ASSESSMENT HEARING (FENWAY BOULEVARD/FENWAY AVENUE) A public hearing was held to consider public comment, objections, and discussion regarding the proposed improvements to Fenway Boulevard and Fenway Avenue, from 130th Street to 142nd Street. The proposed improvements include construction of streets, water and sanitary sewer lines, stormwater drainage system, and related facilities. The total amount of the proposed assessments is $1,937,200. The Council heard comments regarding the Fenway Avenue project: 1. Rick and Trish Bueno, although not being assessed, objected to the $14,000 appraisal for the taking of their property and objected to the project: decrease in property value, will need to relandscape property, losing trees, road closer to house, noise from traffic, loss of play area for children, and potential for increased drainage problems. 2. Spencer Arndt favored the project to allow subdivision of his property. 3. Harley Johnson, Jr., opposed the project because he felt he could not subdivide his property, and he does not need sewer and water. If road is moved, utilities will have to be removed from his property.
