going in and as he sold the lots, each lot owner was c.ssessed (inaudible) amount of dollars for the improvements so the people who want to develop the lend (inaudible) let them pay for the assessment as they're buying their lot. Now, the ide? of rcising horses is something else. Something came through about 15 years ago that we would not raise animals in Roseville, and we've had sheep and goats. and maybe we'd be better to have that open space and let the cattle roam and use it for that inste2ld of going through vii th all this so-called improve- ments to benefit someone who really owns some ill-fated land that really doesn't have any use - only to his pocket bo~k - because the little money I'd get for that lot - really I don't care about because I \'JC1nt to keep the lot for myself. The intention when I bought, was so I'd have a little area for the kids as they were growing up and if I was trying to make a million dollars on the lot (inaudible) retain it and never sell it. If he wants to buy it, I'll take it right now, but I feel as a home owner - \'Jhy should we have to go to his benefit and 2Iid him? MR. LE ROY PEICKERT, 845 Brenner: How much is that land worth without the roads in it? MR. HONCHELL: I couldn't tell you. Open Space had it appraised and there seemed to be considerable difference of opinion. MR. PEICKERT: How much? MR. HONCHELL: $300,000 plus. MR. PEICKERT: To develop it, it costs $500,000. Another thing - the pond is ridiculous. They're going to split my lot up. But they go back every year to spray for mosquitos. Now, they'll spray the pond. rmhat are you going to do with the mosauitoes now. DO you know what they were doing before? MR. HONCHELL~ The idea is to have a deeper standing water situation so it would not be the 3prawling. wet area, and by brin~ing fill in, make it useful and have a smaller wet area rather than an intermediate wet area. -l8-
