DEC 119 5 BOOK 62 RGE 9'72j Chairman Lyons noted that there is no backup on this and did not understand how this came before the Board without going through the regular channels. Administrator Wright explained that this public hearing had been properly advertised and paid for by the developer. He admitted there was a breakdown in getting the backup material to the Board, but the only real change from the September 25th meeting of the Board of County Commissioners is in the map showing the property owners who are in favor of the paving. It is the same issue, but the developer is asking the Board to reconsider. James Lawhon, developer of Oslo Ridge, recalled that the petition for paving 11th Lane S.W. was turned down at the Public Hearing of September 25, 1985 because not enough people signed the petition. The people that were against it have built their homes facing the other street on a through lot and they do not feel they should pay the cost for paving the street in the back of their lots. He stated he is willing to pay the paving costs of the people in those 4 houses in order to get enough people to sign the petition and felt that would be fair enough. Chairman Lyons opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Audrey McCleary noted that Mr. Lawhon did not offer to pay for her portion of the paving which is approximately $800. She explained that she owns lots 7 and 8 on the block between Fairview Road North and 4th Ave. S.W. Every house on 12th Street S.W. between 11th lane and 12th Street faces 12th Street S.W. Mrs. McCleary found it rather strange that the proposed paving stops in the middle of one of their lots. Chairman Lyons explained that the petition is for paving the road that fronts the developer's property. Mrs. McCleary did not understand why they have to bear the burden of paving when it does not benefit their property in any way; all the garages face 12th Street and they don't use 11th 40
