JAN 2 9 1991 u�01, 1111U` <br />was and did not petition to have this done. His other comment was <br />a complaint' regarding the removal of dirt from the original berm <br />by the developer of Woodbridge and he presented photographs to the <br />Board members showing this removal. <br />_ Engineer Gentile advised that the removal of dirt from the <br />berm was done after the developer had donated an additional 25 feet <br />of right of way so the dirt that was removed was actually on the <br />developer's property. <br />Luther Higinson, 3920 7th Street, said he was one of the <br />property owners who requested the water project and said people <br />were upset because the estimate letter for both that project and <br />the paving did not say "an estimate." However, it was pointed out <br />by Director Davis that it did, after which Mr. Higinson apologized. <br />He also complained about the removal of the berm by the Woodbridge <br />developer, saying several cars had to be pulled out of the ditch. <br />Robert Mooney, developer of Woodbridge Estates, wanted to <br />clarify that no one from Woodbridge ever initiated a paving <br />project. <br />Engineer Gentile agreed it was County -initiated. <br />Mr. Mooney continued, saying in 1988 the required amount of <br />money was escrowed and at that date it was more than sufficient. <br />He explained about the removal of dirt from the berm, emphasizing <br />that they moved no one's fill except their own and said the ditch <br />has always been there and Woodbridge has done nothing to harm its <br />neighbors or cause a drainage problem. In addition, he stressed <br />that Woodbridge also donated over an acre of land, the 25 -foot <br />right of way, which had cost $25,000 six months previous and he <br />felt the County has the total amount Woodbridge should pay. <br />There was discussion -.regarding escrowed funds and interest <br />accumulated and inflation. <br />John Coughlin, 3925 7th Street, said he is extremely happy <br />with the water that was requested but there was no voluntary <br />request for paving and he is definitely against it. He also <br />stressed there is definitely a drainage problem that was caused by <br />Woodbridge. <br />Engineer Gentile believed the proposed project would alleviate <br />that particular drainage problem. <br />Chairman Bird closed the public hearing. <br />16 <br />
