JUN 16 1987 BOOK E S Discussion continued in regard to the grader route and the cost of maintaining these roads, which are the only two roads on the route on the east side of U.S.I., and Administrator Balczun believed it should be pointed out that over a period of time as we pave more roads, it is likely we may not want to run a grader up there and the grading cycle may become less and less frequent. Mr. Rice did not object to the paving of the roads, but to the cost to the property owner, which he did not feel they can justify. Commissioner Eggert inquired over what period the assessment is required to be paid and was informed two years. Commissioner Wheeler asked if we can table action on this matter and give the people an option of having the road abandoned or having it paved. Attorney Vitunac stated that the hearing can be postponed to a time certain, and we could have the Engineering Department review this. Administrator Balczun believed the abandonment could get quite complex, and he felt every property owner should know up front what it will cost them to maintain the road as it is quite likely over a period of time, the grading will cost them a lot more than paving. Commissioner Eggert stated that she would like to table and have Public Works meet with the owners, explain the difference in costs, etc. Engineer Brescia advised that staff has met with the owners, but will be glad to do so again. Commissioner Wheeler felt the area will develop, and Commis- sioner Bird believed the map shows that there are about 25 lots on these roads. Mrs. Rice stated that they cannot grow because Pelican Pointe is all around them, and she also believed you must have two lots in order to build. 36
