This Public Hear'ing is for the purpose of AREA NO. 6 proposing the establishment of a Special Service area to GEORGE & A~ provide specific roadway improvements for portions of south ROADWAY Albert and George Streets. This project would cost IMPROVEMEN' approximately $700,000 with the cost to be shared on a 50/50 basis between the property owners benefiting from the improvement and the Village. Mayor Krause noted that the initial discussion of the proposed roadway improvement in this area began in June, 1986. Notices were sent to those people responsible for paying the taxes in the designated area informing them of this Public Hearing. This public hearing is the first step involved with the creation of a Special Service Area. Following the conclusion of this Public Hearing, the residents of the area will have a 60 day period to obtain signatures of 51% of the registered voters of the designated area and 51% of the owners of record of the designated area. A representative from the Village's consultant firm, Baxter and Woodman, presented the plan for the area, including rebuilding the street, installing curbs, restoring the individual driveway aprons from the street to the Sidewalk, and landscaping restoration where necessary. It was noted that the Village had accept the low qualified bid from Allied Asphalt in the amount of $560,362.40, with the condition that should the residents oppose the project in the manner prescribed by law, then the Village can cancelled the bid offer entirely. The following residents expressed the opinions on the proposed project: Margaret Hamondson, 211 S. Albert Street James E. MacMahon, 219 S. Albert Street Bob Alexander, 9 S. Albert Street Sharon Swenson, 410 S. Albert Street Charlie Houching, 318 S. Albert Street' Bill Radtke, 903 E. Lincoln Street Bud Cairns, 312 S. Albert Street Edmund Rolly, 411S. Albert Street Dan Reynolds, 322 S. Albert Street Clarence Moore, 321 S. Albert Street Doug Knight, 21S. Albert Street Don Millard, 205 S. Albert Street Joe Vaccerello, 14 S. George Street Robert Kotowski, 5 S. George Street George Kummer, 413 S. Albert Street Bill McElliqat, 105 S. George Street Erwin Vieck, 323 S. Albert Street Bob Aicher, 213 S. George Street Some of the concgrns expressed by the residents are as follows: That the improved roadway would create more traffic traveling at a higher rate of speed; Page 3 - January 20, 1986 Concern as to where the vehicles could park during construction; Will the area be kept clear of mud and mess during construction; Would like the area to remain as it is; If the improvements do not proceed, when would these streets be scheduled for resurfacing; Improve the streets but curbs aren't necessary; The increased amount on the real estate tax bill would deter prospective buyers; Improvement of the streets would create harm to the existing trees; Residents can't afford the additional amount; How will this improvement help with storm water run-off; The cost being based on assessed evaluation is not fair to the residents and could possibly be based on frontage; The following responses were given to questions: The street will be improved one-half at a time therefore the residents will have to co-operate with each other and be permitted to park in front on their neighbors home on the opposite side of the roadway. All attempts will be made to keep the area clean; The earliest time for resurfacing the streets if the proposed project did not proceed would range from 1991 to 1996, depending on the last time that portion of the roadway was resurfaced. It is anticipated that the proposed improvement would not harm the trees. The consultant did state that under the present conditions, the root system of the trees is being harmed by the ruts, etc. At present there are several flat areas which do not permit storm water run-off. With the improvement the streets would be constructed in a manner to direct that run-off to the storm sewers.

The number of registered voters in the area total 305, requiring a minimum of 156 valid signatures, and the number of owners of record total 269, requires a minimum of 137 signatures.
