_ BOOK 84 p ,E 9Ql SEP I 11991 The following petitions were received: 1) June 1, 1991 - Petition received not in favor of increasing the assessment, 68 households signed, 89 persons signed: 2) July, 1991 - Petition received in favor of increasing _ the assessment, 123 households signed, 154 persons signed. 3) August 7, 1991 - Petition received not in favor of increasing the assessment, 104 households, 129 persons signed. It should be noted that many common names appeared on two of the above petitions not in favor. Chairman Bird opened the public hearing on the Vero Lake Estates MSTU and asked if anyone wished to be heard. Mike Anderson, 7835 94th Court, Vero Lake Estates, advised that he has lived out here for 7 years and has seen the condition of the roads go from bad to worse. These roads turn a new car into an old car in about 2 years, and the cost of that is certainly more than the increased MSTU cost. He believed there is a small group of people against the proposed paving from Pine Lake Estates and Less Pine Lakes, and while he sympathized with those people, he felt even those people will benefit from the improvements and urged the Board to vote in favor of paving. Susan Peters, 8980 106th Avenue, Less Pine Lake Estates, informed the Board that she does have additional signatures against the proposed paving and she does have a copy and originals with her. Mrs. Peters stated that according to her figures tallying those opposed, plus letters of opposition, and she checked to make sure she didn't count someone twice, there were 150 individuals opposed, and it equates to 120 households. The original petition showed 35 individuals in addition to the ones on August 7th, and her grand total is 185 individuals against, or 145 households. Chairman Bird asked if Mrs. Peters was saying that she has screened the list and that figure is without duplications, and Mrs. Peters confirmed this. Mrs. Peters noted that another problem they found at last week's meeting was that there was a lot of mention about drainage, and she wished to reiterate why they feel so strongly this is intended more for paving than for drainage. Mrs. Peters then proceeded to quote from numerous PRESS JOURNAL articles which mention only paving. She also believed it was said at the meeting last week that Mr. Ansin, one of the very largest property owners, it not opposed to the proposed project, but the newspaper article said he is one of the opponents. 32
