I the paving project. Jean Cool owns property directly across from the Amoco and the road is already paved. She questioned why she had to pay for paving that had already been done. R. J. MacMillan, 305 Live Oak Road, was the owner of Oslo Trade Center on 18'h Avenue. The business is located on 18" Avenue SW, which is paved. Part of their Developer's Agreement specifies that when they build their warehousing, they will have to pave 10'h Avenue SW. He thought spot -paving was not a good idea and that the entrance off 20'h Avenue was a help to all parties. Concerning the assessment being based on square footage, he thought it was fair to assess his property based on that even though there was already paving on one side. It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the Chairman closed the public hearing. Public Works Director James W. Davis wished to address some of Mrs. Sommerfroind's comments. First, he reported Mr. MacMillan has signed the petition and is in concurrence with the petition. Second, he pointed out that in paragraph 21 in the Developer's Agreement, there is a very important "if' and Mr. Cooksey had been told from the start that the County could not guarantee that a special assessment would be approved. If it is, and if it is the Board's desire to include the whole project as staff has recommended, then the developer would be reimbursed. That paragraph was added to the Developer's Agreement prior to approval of the agreement. Director Davis explained that there are two ways to qualify a petition, it can be signed by 2/3rds of the property owners or by 2/3rds of the owners with front footage. Over the years, the County has recognized both ways; therefore, the petition is valid. The August 15, 2000 .Y BK 1 1 4 PG 5 9 5 0
