Page 3 The reason for disenchantment with double frontage lots is the assessments they generate. 'The solution to this problem is the equalization of assessments over the.entire tract. The general tax portion remaining would accrue to Lots 4, 5'and 6, Block,2. 12. The placement of the intersection of 17A Street and 23rd Avenue resulted from juggling to accommodate 23rd Avenue which cannot be placed any place else without depriving Wedgewood Addition And Hamilton Greens of the buffering effect of proper backlots. By leaving the proposed lot arrangement as it is the wetlands area can be partially preserved and a portion of each lot can accommodate a high value building to generate better tax revenue. While it is true that the two intersections are less than 100 feet, the traffic -flow at 8. trips per day from Brightwood Court would yeild _40 cars per day orabout about three per hour at modest speed. While there are limited reasons for variance on the grounds of hardship, the: argument is even stronger that the city itself will benefit more than it will be harmed by the proposed inter- section placement. 13. The.25 foot strip referred to.is not contemplated as being, in the plat by Brightwood Hills, the applicant. The strip' has been largely assessed and paid as to assessments. An adjacent owner should be the proper next owner but that should not happen yet in, the.event` that the village should need that strip for the -same purpose it has been used in the past. To categorize the strip as a probable nuisance is, therefore, premature and inaccurate. Yours truly, Vincent Si, Dahle
