4 MR. HONCHELL: One of the major objections is - to get a building permit you would have to dedicate property where your house is and we'd have to have the 30 feet, and at this instant you don't have any frontage on any improved roadway because it happens the way the county bought the land, as best we can de- termine, none of your property abuts an improved roadway. MR. WIDERSKI: Now that you have to move the cul-de-sac - with the engineer that put in that street where I paid almost $12,000 - you got a rebate of over $8,000. Where he put that in where the line was, he said "I'm over your line nearly a foot". (inaudible) MAYOR DEMOS: When we went north the more houses to be assessed who said they didn't feel they wanted the assessment to provide the access to the south, am I right? MR. HONCHELL: I wasn't here at the time. MAYOR DEMOS: There was a bit of a discussion, let's say between some owners in - I'm not sure which lots that they didn't feel they should lose if we kept it up to the north. They were actually taking a good bit of someone's front yard. MR. WIDERSKI: What I'm referring to - if you take that pencil - if you see the line where the cul-de-sac comes, actually I'm supposed to be inside that cul-de-sac. Why they changed that, that I shouldn't be able to build, I don't know, but at the time the road came through - and I've been there since 1928 - and when they came through with that, they told me it was all bog, and I said that's there, but this is all sand and it kept caving in on them because he was over on my property. Now, according to that, that movement was on my property over a foot, but it doesn't show it now today, but at that time it did. MAYOR DEMOS: How far does the existing roadway go back? MR. WIDERSKI: Where my line comes. I would be in part of the cul-de-sac there, and there I got all the water lines there. We wouldn't touch anyone else's property, and connect at the first opening I put in which I paid for. I paid nearly '$12,OOO and made no use of it whatsoever. Now they're trying to run more money on me here and I don't think anyone could afford it because without putting a shovel in the ground I'd have about $75,000 plus all the property I'd have to give up and that's going to push me probably $IO,OOO more to fill in. MAYOR DEMOS: When you say you (inaudible) in the cul-de-sac, are you talking about the current house and the cul-de-sac on the left? MR. WIDERSKI: I should be into that cul-de-sac according to when that road was put in and according to your engineer on the
