Since it was cheaper for the City to expand the cemetery west to <br />the edge of what they had agreed to designate as a street, they <br />were not going to honor the agreement. Mrs. Wyatt felt it might <br />be of interest in this matter. She certainly would be opposed to <br />paying twice the assessment if the City were exempted, but she <br />was not opposed to having the street paved at the proposed <br />assessment cost. She also wished to point out that when she <br />asked the cost for paving a linear foot, she was told $40, but <br />when she did the arithmetic on her assessment, it comes out to a <br />little in excess of $45 per linear foot. <br />Alan Stadnick, property owner on 22th Avenue, advised that <br />in the last two years the cemetery constructed a maintenance <br />building on 14th Street which has primary egress and ingress from <br />12th Avenue. He felt the cemetery would have a definite benefit <br />from that road being paved. Their trucks use 12th Street as well <br />as 14th Street, so he felt it is unfair to say that they would <br />not derive a benefit from the paving of 12th Avenue. With regard <br />to the Mobley/Blackburn property, there are 5 houses that front <br />12th Avenue that would benefit from the paving of the road. He <br />didn't know if the owners of that tract are in favor of'the <br />paving of 12th Avenue, but he did know that the tenants of these <br />houses are in favor because he has talked with them about it. <br />Mr. Stadnick stated that he was in favor of the petition paving <br />project, but didn't think it was fair to exempt the City of Vero <br />Beach for the cemetery footage. <br />Mr. Nason confirmed that the maintenance building is on 14th <br />Street and there is an access that can be obtained by coming up <br />12th Avenue, but it isn't their primary ingress and egress. <br />Chairman Eggert understood that visitors cannot get to <br />gravesites from 12th Avenue, and Mr. Nason explained that the <br />City has fenced that in completely and it is also elevated at one <br />end with a walled construction. They have concentrated on having <br />the entrance in the front. <br />5 'IQ9 39 BOOK <br />I <br />
