Fr__ -1 <br />AUL 71987 ,� r <br />Commissioner Bird asked if we have any provisions for a long <br />term installment plan on assessments on large parcels that will <br />not be developed for some years, and Chairman Scurlock advised <br />that we have the ability to spread the payment over 5 years for <br />those property owners who would have a real hardship in paying <br />their assessments over 3 years. <br />Louise Harshman, 2304 2nd Avenue SE, expressed her <br />satisfaction with the alteration that was done on a drainage <br />problem there when they put a corrugated drainage pipe under the <br />road so that the water would drain into the "pond" instead of her <br />yard. Now, however, if the road is to be hard -based, she is <br />concerned that the water will drain into her yard again. <br />Chairman Scurlock assured Mrs. Harshman that the road will <br />be designed so that the water will drain off properly. <br />Helen Diorio, 2358 SE 2nd Avenue, felt that the paving was <br />badly needed because they have been eating dirt for many, many <br />years, and wished to go on record as being in favor of the <br />project. <br />Beatrice Holland, 12 Tarpon Drive, advised that she is the <br />owner of what everybody refers to as "the pond", and emphasized <br />that she was never informed about any petition paving project. <br />She expressed concern about the payments and the impact the <br />drainage part of the project would have on her "pond." <br />Director Davis explained that, basically, Mrs. Holland's <br />property is some 10 acres of unplatted land to the north of the <br />subdivision, and she is being assessed for 10 equivalent lots. <br />The topography in that area naturally tends to drain towards Mrs. <br />Holland's property, and that was the drainage pattern when the <br />subdivision was created in the 1950s. Staff has responded in <br />writing to her concerns over the project, advising her that when <br />the project is designed, they will be looking at ways to divert <br />the drainage away from her property. He believed, however, that <br />it will be difficult to change the natural drainage ,patterns in <br />that -area, noting that the pond is more like a low area. <br />28 <br />
