I <br />I <br />ie <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Ms. Frolik stated that the signed agreement for Rivenwick did not show any responsibility for the <br />vacation of the easement. <br /> <br />Dean Rick, 6802 - 137th Avenue N.W., husband of Sharon Wagner - stated that their house was <br />the first one built in Riverside West 14 years ago, yet they were never notified of the public hearing <br />when the wa~er and sewer came through. He stated they have close to $25,000 in assessments for <br />the sewer an~t water on both lots, plus park dedication, if they want to split. He feels he should <br />not be chars ~b, xl for the sewer and water on his existing lot, only on the new lot. He also feels he <br />should notl~ assessed for the vacation of the easement because the street was put through to <br />benefit the R~venwick development, and he would have prefenexl to keep his quiet cul-de-sac. <br /> <br />City Enginec~r lankowski agreed that both sides of the cul-de-sac should be vacated. He suggested <br />getting the discussion of City Council as to whether Rivenwick, the City, or the individual <br />property ow~ers are responsible for the vacation.
