSON: How many people are here in this <br />particular project? Could we see a show of hands? Does <br />someone have a copy of the petition? <br /> <br />MR. POPOVICH: The petition was received in July of 1982 <br />by the engineering department, according to the stamp on our <br />xerox copy. <br /> <br />ACTING MAYOR JOHNSON: Did you s~gn for or against it <br />at that time? <br /> <br />MR. CRIST: I was against it. I'm against it now, and <br />I would like to have my neighbors (inaudible) to get up and <br />state their intentions. <br /> <br />MR. RICHARD GRAF, 2688 Farrington Street: As of last <br />Saturday, I was opposed to the improvement, but after what <br />I've heard here tonight, I'm in favor of it. I think one of <br />the things that some of the people are overlooking is that our <br />28 or 29 foot wide street will be 32 feet wide, which is an <br />improvement. I agree with the people that have stated it - <br />the street surface is in pretty good condition. Mr. Honchell <br />said it's fair to good. I don't like to spend money any more <br />than anyone else, but I don't think they can go around doing <br /> <br />-2- <br />
