MINUTES City Council January 1h, 1981 P4r. Johnson suggested going all the way through his property with the right of way so that he would not have a buildable lot in the back and could not be assessed for it. Councilman Fahey suggested that the Attorney and Engineer cou1d meet with Veilleux and Johnson and see what type of arrangement could be made. Frankie Frattalone stated that he was opposed to the improvement because of the amount of assessments it would involve. Frattalone informed the Council that if the improvement went in, he would have to build some type of building on his property to pay for the assessments. Frattalone ca1cul.ated that he would have to pay approximately ~30,000 in assessments. Mr. Frattalone also stated that if Park Street did get approved he was definitely opposed to the cul-de-sac. Park Street should go through to Demont. Frattalone informed the Council that without Lake Street being improved, it would not be a 1ega1 cul-de-sac. Mr. Behr informed the Council that he was in favor of Park Street going in, but he was opposed to the cul-de-sac. Mr. Qehr asked the Council what happens in the case of substandard lots not being assessed for the improvements and in the future City code changes and they become buildable lots. Mr. Behr wanted to know who picked up these assessments. Mrs. Scalze replied that the assessments would be deferred on these lots until such time as the lots became buildable. The City Clerk asked if Park Street would qualify as a State-aid street. The Engineer commented th~t it would probably not as it is so close to Rice Street. If it did, the State would require a~4 foot blacktop. Councilman Fahey stated that a 44 foot blacktop would have too much impact on the area. The blacktop should be as slim as possible. Mr. Fahey introduced the following resolution and moved its adopt~on: RESOLUTION N0. 81-1-31 - CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEFlRING ON TNC PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT OF PARK STREET THE foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Mrs. Nardini. qyes (5j Fahey, Nardini, Hanson, Forsberg, Scalze.
