However, he indicated that a brief delay of the project should still keep completion within two weeks of schedule. Mayor Landers asked who petitioned against the project. Mr. Ahrens stated that the property owners are the Skoglunds. Mr. Wessel indicated that the overall intent of this project is to respond to the needs of area property owners as well as the City Council's commitment to commercial economic development as a priority. The subject area is predominately zoned commercial, and this is an effort to extend utilities to make development possible in 1997. Council Member Bergeson asked if the homes on Marchan Lane are out of the subject area. Mr. Ahrens responded yes. Mr. Wessel pointed out that the Funkhauser property, although on Marchan Lane, is also out of the area. Mayor Landers opened the public hearing at 8:32 P.M. Ron Solfest, 162 Egreet Lane asked where replacement funding would come from should certain property owners opt out of the assessment process. Mr. Ahrens explained that those who could opt out of the assessment process represent a very minimal amount of the overall funding source. Additionally, unit charges would account for additional funds as development occurs.
