� r � <br />Carlton Fulton, resident of Midway Estates, 1950 U.S.1 <br />South,, questioned why his taxes are going up almost $4,000 and <br />why everyone in the County has to pay to pave a street on the <br />other end of the county which will not benefit them at all. <br />It was explained to Mr. Fulton that only the people who live <br />in Vero Lake Estates and are part of the MSTU will have to pay <br />this tax. <br />George Ireland, 9126 88th St., noted that if the plan is to <br />start out paving two miles of streets a year, it will take about <br />38 years to benefit him as he lives at the extreme western end of <br />the area. He agreed with the other residents that the culverts <br />are filled in and all that is demanded is cleaning. Mr. Ireland <br />did not see the importance of paving a road when it appears most <br />of the people here tonight are opposed to it, and he felt <br />probably the water from the improper drainage would destroy the <br />road in any event. He noted that he bought ten acres in this <br />area because of the reasonable price, and he does not want to be <br />taxed out. He also bought there for the privacy and believed <br />that the people enjoy the country atmosphere. <br />Steve Davis reported that he is currently building on 8426 <br />93rd Ave.,and he wished to know which canals would be given <br />priority for cleaning. He was mainly interested in the major <br />canals, the one on the north end and the one alongside 510. <br />Director Davis pointed out that the canal on the east side <br />of CR 510 is not a county canal. The County and the Corrigan and <br />Ansin families all participated in an agreement to clean it, and <br />this was done in 1981. He further reported that the County has <br />worked on the 83rd Street canal and many others in this area, and <br />mainly the crews start downstream and work upstream. <br />Frances Betz, 87th St., complained of drainage problems and <br />felt the first step would be for the County to get some competent <br />help who know what they are doing and which way water flows. <br />Mrs. Betz then spoke of the problem with people speeding up and <br />down 87th St. and raising so much dust that the residents are <br />9 <br />SEP 1 BOOK 61.
