In the case of both 7th Court SW and 8th Avenue SW, Director Davis reported that $15,000 has been provided by the East Coast Self Help Program to subsidize some of the paving costs. These funds have been deposited in the Petition Paving account, and the assessments reflect that the $15,000 has been subtracted. Director Davis continued that in the 7th Court SW project, there is a lake located on the east side of the road. When we went to public hearing a year ago, staff was asked to look at the benefited area to determine the most equitable assessment for the property to the east of 7th Court. Staff has communicated with the owners of the property, and there are three platted lots where houses could be built; the assessments have been adjusted to account for those three buildable lots. In regard to the 16th Place project, Director Davis reported that phone calls have been received from owners indicating that they wish staff to move ahead and advertise for the second hearing, and that has been done. The Chairman opened the hearing on 7th Court SW, 8th Ave. SW, and 16th Place, and asked if anyone present wished to be heard. Mike Ellison, 359 8th Ave. SW, stated that at last year's hearing, question arose about taxes paid and the fact that there was no maintenance done on that road whatever. He believed the tax monies that should have been spent on that maintenance should be credited against the assessment for paving the road at this time. Director Davis stated that he did not know the complete history of this area, but pointed out that there are hundreds of roads in the County that have been platted where the County has not assumed any maintenance. He knew that this area developed fairly quickly when the East Coast Program became active, but he believed there were only three or four homes there for seven or eight years, and the roads were not graded. 45 MAR 20 1985 BOOK 60 F& GE 291
