21 built in around me they all brought their houses up a little higher and, by golly, don't you know, I'm at the bottom of the hill now, so I've heard all the stories on that as far as storm sewer is concerned. I don't think you've told me anything new tonight. You have made the statement that you were assessed, and if you really feel you were assessed you should get that to us in a form that we can see in the records that you were assessed, and you won't be assessed again. There's no way you will be assessed twice for storm sewers. If you have been assessed once, that's your share. r have been assessed once and I don't want to be assessed again so that part should be taken care of. The road portion of it - these people are lucky that live on Iona Lane in my opinion, and again they're unlucky. They're lucky in the fact that they don't have to pay for the road because if a road comes by in front of my house I will have to pay between starting about $7.50 a foot up, depending on when we get around to doing it, but because of the fact they were considered an MSA road, that means they carry a lot of traffic in front of their house. They will probably carry two, three, maybe four times as much traffic as some of the other city streets that are close in there, so it's kind of a mixed blessing. They need a good road. I'm in favor of the street. There's no question about that, and no way that I'd authorize that kind of expenditure for a street without having a decent storm sewer. Once you go to a permanent street you must have drainage facilities. You look at any kind of road made, other than a temporary, and they have to have drainage. My problem that I have is how wide should that street be. Should it be 44 feet or should it be 36 feet. Nobody has come up and said they wanted a sidewalk so r have kind of ruled that out. We have had a couple say against it so consequently I sit here in favor of the project but I don't know which way to go - whether I should vote for the 44 foot width or the 36 and then eliminate parking on one side. Which side wants the no parking side. So that's my feelings. MR. AL BERT KOSMERL, 552 Iona Lane: I guess I would support Alternate IA which is 36 feet wide and no sidewalks. MAYOR DEMOS: That is the recommendation of the staff and, I presume, those people that were speaking to the improvement. If there is nothing else, we will assume that. Councilman Franke then introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: Resolution No.
