Robert Hall, 765 63rd Street, calculated that only 17% of the owners are in favor of the paving project. He felt most of the people are now against the project because of the addition of drainage improvements. Going to a 60 -ft. right-of-way would result in the loss of natural foliage. He urged the Board not to do this project. Kelly Beal of 4th Lane advised that there are approximately 25 children who board the school bus on that street every morning and people are already driving too fast down that street. -With the street paved, it will only get worse. When they first moved there, it was a country setting and they don't want to lose that. Betsy McMann, 442 7th Place, was concerned about the safety of her two children if the road was paved. She was also concerned about losing some of the natural foliage that is now in her front yard. Diane Greto, 6306 4th Place, agreed with everything her neighbors have said in their opposition to the paving and drainage project. She would lose three beautiful oak trees with a 60 -ft. road right-of-way. Elizabeth Mason came to the podium again to state that she was never polled. She is opposed to the paving project. Mrs. Gentile advised that phone calls to Mrs. Mason were not returned. Chairman Tippin asked if anyone else wished to be heard. There being none, he closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Eggert had a real problem in approving a project that doesn't have 66-2/3 percent support. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, to deny the petition paving project. Under discussion, Commissioner Adams asked about the drainage situation in that area, and Director Davis explained that we would require another 30 feet on either side for the swale system. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and carried unanimously. 55 MAY 2 41994 Pn,% 02 F{QF.500 I
