Mayor Gamec said the city hasn't had any problem with garbage trucks on <br />these streets and there is a 3" Class V gravel base. <br /> <br />Mr. Becker noted the residents pay the cost~ but the city uses the streets <br />at the expense of the taxpayers in the community and the city assumes no <br />cost. <br /> <br />Mr. Becker read a letter from Mr. Hill who was not present and who owns lots <br />on Dolomite and Ebony Streets. Mr. Hill said in his letter that he wanted <br />to go on record as opposing the project because he moved into a country area <br />in Ramsey away from the city for the country atmosphere with private roads <br />and because two or three families use the roads for a race track and he <br />felt if the road is paved, the racing will be worse. <br /> <br />Mr. Becket said he opposed the paving of the roads for basically two reasons: <br />1) the blacktop will promote the race track atmosphere by promoting more usage <br />and therefore more racing. He said he didn't want to promote that kind of <br />atmosphere and he has called the local law enforcement officers regarding <br />this matter many times. He said he was also thinking of his children's safety. <br />2) He is opposed 'to the overall costs and he cannot afford almost $4,000 over <br />10 years with the propect of sewer & water in 15 to 20 years on top of the <br />already burdening assessment. <br /> <br />Mr. Becker said if the city is going to improve the area~ he would like to see <br />some caution signs out there regarding children and also some law enforcement. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec said as far as the signs are concerned, there is going to be signs <br />put up with or without the paving. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilman Reimann and seconded by Councilman Mickelson to close the <br />public hearing. <br /> <br />A vote was taken of the residents present. 23.residents voted. 15 voted for <br />and 10 voted against the project. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
