there is the possibility that everyone in this area may want to participate. Commissioner Bird did not see why we should let the DOT off the hook since they apparently have determined this left turn lane is needed there. Director Davis noted that it is mainly a matter of timing, and Commissioner Bird felt that we should go ahead and approve Mr. Hedin's project and take his fair share contribution and escrow that amount of money and tell the DOT we think they should go ahead with their project. Discussion ensued about the warehouse facility that is in the same area but does not have a CO, and staff advised that the developer of the warehouse was supposed to build the left turn lane prior to getting his CO. It was noted that we could put a lien against that property, which would account for part of the cost. Commissioner Bird agreed we should put.a lien against that property for whatever the owner was supposed to contribute and take Mr. Hedin's $3,000 besides, and discussion continued at length about the proposed assessment and who benefits, etc. It was noted that the developer of the warehouse did not pursue a forced assessment. Attorney Michael O'Haire came before the Board representing Karl Hedin and contended that what is really happening is that the DOT by a letter is attempting to impose a moratorium. That is not right. Mr. Hedin did not create this problem and it hasn't been demonstrated that he will aggravate it to any considerable extent. He stressed that Mr. Hedin is prepared to pay his fair share, and to tell him that you go ahead and escrow your money, but we will withhold your CO until a left turn lane gets built, is not right and is a moratorium to all effects. Mr. Hedin is willing to do his part, but he is not willing to shoulder the whole load when it is not all his problem. 79 Ji1�y� BOOK 77 7 9:
