Council felt this might be an appropriate <br /> procedure to follow should a claim be received for consideration. <br /> Maurer indicated that only the Collins lot and one other were <br /> excluded from the sidewalk reconstruction due to being in <br /> excellent condition. <br /> Bachman reminded council that they are setting precedent and to <br /> make the window for reimbursement as narrow as possible. Council <br /> agreed that if arrangements were made for complete sidewalk <br /> reconstruction and it is reasonably sure the work was done in <br /> response to the July 13, 1993 letter, the city will consider <br /> reimbursement claims for a portion of the cost providing the <br /> claim is accompanied by a receipted bill for the work. These <br /> claims will be accepted for consideration for 30 days from the <br /> date of this assessment hearing. <br /> Jane McCoid, 2202 Folwell, asked if all sidewalks in the Grove <br /> are being replaced and Maurer replied in the affirmative. Ms. <br /> Mcoid commented on having some sidewalk slabs replaced in the <br /> past and three trees died as a result of having roots cut. She <br /> was informed that the trees were not weakened by the injury, but <br /> the roots should have been treated to protect against the <br /> infestation of dutch elm beetles. She was assured that the city <br /> forester has been working on this street /sidewalk project from <br /> its beginning and will continue to do so. <br /> There being no others wishing to be heard Baldwin closed the <br /> meeting at 8:31 p.m. Baldwin presented the following list of <br /> changes to be made in the assessment roll for the 1993 street <br /> project: <br /> 1596 Vincent front footage reduced to 81.5 <br /> sidewalk footage reduced to 69.5 ft. <br /> 2190 Folwell front footage reduced to 85 ft. <br /> 1586 Burton front footage reduced to 85 ft. <br /> 1578 Burton front footage reduced to 85 ft. <br /> 1564 Burton front footage reduced to 85 ft. <br /> Baldwin declared that these are the only exceptions to the <br /> assessment policy for the 1993 improvement project. <br /> Also noted was the possibility of a claim for partial sidewalk <br /> reimbursement from 1503 Northrop. <br /> Bachman reminded council that they must hear and pass upon all <br /> written objections after which council addressed a written <br /> objection from Norman Fruman, 2180 Folwell, regarding the amount <br /> of his assessment. Mr. Furman's property is on a corner lot, the <br /> short side Folwell) being scheduled for overlay and the long <br />
