M ® M that the petition was initiated by the residents in the area through the normal process, but on the east side of the roadway there are only two property owners, one being the City of Vero Beach, and the other being the Mobleys and the Blackburns who own 615 feet of frontage. So there are two property owners who have not signed the petition who own half the frontage on the project. The Chairman opened the Public Hearing, and asked if anyone wished to be heard on the paving of 12th Avenue. Vero Beach Finance Director Tom Nason advised that the City does not see any specific benefit to Crestlawn Cemetery of having that road paved. The cemetery was platted back in the early 40s and the portion you are looking at is the old part of the cemetery. None of that can be used for ingress or egress because there are gravesites along the perimeter of the roadway, just a few feet off of it in fact. The City feels they should be exempted from the assessment for the cemetery. Commissioner Bird felt that if we are going to exempt the City and throw.that additional cost back on the remaining property owners, we should go back to them with a revised assessment and see what their reaction is to the City's exemption. Director Davis advised that the assessment for a typical 100 -ft. lot is $1690, and if we do not assess the whole east side of the roadway, or if we do not assess just the cemetery portion, their assessment would increase $800 t.o $1700 and could go as high as $3400, which would be the largest assessment we have proposed. However, the Mobleys and the Blackburns have 615 feet of frontage and there would be a benefit to having frontage on that road, even though they presently have access to that tract through 11th Avenue. Eleventh Avenue is not shown on the map because that property is not subdivided. It is just a road that goes through their property in a southerly direction that is not reflected on the Tax Collector's rolls. 37 BOOK 19
