knew there were no roads and even though it was platted, it had many things yet to be done with the lots, and it would be assumed, I would suppose, many years ago, if you were going to develop it, it would cost money to develop it, but now it doesn't cost so much. You just shove it off on your neighbors. That's what we don't go for. MAYOR DEMOS: You said if 95% of the people - I want you to understand there's a total of 56 lots and the most I can figure out - there's probably no more than 10 to 12 people who are affected who don't want this. In other words, it appears to me from the people who say they do want it that we have about 44 lots in t.he hands of people who do want it. COUNCILMAN GRAUEL: I want to ask one question of Mr. popovich. What portion of this entire assessment is chargeable to the benefited property owners of the $485,000? MR. POPOVICH: The full amount of the cost of $485,000 - part we'll get from Shoreview of approximately $11,000. Then, another $57,000 would be raised by general taxes, so II and 57 is some $75,000 from the $485,000 - it would be about $410,000 raised by assessments. COUNCILMAN GRAUEL: So t.he statement you made that out of the $485,000 there is around $4l0,000 assessed against the benefitted property which will be 100% assessed. MR. KONOLD: Maybe it's not quite as bad as we thought. COUNCILMAN GRAUEL: You brought it up and wondered what portion would be against the property owners. What you're contributing to was proposed (inaudible) and I had $57,000 but I hadn't picked up the $11,000. MR. KONOLD: My reason to come up the second time was to know if it would not be of value for me to walk up and down Victoria with a petition. MAYOR DEMOS: (inaudible) we have a right to cut down the project, accept it. as it is, or turn it down. That determination will be made by the Council, so I mean, you're saying itJs all cut and dried. It's not. It's possible we could leave Brenner out. We can do any of those things. -37-
