6 MR. PHILIP HOPE, 1080 County Road C-2: That's on the corner of Churchill. I have lived here 19 years and I feel as if I'm pretty familiar with the road. I see no great need for spending this amount of money on a project of this kind. I concur with Mr. Carrier who just spoke and I think his reasoning and his comments are certainly very accurate, and Mr. Rheaume who previously spoke about the high taxes and assessments - I think it's a time when they should be concerned about something that's really absolutely needed. The water is still going to go down County Road C-2 and empty down into Lexington the same as it has been doing for years, and if we're making this big change on Lexington - but I see no great need for it at this time. Thank you. MAYOR DEMOS: Is there anyone else? Anyone else wish to be heard? There being no others, then I will bring the hearing to a close and ask for the Council's comments. COUNCILMAN FRANKE: Aren't we required to put those in because of the Lexington Avenue project? MR. ALLEN CARRIER, l040 County Road C-2: If this proposal does go through and we are assessed the $295, and if in the future curb and gutter and bituminous paving is put in on Churchill and Oxford, would we be assessed again for this? I live on a corner lot. MAYOR DEMOS: We only assess for the front. Since your front is on MSA, there would be none for Churchill or Oxford. MR. HONCHELL: Wherever the short side of your property is. The map I have - and that one is kind of small - whichever side is the smallest side of your lot, whether C-2 or Oxford, that is considered your frontage - the short side. That means that if the roadway is put in along that frontage you would be assessed on a proportionate basis, based on how many feet you own. If your frontage is on C-2, that would be the way that you would be assessed. In that case, that's an MSA so you would be assessed zero. If your short side were Oxford and that was constructed, then when Oxford was constructed you would be charged your share of the cost. MR. CARRIER: Then I would be assessed again. MAYOR DEMOS: We're not building streets without the wish of the people and unless you petition for it. MR. HONCHELL: In relation to the storm drainage portion, once you pay your assessment for storm drainage, if we would build Oxford - you used the example - you would not be charged again for that. COUNCILMAN FRANKE: Is the part of Lexington Avenue (inaudible) otherwise it undermines the road, is that right?
