6.1. Consideration of Bituminous Overlay Project for Ridgewood East and
Ridgewood East Third Additions/Public Hearing
Terry Maurer, City Engineer, explained the proposed area to be assessed
for bituminous overlay for existing overlay. He indicated the total
project cost would be approximately $159,000 and noted the City is
proposing to assess $1,100 per unit which would total $129,800 at 118
lots. He stated that the City share of the project would be $30,100.
e
Mayor Hinkle opened the public hearing.
Mark Ziska who lived in Ridgewood East 3rd Addition indicated he was in
agreement that the roads needed repair but felt that the southern 1/3 of
Brentwood, the School, the vacant property south of King Circle and the
multiple dwellings south of Highland and west of Jackson Road should be
assessed.
Mr. Maurer at this time explained that the test of an assessment is the
benefit to the property. He noted one reason the multiple dwellings were
not included was because they had double frontage. He also noted that
the vacant lot was not included because it would be hard to know how much
to assess the lot because of the size. He further explained that if
additional properties were added to the project, the cost of $1,100 per
lot would not be reduced. He indicated that City cost would be reduced.
Charles Flood indicated he owned a vacant lot in Ridgewood East on 192nd
Circle. He noted that he shared the concern of Mr. Ziska relating to the
distribution of the cost of the assessment to other surrounding property
owners such as the school and the multiple dwellings.
Roy Friendshuh indicated he was a resident of Ridgewood East and
questioned if there were any chance of water and sewer being put in this
area. He stated he would like to see the project delayed if there were
any chance this would happen in the near future.

Mr. Irving Classen indicated he lived on Tyler Street and questioned if

project was strictly an overlay and indicated that if the rebuilding of
Tyler Street was going to be considered in the future. he would propose
dropping Tyler Street from the overlay project.
Mr. John Baccus indicated he lived on 197th and Tyler and indicated he
would like to see Tyler Street taken off the overlay project because he
felt it would be money thrown away.
A resident from 202nd Avenue indicated he felt Tyler Street should not be
an option in the overlay project. He stated he felt the City should
e budget for the rebuilding of Tyler Street because it is a main street.

to be overlayed which included 202nd and Vance Street and then also

speed study be done first so the City has some sort of direction on how
to proceed with this project.
