Lane. She did not feel they should share the cost of paving 11th <br />Lane just because the developer wants to develop that land. <br />Corrine Bean, 12th Street S.W., stated that since the <br />developer has agreed to pay for the paving of 11th Lane, S.W., it <br />does away with her argument and just wanted it on the record that <br />the developer will pay for it. <br />Ann Marie Hammill asked how this would affect the property <br />tax assessment, and Administrator Wright explained that the <br />Property Appraiser bases his assessments on what the houses are <br />selling for in the surrounding neighborhood. He does not auto- <br />matically come in and raise the taxes when a street is paved. <br />Commissioner Bird believed this paving will only affect <br />their assessment if all of a sudden houses in that area start <br />selling for a lot more than what they are currently selling for. <br />Mrs. McCleary asked if the developer was paying for the <br />paving, and Commissioner Scurlock explained that he is paying for <br />his portion of the assessment and picking up the paving costs for <br />the four homes that are not facing in that direction. <br />Mr. Lawhon confirmed that he is paying for 4 lots: Condon, <br />Bean and the next two houses. <br />Mrs. McCleary still believed he should pay for her two lots, <br />but Chairman Lyons pointed out that when they build on those <br />lots, they have the ability to build facing either street. <br />Mrs. McCleary did not feel they could because of the way the <br />septic system and wells were laid out, but Commissioner Scurlock <br />advised her that they could put their well in the front and <br />septic in the back, or vice versa. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously closed <br />the Public Hearing. <br />41 <br />C 11 BooK 62 Pari <br />
