City Council meeting of March 3, 1997 Page 2 David Schwartz: Mr. Schwartz represented the Vern Peloquin family stating opposition to the project because of their large assessment. Beverly Aplikowski: Questioned whether she could rezone her property if the project goes forward. She stated that she was in favor of the project, but asked that the Council consider the large assessments when making their decision. Walter Stoltzman: Inquired if there were any grants available to assist in paying for the improvements. Questioned whether the City was going to participate in road costs as has been done in the past. Questioned whether City charges (WAC and REC) were included in proposed costs. Glamos Family: Questioned whether a current feasibility study for the project had been done. Felt that assessment was too high for their property. Heard that the City would mandate that they resurface their existing parking surfaces when improvements are completed. Encouraged appraisals of affected properties. Mike Atkinson: Assessment for property was too high. Quent Marier: Felt that his property would not benefit from the assessment because of no road access to the property. Rick Burr: Was in favor of the project. Hoped that the City would pick up a share of the project cost. Dick Mireault: Would like to see sewer extended to his property, but they would be paying for the oversized pipe and not be able to hookup to sanitary sewer.
