City Council minutes June 6, 1994 Page 5 e 7.2. Public Hearina to consider authorizina street improvements to Peterson Addition and Greenhead Acres 2nd Addition Terry Maurer, City Engineer, indicated that Staff is proposing a bituminous overlay improvement for the Peterson Addition and the Greenhead Acres 2nd Addition. Terry Maurer explained that there is an exsiting assessment for those property owners in the Peterson. The assessment is for the original street construction and ran for 20 years. There are approximately 6 years remaining on the assessment. Mayor Duitsman opened the public hearing. Brad Stevens of 19426 Ogden St. NW questioned the timeframe for water and sewer in this area. Terry Maurer explained that there are not plans for city services to this area at this time. Roberta Beauchaine of 13812 196th Ave NW indicated that the residents in the area have been assessed for a road that was built improperly. The residents were told that the City would pay for the maintenance. Bill Beauchaine of 13812 196th Ave NW indicated that the City did not build the road correctly. He further stated that the road is in bad shape at this time and he does not feel that an overlay will correct the problems in the road. e Discussion was held regarding postponing the assessment for the Peterson Addition for five years, or until the original assessments are paid. Mark Bay of 20779 York Street suggested that if the overlay for Peterson Addition is delayed for five years, perhaps the overlay for Greenhead Acres 2nd Addition could also be delayed until the overlays in Greenhead 1 st and 3rd Additions take place. He also informed the Council that the improvement was not a petitioned improvement. Phil Hals, Street Superintendent, stated that at the end of five years the Peterson Addition could require a total reconstruction. He indicated that Greenhead Acres 1 st and 3rd Additions are scheduled for overlays in one year. Mayor Duitsman asked for a show of hands of those Peterson Addition residents who would rather delay the overlay until a later date. He indicated that a delay could cost the residents more money as the road may need to be totally rebuilt. A majority of the residents indicated they would rather see the improvement postponed. Lois Brown of 19224 Ogden indicated that an assessment for the road at this time would be a major burden for her. She indicated that she is still recovering financially from ditch problems that occurred in her area. Connie Fearing of 19387 Ogden St. NW indicated that she still owes $1,500 on the original assessment. She stated that she was informed that the city would take care of the road. e
