In addition storm sewer is to be assessed by an area assessment at the rate of .00866 per square foot. Water services would be $253.90 each, and sewer service would be $242.28 each. Mayor Neisen called for questions or objections from the floor. Mr. Arthur Spagenski, 8231 Eastwood asked why Greenwood Drive from Sherwood Road to Ardan Avenue was not being installed. He said he has already paid assessments on Eastwood Road and Ardan Avenue. Engineer Bearden replied that the area south of Ardan Avenue was not petitioned for and was not within the drainage boundary. Mrs. Rosenquist, 8380 Spring Lake Road, stated that for $7.,000,000.00 it would be cheaper to buy up the areas where the new streets are to go. She said she also has no water problem. Mr. James Bergstrom, 8400 Red Oak Drive, asked where the storm water pipe was to be laid in relation to his home. Engineer Bearden stated that it appeared from the map, the pipe would go on his north boundary. He added that the pipe may be able to be shifted by one or two lots.
