He noted that the <br />residents have the 30 day appeal time to further study the project. <br />Jabbour explained that the Council has proceeded with its best <br />offer•and would not sreduce the assessment. He stated that it is <br />expected to cost.the City approximately $18,000.00 per house per <br />appeal. <br />Goetten noted that the Council is concerned about the health, <br />safety.and welfare of the residents and stated that if that is the <br />criteria for sewering an area, she hated to exclude anyone because <br />of the cost. <br />Jabbour suggested they order the project to begin, and if at the <br />end of the 30 day appeal period it is determined that there are too <br />many appeals.., drop that portion of the project. <br />It was moved by Butler, seconded by Callahan, to assess the trunk <br />charge to the properties on Cygnet Place, Leaf Street and Oxford <br />Road. Ayes 3, nays 2. Mayor Peterson and Goetten voted nay. <br />Motion failed. <br />Butler explained that when the trunk line is laid along Bayside <br />Road, it will present itself at the corner of Leaf Street and <br />County Road 84, which w i l l make it available for connection for the <br />properties on Oxford Road, Leaf Street and Cygnet Place. She felt <br />that because of that availability, the trunk charge should be <br />assessed to those,properties. <br />Goetten felt that by doing such would be doing the citizens in that <br />area a great disservice. <br />D'eterling clarified that since the -submittal of the petition <br />expressing opposition, the cost has been reduced, the DNR has <br />imposed restric =tive regulations, and many feel that sewer is <br />inevitable. <br />10 <br />
