Road <br />improvement will require a 40' easement on the Pearson property. <br /> <br />Dave Pearson - Inquired as to why the road can't be entirely on Northfork <br />property; constructing as proposed will require the removal of 40 year old <br />trees; the road will not benefit the Pearson property in any way. <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka stated that 153rd will be a MSA route and the only assessments <br />made will be for drainage in Northfork; there will be no assessment to the <br />Pearsons property. The Pearson will be compensated for trees lost to the <br />improvement. <br /> <br />Dave Pearson - Stated that the increase in traffice due to the development will <br />create a need to blacktop Puma; will the Pearson's be assessed for that? Are <br />these MSA designations a sure thing? <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka replied that Puma would also be paid for with MSA funds.
