<br />5 <br /> <br />MR. GORDON RHEAUME, 2874 Oxford: I have been out here for <br />30 years. I have been retired for five years and since the day I <br />retired I have been working part-time so I can live in Roseville <br />and pay my taxes. We were told about six years ago when they improved <br />the south end of Oxford there would never be a necessity for storm <br />drains on the north end because everything on Oxford and County <br />Road C-2 drains tofue lake. But that's beside the point. They <br />predict 8.3% unemployment by 1980 and everybody knows the <br />inflation rate is about ll%. Perhaps this is the best thing for <br />Roseville but it sure as hell isn't for the taxpayers. You're <br />closing schools; Ford is laying off; Chrysler is in danger of <br />going under. I don't think we can stand any more taxes or <br />assessments or anything else. Thank you. <br /> <br />MAYOR DEMOS: Anyone else? <br />heard? <br /> <br />Anyone else that wishes to be <br /> <br />MR. ALLEN CARRIER, 1040 County Road C-2: That's the corner <br />lot on Oxford Street and County Road C-2. Right now all this <br />water that runs down Churchill and Oxford and down on to County <br />Road C-2, runs down to Lexington and eventually into little Lake <br />Josephine now. With this storm sewer, with putting catch basins <br />in at Churchill and C-2 and Oxford and C-2, will take this water <br />now from these streets and put it into catch basins in the storm <br />sewer and have it come out in the very same spot that it comes <br />out now. I guess - plus also that the acreage - the north of <br />C-2 is all open space land. In other words, there will not be any <br />supposedly - no homes built on the north side of County Road C-2. <br />I guess I cannot see the reason of putting in a storm sewer and <br />having this water run down a sewer and have it come out the same <br />spot that it does now. If there were homes to be built on the north <br />side of C-2, then I could probably see this storm sewer because <br />some of this water does run off C-2 over the side into this <br />acreage. Therefore, I guess I cannot see the reasoning behind this <br />storm sewer. <br /> <br />MAYOR DEMOS: The reasoning behind this is that water does <br />ultimately get to Lexington and we must put a storm sewer there <br />before the road is built. <br /> <br />MR. CARRIER: But the culvert east of Lexington which all <br />this water goes through - water that goes through which is the <br />easement where Judith is supposed to go through - the easement for <br />that water runs in there down along the east side of Lexington and <br />goes under a culvert now - that would be running in the same spot <br />when you put the storm sewer in. <br /> <br />MAYOR DEMOS: Is there anyone else? <br />
