Sept. 6, 1961 Special Meeting (con't)
A resident asked the reason f;or the $106.50 hook -up and it was
again explained that the total number of hookups or services were
divided into the total cost and this amount then became the service
connection- charge.
The Mayor then called on Mr Z i Mann to explain the financing of
this project. Mr. Mann stated that on the following Monday at the
regular Council neeting the Council would consider the objections
rendered at this hearing and then act to either adopt the assessment
role as presented or corrected. He further stated that those assessed
would have thirty (30) days from that time to pay their assessment with
out interest. After thirty(30) days this role would go to the County
and be spread on the taxes. Following this thirty(30) day period
interest would be added at the rate of 6% per year over a fifteen (15)
year period on a decl ir&ng _ba1a,nce. He then cited examples of how an
assessment could be paid off.
The Clerk stated that there would be no individual notice of
assessment amounts sent out, but that this information could be readily
obtained at the Village office.
The acting Mayor then called for objections to the assessment.
#1. Mr. Jesse Varnes of 7350 Fairchild Ave. objected to the
amount of the assessment as a large portion of one of his lots was not
usable because of a swampy area in back of one of his lots. He feels
that this assessment will cause a hardship on him and that he will not
benefit in proportion to his assessment.
The Attorney stated that the Council would make a determination of
benefits and then decide whether of ..n•ot ...a _ :correc.tion should .be made,
and on that basis either adopt or correct the assessment role.
#2. Mr. Gerald Blanski, 1881 Woodale Drive, objected to the
assessment because his lot has a 256 ft. frontage while it is only 100ft.
deep, therby making his frontage assessment $1 ,024. He stated that in
his opinion the assessment is too high for the amount of benefits
received.
#3. Mr. Alvin Hillsdale, 7850 Spring Lake Park Rd., objected to
the assessment on the grounds that he does not have the front footage
stated in the assessment book. Rather than the 563 ft. stated, he has
approximately 265 ft. and therefore should have a lower front footage
assessment.
There being no further objections Mr. Hodges adjouned the meeting
at 9:15 P.M.
After the meeting, an open question and answer period was held.
Questions regarding the cost of previous projects, other Villages
procedures, hookup fees, future projects, Council policy regarding
installation cf water, etc.
These were discussed at some length by those present.
The question and answer period ended at 9:45 P.M.
Respectfully submitted by
Lloyd J. Blanchard
Village Clerk
