and Rihm together. Now, is the sanitary sewer, storm sewer I mean, is that going to be based on square foot? Are they going to pay more than M & M and Rihm? MR. HONCHELL: That's a good question. As I stated, origi- nally Williams Brothers was one of the signers of the petition. That's a two-fold reason. Part of it is that large portion of undeveloped land up along Highway 88, that trapezoidal piece right there, that's not built. One of the possibilities that they were looking at was either to .sell the property or to develop it. In order to do either of those, they have to have access to a street. Highway 88 has limited access, and you can- not have a driveway on it. So they were looking potentially for a way to get a road, a permanent roadway to this site. The Marabella parcel, you'll notice, does go all the way to the north and to that site. One of the possibilities we were looking at for a considerable amount of time was to extend this roadway that we showed you today on up to the north to that Williams Brothers site. We also were very interested in working with them to have the watermain go up the Marabella site, then go immedi- ately (inaudible) right along the Williams Brothers ownership into the internal tank farm where there would be this 12 inch line developed and then they would develop their own internal loops beyond that for fire protection. We worked extensively with the local people and had communications down to Tulsa. We recently have received a response back and they are not inter- ested in providing development to that vacant private piece and they are also not interested in having the watermain extended into their site. MR. LAWRENCE STOUFFER: That's another no vote then. MAYOR DEMOS: (Inaudible). We have some strong feelings about fire protection for Williams Brothers. MR. LAWRENCE STOUFFER: I believe that. I saw the fire last year. MAYOR DEMOS: Just because they say no doesn't necessarily mean (inaudible) so let's get that clear. MR. LAWRENCE STOUFFER: Let's be realistic and pragmatic about cost. You're talking about County Road C (inaudible) property. It's down now, I think, to less than nine acres. If you're going to talk about assessments of $310,000 on that little bit of acreage, it's just not feasible. I cannot see it. I think the whole thing is of benefit to M & M, to get their sewer and water services, let somebody else (inaudible). Now, if M & M is so hot for this site (inaudible) doesn't want to sell it. But he doesn't want to be stuck with assessments of almost equal what he paid for the property twelve years ago. Figure it out. $21,000 a year assessments on 8 1/2 acres. ~~YOR DEMOS: Let me say this. We have a lot of things to think about. You mig~t as well have the benefit of what's 13
