COUNCILY~ KERR: That's why I wanted that knoll cut out of there and moved up towards Victoria, since you're going to excavate there anyway, for that holding pond. Then you might just as well cut that knoll out and move it up. MR. HONCHELL: Moving this little knob out toward the Victoria side is not a major cost. V~YOR DEMOS: I will now open the hearing for the recon- struction of Aglen Street from Transit Avenue to Brooks Avenue - P-82-5. Are there any written statements? }ffi. NORTH: The only one that we would have would be the one that was submitted here by the gentleman from Barbara and Richard St. Dennis indicating that they support the project. MR. POPOVICH: The cost of this project is $38,472.19 and there are 1,l03.41 assessable front feet. If you divided the two figures it comes out to $34.87 per foot - 25% of that is $8.72, which you multiply by the width of your lot. I would recommend that this be spread over that same ten year period that you have with the other projects. MAYOR DEMOS: I might say, regarding the statement in that letter where they would hold the right to withdraw their support should the cost increase - if the costs come in in excess of 25% over the estimate, then we have to hold another hearing. We already have four people that have spoken for the paving of 'Aglen - anyone else who wishes to speak on the repaving of Aglen? MR. CARL ANDERSON, 917 Transit Avenue: I favor it, but while I don't live on the street, I feel it would be an improve- ment to the neighborhood. I want to address another question to Mr. Honchell - some of the neighbors in the neighborhood - there on Chatsworth - I talked to some on Chatsworth - and they wish to petition for a street improvement at this time. Would it be more eCQnomical, if they would petition at this time, to include it with the same project? Would it be to their advantage? MR. HONCHELL: well, the larger within reason that the ultimate contract is, generally the cheaper it is for all pieces by scale, although it's not giant-or noti~eable - it is minor, but. it's there. As far as the petitions - if anybody on these streets wishes to have their road done at the same time - the process would be to contact the engineering staff, who would give them a petition and a little booklet as to ,how petitions are circulated, how hearings are held - although everybody in the neighborhood is probably an expert now - offer to meet with them at a neighborhood meeting or up here qt the City Hall if their neighbors want to to help explain it like we did on Aglen. If they want to, they could also get it done at the same time and the same contract as long as this happened relatively soon - within the next few weeks. 13
