Elea=r Yashewsk,:L, a property owner on the little triangle, felt Mr. Kahn can afford to pay, because he will benefit when he starts to develop his land. Dick Burgoon, owner of property on Willow Street and a piece called Fellsmere Woods, understood there had been a change from the original plan of where to assess. He stated he could use alternate routes other than Willow and wanted to be taken out of the assessment roll for certain of his properties. Mary Wilson, owner of property on 91st Street, had done some personal evaluation on the Berry property. She and others often use Mulberry to reach their property when Willow is not passable. She suggested that many others will use Willow when ; it,'s paved. She thought the County could be more creative in f inding more 'funds to pay for the paving in addition to the 25% already being used. Chuck Johnson, 12525 83rd Street, suggested the road be built as a residential road with a 6 inch base and an inch of asphalt.

He was confused because he received an assessment early -in the year and had never received an up-to-date assessment notice on his properties. Director Davis advised that 200 letters had been mailed and he should have received one if he was in the yellow area on the map. Steve Helfman, representing Mr. Kahn, pointed out that assessments to county residents actually will be paying for the paving because Fellsmere citizens did not want to pay their fair share. He felt it was basically unfair and it was a lot of money. He said there was a problem with the $150,000 for right-of-way acquisition, saying that Mr. Kahn was being assessed for acquiring his own land and claimed the County would be short $156,000.
