<br />MAYOR DEMOS: We've done Lydia Court, if you recall, so <br />we've done portions over there. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN JOHNSON: I'd like to make a comment, Mayor, and <br />this came up at a prior hearing. I personally have some diffi- <br />culty with 50% of the owners imposing on the other 50% for this <br />street improvement. The costs keep going up, but nonetheless <br />my personal preference is that when we see one of these peti- <br />tions there ought to be a more substantial majority. 50% of the <br />people may petition, but perhaps it's fair to assume that the <br />other 50% are mixed unless they come in with a negative peti- <br />tion. Maybe we could say that this is a 75% petition. I hear <br />you saying, Mrs. Jensen, that most of the other people were <br />opposed. I haven't heard anything tonight. Just in terms of <br />my own feelings on the situation, I have a problem with one out <br />of two people being able to impose it on the whole block. I <br />don't really hear any opposition coming forward here to any <br />great extent. <br /> <br />MAYOR DEMOS: We have one more over 50% because a gentle- <br />man here said he didn't sign but he's for it. I feel the same <br />way in the opposite direction. <br /> <br />MAN FROM AUDIENCE: Is the floor still open? <br /> <br />MAYOR DEMOS: No, it's closed. I'll let you talk though, <br />as long as we don't open it up and keep going. <br /> <br />MR. LEWIS BETHANY, 3041 Patton Road: I question that 50% <br />of the people signed it because I know of seven that did not, <br />including Mr. Friday, who is for it. I think it should be <br />checked w~th the people who signed it and make sure that it's <br />legitimate. The people who came around . . . <br /> <br />MAYOR DEMOS~ We have more than 14 lots though. <br /> <br />MR. BETHANY: We have 16, right? <br /> <br />MAYOR DEMOS: Sixteen lots, so seven is not half. <br /> <br />MR. BETHANY: But there are six that we don't know about. <br />I think this petition should be checked. <br /> <br />MAYOR DEMOS: They are when they come in. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN FRANKE: It's very difficult for us - by the <br />same token, the six that you say did not sign . . . <br /> <br />MR. BETHANY: There are seven, but one is for it. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN FRANKE: I know, but those seven may be for <br />it or we don't know. Maybe they don't care. We have to <br />determine it on what we have. <br /> <br />5 <br />
