IF_ -OCT l 1986 Booit 66 PA'i 40 Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing for the south half of Ercildoune Heights Subdivision and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Attorney George Collins, representing American Medicorp., Inc., owners of Humana Hospital, stated his clients are objecting to being assessed for 6 lots when those lots are actually unplatted property. He confirmed that there is a sewer plant at the corner and there is no access from the hospital onto 140th Street or into Ercildoune, and none is intended.

The proposed resolution infers that two- thirds of the owners within the approved area have approved the plan, but his clients own a substantial portion of the property and do not approve of the project. It may be that two-thirds of the owners within the defined area have approved the plan, but certainly two-thirds of -the owners on 140th Street have not approved the plan. He stressed that this is not a voluntary petition, but a County -initiated project. The hospital will not receive any benefits from being included in this project, and he felt it would be a form of gerrymandering to include this property since the hospital property will not have any access onto the subdivision roads. Director Davis pointed out that the hospital owners have indicated that they would not be interested in donating the other 35 feet R/W for 140th Street and paying the assessment too. He felt it would be nice to get additional R/W, but we can still perform the paving because we are going curb and gutter. Chairman Scurlock just wanted it made clear that the Board wishes to save whatever trees we can. Attorney Collins believed there is no reason for the hospital to dedicate any R/W because they do not intend to 40 M
