That the remainder of Hematite and 156th Avenue will remain unpaved <br /> regardless of the vote. <br /> <br />That the City will not experience any undue or out of the necessary <br />road maintenance due to the existing unimproved roads in the immediate <br />area. <br /> <br />J <br /> <br />That the said units were originally a part of a separate addition <br />known as the Menkveld Addition and do not compare in size and <br />frontage with the Beaudry Addition. <br /> <br />6.
