Carol Rehling, 11015 197th Avenue - Stated that the commercial traffic is heavy on her road and she felt the developers of subdivisions to the east should be assessed because they bring in the commercial vehicle traffic. She stated that she would like to see speed bumps and stop signs installed on her street. Vic Arnold, 910 York Street - Stated that he would like tl~s project delayed until the drinking water issued is resolved. He is concerned that utilities will come through at a later date to tear up the road and install new water pipes.

Dennis Morphew, 863 Vernon Avenue - Stated that his driveway fills approximately half way up with water from snow melt after the snowplow dumps it by his driveway. He is concerned that an additional one and a half inch overlay will create a greater build up of water in his driveway. He stated that he is concerned about the safety of children during the overlay project. Mike Thiry, 19031 Lincoln Street - Stated that he didn't believe the road needed an overlay. He felt that drainage issues should be dealt with. Mr. Thiry questioned whether a turn lane could be installed on County Road 13 at the same time as this project.

He felt that the industrial area should not be assessed more units. Troy DeMars, 14220 182-a Avenue - Requested that the Council review the assessment policy. He felt that everyone chosen for an overlay project in a given year should not be lumped together. He felt that residents with less linear feet are being made to pick up the burden of properties that have more linear feet. Vice Mayor Dietz closed the overlay public hearing and overlay assessment hearing. Vice Mayor Dietz stated that if any residents have an objection to this overlay assessment, they must submit a written objection before close of this assessment discussion. He stated that after a written objection has been submitted, it is the citizen's responsibility to file an appeal to the district court within ten days.

He stated that three properties on 197th Avenue are on a portion of the street that was recently reconstructed and will not need the overlay.
