FUBLIC HEARINGS
Mayor Staples opened a Public Hearing to consider the basswork and sur-
facing of Foreetvi m Lane from Ridgemount Avenue to County Road 15.
Mayor Staples sta%.sd that the original improvement of this road in 1961
was ordered and made prior to the present Ceuneil ant.'. Village Engineer.
Unfortunately, the people who have just paid for this improvement did not
get what they paid for and the Council is aware rf this, however, the
Council, visited t&'s site about a month ago and came to the conclusion
that this read does need improvement.
Mayor Staples intrarlueed the Villabv Engineer, Otte Bonestroo, who reported
that upon investigation they had found that for most parts of the road
there is very little if any base under the road and this is the reason that
it is breaking up. They propose to take the existing mat and pulverise it
and use it as a base to construct a seven ton road with an ultimate of nine
tons. The total cost is estimated to be $11000 and with approximately
4,150 assessable flet, the cost per foot would be $2.80.
Following the Engineer's presentation, members of the public present were
invited to ask questions and make such comments aa they might have. The
following appeared&
Russell W. Falletad, 330 Forestview Lane - questioned method of
assessment, supervision of construction and why the original
improvement did not stand up. He stated that he thought the
road must be repaired but he can see no reason w1W the resiClents
should be assessel for it.
Benodict i4nasso, 404 Forestview - stated that he felt that the trucks
used in the construction of Ridgesmount Avenue had broken up the
141acktop on Forestview.
William Duenow, 18 Forestview - felt that the assessment for the
improvement should be spread over the entire Village because of
the church sod school traffic on this road.
Father Louis, St. Mary's of the Lake Church - questioned if this was
to be the last public hearit.g on this matter. Mayor Staples stated
that he felt that the Council would went to go aver this very
thoroughly and make a different decision from the normal assessment
