Because ourstreetfaces; <br />a canal, we were charged more dm if there were homes on both sides of the sheeL At the time the <br />road was paved, we made it lmown that we felt t6i job that was done was not of good quality. This <br />=te obvious when almost every step, beginning with the basic preparation, had to be redone. The <br />had to be dug again, the culverts removed and relaid, sod removed and relaid, and ground <br />lowered and leveled. Almost immediately after completion, the asphalt began, cracking. When the sod <br />had been laid, heavy equipment dropped large quantities of off on the road. 11roughout this whole <br />process we expressed our dissatisfaction. <br />Just this week, one of the sub -contractors stated that the road had been done improperly and <br />should be redone. He was amazed when he discovered the road is only two years old- considering its <br />shape and deterioration. <br />All this to lead to the fact that this week our lawns were tom up, water pipes laid, and the road <br />was fiwther damaged. In several yards, the pavement is damaged to the point that as much as six inches <br />ofthe edge ofthe road has completely broken apart and fallen away. The aprons have been brokerimp <br />and carried off, and the gri ss has been totally destroyed. We have been told that the amount required <br />for replacement was figured in our water assessments. <br />However,just two years ago, we were charged for aprons and grass. At the time the paving was <br />planned, residen attended a commissioners meeting and asked that paving be delayed to avoid these <br />very problems. The request was denied. <br />We, the residents of 35th Avenue (blocks 400-500) are very upset and feel that being charged <br />twice for grass and concrete aprons is unjust and unethical. We therefore petition that we be reassessed <br />minus the expense of grass and aprons (including labor), for which we have alrwdy been charged. <br />JUL D 1993 <br />b '5 , !��fpqe_ <br />S <br />ch <br />,el7j— <br />G Wckx a. <br />-r9S- <br />18 A <br />Boa 89 F�nF103 8 <br />
