<br />work with the state on that. As I say, the typical way is to <br />make that with an asphalt curb rather than a concrete curb <br />(inaudible) because it may have to be taken out. <br /> <br />MRS. DOROTHY RYAN: They have an aspahlt curb on Brenner, <br />but it's a very poor looking job. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: Is that on Brenner or Woodlynn? <br /> <br />MRS. DOROTHY RYAN: Woodlynn. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: Okay, that's why I wasn't sure what you were <br />talking about at first. <br /> <br />MRS. DOROTHY RYAN: If your lawn doesn't meet the curb, <br />whatever, do they raise it? Elevate it to meet the grass? <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: Yes. Let's make a presumption that your <br />lawn is four inches higher than where we end up putting the curb. <br />What we would do is we would go back and remove, to the degree <br />necessary, then make a slope from the curb up to where it is <br />a proper meeting elevation and then we would replace that sod. <br />Again, it's part of the project, just like any other part of <br />the project, but there's no specific cost to you as a homeowner <br />because it happened in front of your house. <br /> <br />MRS. DOROTHY RYAN: And there's no cost for meeting the <br />driveway? <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: No. Same thing. If your driveway is two <br />inches too low or something and we have to redo a little bit of <br />it, that would be done as part of this overall cost of the <br />project. <br /> <br />MRS. DOROTHY RYAN: In the letter we got in the mail today, <br />it said last year the City decided not to increase the water and <br />sewer rates in 1981 but it costs the City 15% more for sewer and <br />20% more for water. The property owners would be assessed 25% <br />of the cost for storm sewer and 75% would be paid for from the <br />general taxes. Is that going to increase our real estate taxes? <br />To pick up the loss. It has to be paid for sometime, someplace. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: I'm going to have to make a stab at what I <br />interpret you to say. The thing you got in the mail today has <br />to do with the sanitary sewer and with the water facilities. <br />Those costs are being paid for, you get your bill every three <br />months. <br /> <br />MRS. DOROTHY RYAN: Right. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: Neither of those have any relationship <br />specifically to the storm sewer under consideration or the <br />paving under consideration. I'm not sure I understood (in- <br />audible) . <br /> <br />4 <br />
