He feels 161st is wide enough. <br /> <br />Mr. W. Mox spoke on behalf of his father. He explained that a shelter belt <br />was planted on three roads and he is concerned that the road would wipe out <br />several hundred trees. <br /> <br />Engineer Raatikka said the road is now 28 to 30 feet wide and it would be <br />widened to 32 feet maximum. It would mean a very minimal removal of trees, <br />if any. <br /> <br />Mr. Mox asked about unit cost and per foot cost and how these were arrived at. <br /> <br />Engineer Raatikka replied that there are two units of $466 plus whatever front <br />foot Mr. Mox has. <br /> <br />Mr. Delaney asked how his property is determined to be 16 units. <br /> <br />Engineer Raatikka replied that it requires at least 200 feet to get a unit. <br /> <br />Mr. Delaney asked how the number of units is determined. <br /> <br />Engineer Raatikka replied that he used approximately three acres to a unit. <br /> <br />Mr. Delaney said he has two swamps on his land and doesn't feel he should be <br />assessed for them. <br /> <br />Engineer Raatikka explained that he took that into consideration and eliminated <br />the Westerly portion of Mr. Delaney's land. <br /> <br />Mr. Delaney said he.has li-ved-qqer~ for 53 years with the road unpaved. He <br />has no intention of developing and has no use for the road. He asked if the <br />16 units meant he could develop 16 pieces of property. <br /> <br />Engineer Raatikka replied that he inferred that 16 units would include both <br />pieces of his property and that he would be paying front footage on the road <br />that runs along the property. <br /> <br />David Full, 16325 Marmoset, presented a letter. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec read the letter which stated people in Woodlawn Estates feel this <br />road benefits someone else, not them. They feel they already paid when <br />blacktopping went through their development. The letter included a signed <br />petition objecting to the improvement. <br /> <br />Mr. Full stated that all of the homeowners in the area signed the petition <br />except two who are moving out of the area. <br /> <br />Mr. Green, 16011 Kangaroo said that Oakridge Estates entrance can't be more <br />than 300 feet from Armstrong Blvd., therefore it is a frivilous reason for <br />blacktopping the street. <br /> <br />Gary Albrecht, 16424 Okapi Street, asked by what and how was 153rd paid for. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec explained that 153rd Avenue is an MSA street, designated as a major <br /> <br /> <br />
