MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />SEPTEMBER 26, 1990 <br />is to senior citizens who are under Federal income <br />guidelines. Assessments could be spread out over a 10 <br />to 15 year period. <br />Larry Hartman, 466 Al1en Avenue, asked how the street <br />and watermain improvement would benefit him. Hartman <br />stated that his street is fine. Hartman believed that <br />only Mr. Costa would be benefited. <br />Scalze pointed out that if Mr. Hartman has watermain, <br />he would not be assessed for that portion of the <br />improvement. <br />Hartman stated that he did not want to see DeSoto or <br />Costa Lane improved all the way through. <br />Scalze pointed out that when Mr. Hartman purchased his <br />property he knew that DeSoto Street was a platted <br />street. <br />Hartman reported that he purchased his home because it <br />was located on a deadend street. Hartman expressed <br />concern about the condition of the Slumberland <br />development and pointed out that with the park the City <br />is developing in the area, and the Costa development, <br />there will be a great deal of traffic added to the <br />area. <br />Scalze pointed out that the situation is difficult <br />since there is residential property abutting <br />industrial. Scalze also pointed out that property <br />owners have a right to develop their property. <br />Hartman questioned why he had to pay for improvements <br />when he will not benefit. <br />Scalze asked how long DeSoto had been platted. <br />Pete Costa estimated that it had been platted for at <br />least 50 years. <br />Scalze pointed out that there is watermain on DeSoto <br />because it is a dedicated street. <br />Hartman asked why DeSoto could not be ended in a <br />cul-de-sac rather than going all the way through to <br />Allen. <br />Scalze pointed out that most people would like to live <br />on a dead-end street, however, it is not always <br />possible, especially when someone else owns the <br />property. <br />Page 12 <br />
