City Council Minutes March 4, 1991 Page 3 e Mr. Maurer explained that it was Staff's recommendation to reduce the number of units for Mr. Allen's property from 4 to 2 because of the depth of the property. Mr. Maurer also indicated that it was Staff's recommendation to reduce the number of units for the Holzem property from 8 to 6 due to the wetlands. The total assessable uni ts after these reductions is 37. Mr. Maurer stated that Staff recommendation is to assess each unit at $2,000. Mr. Maurer stated that the proposed plan also calls for a bike trail on sides of Fillmore. This bike path does not increase the assessment amount for each property owner. Vice Mayor Schuldt opened the public hearing. SCQ.tt Mi tch~1~10075 1751;.J1. AvenJJ~ Scott Mitchell stated that if the City takes land from him for easement or right-ow-way purposes I this would take him out of the green acre classification. He further indicated that the City does not own the road and therefore cannot assess him. Pat I:Iolzem - 18~Z-f) Davis Street e Pat Holzem indicated that he was informed by the County that the City cannot assess his property because it is listed as Green Acres. Mr. Holzem also expressed his concern with the City taking land for easement purposes. He indicated that this would affect his farming operation because there would be less land for him to farm. EmJ!la H~tlze!!!.-=-1.6_~2 5-.l2I].'yj~J?.t.r~et Emma Holzem expressed her opposition to the proposed bike trail. She indicated that a bike trail is not necessary as it would not connect to any other trail or road. Ms. Holzem also stated that a bike trail would be a potential hazard for the farming operation as there would be the danger of bikers being hit by farm equipment. P.!J._LijQl~_eIlL-=-lJl~..2JLJ2a vi ELJIt.r.Q..e_t Pat Holzem questioned the engineer as to how he arrived at the reduction of assessable units from 8 to 6. He also questioned the need to take the easement from only the west side of the road. Terry Maurer explained that the west side for easements was suggested because the west side of the road is agricultural and the east side is already developed as residential. ~ordQP Mire - 17753 FillmQT~ Street e Gordon Mire expressed his opposition to the bike trail being on both sides of Fillmore. He stated his preference to see the bike trail on only the east side because it would be safer for his children. He indicated that he was in agreement with the easement being fully on the west side of the road.
