A petition was received from the property owners on this road. <br />Owners of 8 of the 12 properties signed the petition making it 67% in favor of having this <br />road paved. <br />On December 19, 1995, the Board of County Commissioners adopted another Resolution <br />95-167 setting the date and time for a Public Hearing to discuss the advisability, cost and <br />amount of the assessment against each property owner. This hearing is scheduled <br />for January 16, 1996. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners move to approve the assessment <br />roll, and confirming resolution with changes, if airy, made after input at the January 16, 1996 <br />Public Hearing. Revised confirming resolution and assessment roll will be forwarded to <br />Chairman of the Board for signature. The Assessment Roll and assessment plat are on file <br />with the Clerk to the Board of County Commissioner's office. <br />County Engineer Michelle Gentile reviewed the project for the <br />Board. <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone <br />wished to be heard in this matter. <br />Paul Grenier of 21st Avenue was against the project because he <br />feared there would be damage to the oak trees. Mr. Grenier <br />explained that he is in the landscaping industry and that it takes <br />5 years for a damaged tree to eventually die. <br />Chairman Adams wanted to be sure we are not getting rid of the <br />trees and Ms. Gentile responded that the road as designed is 22 <br />feet wide and can be changed to 20 feet, as well as putting the <br />drainage on the west side of the road, which will avoid damage to <br />the trees. <br />Director Jim Davis explained that the services of an urban <br />forester are always requested and that the department does take the <br />advice given. The County will do everything possible to preserve <br />the trees. <br />JANUARY 16, 1996 11 Bou 97 Face 101 <br />
