objections, and all written objections theretofore filed with the Village Manager were presented and considered, and all such objections were tabulated as follows: MHS. DONNA HASSEL, 1270 Woodhill: Asked 'dhen the improvement would be completed. Also asked why their assessment would be spread over ten years instead of 20 years. MR. ROY MEYER, 2718 Huron: He said that at the feasibility hearing a statement was made that 50% of the improvement would be paid by general t.axes. Mr. Raymond replied that the original minutes indicate that 5~/o would be paid for the curb and gutter. ~tr. Meyer further said he thinks the ice arena and village hall benefit the whole village clnd he doesn't think they're picking up enough of the cost of the improvement. tffi. BENNETT ERICKSON, 2717 Huron: Asked why a 9 ton road was constructed rather than a lower axle load road. Mr. Raymond explained that it's a 9 ton road because it's part of the Roseville municipal state aid street system and the state has a minimum 9 ton load equlvalency. Mr. Raymond further pointed out that the assessments are based un a 7 ton road with .the balance picked up by MSA funds. FROM 'I'HE AUDIENCE (no name given): Asked for an explanation of state-aid roads. MR. DON MC CULLOCH, 2718 N. Griggs: Asked if all of the assessment projects were completed. When informed that they were not, he said his impression was that the assessment hearing would not be held until all construction work was finished. He further understood that the county would not participate in the project un- less it was completed by October 1. Feels that the matter is being rushed and also that the contractor is not doing a good job. Further asked to what extent state aid funds would be available. He believes that every resident in the village uses Woodhill Drive and he has neighbors who are not paying an assessment because Fernwood and Griggs are dead end streets. Feels that the total cost of the improvement not paid for by state-aid funds should be on general taxes to be paid by the entire village.
