SEB 27 1990 Boo 79 P,�GE 3 7 S Director Davis explained that in doing the assessment, staff split the church property in half and considered half the property would access U.S.I and the other half 134th Street. He further explained that the assessment roll was done purely on a cost per acre assessment basis, not on front footage. Chairman Eggert asked if anyone present wished to be heard. Wayne Sims, 13385 80th Ave., informed the Board that 134th Street goes in'front of his house. They did a rough survey, and at least 23 of the 25 people who own homes there are against the paving. Some of those people aren't here today because they have to work. Mr. Sims noted that some of the people moved to this street just because they thought it was a dead end. He has 3 children; they all ride bikes; and with the additional traffic, it wouldn't be as safe. He also was against the way the paving is being billed because normally it would be by front footage. He happens to own more than 1 acre and would pay more. Mr. Sims felt that probably 98% of the traffic on the road would be church traffic; he sees the possibility the road will have to be repaved at some time; and he wished to know who would pay for that. He conceded that his property value probably will go up, but the possibility of resale probably will go down. He asked if the church has checked out other solutions to their problems. Mr. Sims believed that St. Joseph's Church on Babcock Street in Palm Bay has a similar problem, and they pay a traffic cop to handle the traffic. Norbert Resop, 134th Street, stated that first of all, the residents don't want the paving, but he also wished to know how come they are charging $8/9 a foot for 126th Street while they are charging them $13.73 a lineal foot. Mr. Resop contended that the church created this problem, and he believed they should open 134th Street the other way to the south and solve their own problem instead of congesting the residents on 134th Street north of them. 30
