4 MAYOR DEMOS: By the same token, that person that plotted the lot was so told that when the plot was accepted. COUNCILMAN CURLEY: I go for 25%. COUNCILMAN FRANKE: There's something wrong with our pOlicy. MAYOR DEMOS: Then you might have developers coming in. What's the difference if you have one on one side of the street or both sides and you get stuck without any streets. It's better to err this way than the other way. If you don't require this of a developer at this point (inaudible) If you buy a lot on County Road B today you're buying it with all improvements in, and literally when they bought their lots from him he should have included the cost of an improvement, but don't talk about changing policy now because you do it on the spur of the moment and you give away the whole store. COUNCILMAN FRANKE: I think it could bear some clarification. I could just barely understand it myself so I don't know how they could. ~Vhat's the street going to cost me next year when the street is done and we assess them next August?

POPOVICH: The total cost of this project is $52,300. It was initiated by petition, as was indicated. There are 1320 assessable feet in this project. Because of the policy, the $39.60 is the front foot total cost. Because of your policy, that property on one side would be at $39.60 per front foot, and that on the other side would be $8.71 based on the 25% rule. I have been perplexed about this approach as well. I can see it applying when the subdivider comes in, and there you could give them the whole cost. Some of the lots have been sold. If the people got their lots at a lower price because the improvement was not in, then this full cost would be reflected in it, where the people across the street wouldn't have had that. The fact of
