City of New Brighton March 8, 1983 Page Four I should be no need for this storm sewer that is proposed. Mrs. Betty Rolland, 1555 Silver Lake Road, stated that there is an outlet from Stony Lake at the southwest corner of the lake. Ms. Mary Dymanyk, 2651 15th St. N.W., questioned how the storm sewer improvement would be assessed. Mayor Harcus stated that storm sewer assessment would be on a square footage basis for those properties within the water shed. Ms. Linda Trevorrow, 1694 23rd Ave. N.W., questioned whether property taxes would be increased if, in fact, property values were increased as a result of the street project. councilmember Schmidt stated that it possibly could be argued that taxes should be increased to correspond with property value increases. I Ms. Trevorrow stated that many homeowners were having problems with their budgets and that this was the worst possible time for this project. She stated that she could see some problems with the street, but stated she would like to see the project delayed until better economic times. Mr. Richard Jarosak, 1515 23rd Ave. N.W., stated that he thought this was a problem in terms of chronology. Mr. Jarosak stated that the homeowners are being asked to absorb costs of the future development north of Stony Lake. Mr. Jarosak stated that he felt it would be better to wait until the property north of Stony Lake develops before the road is reconstructed and the storm sewer installed. Councilmember Benke noted that the problem with delaying the project is that there is no idea as to when that property will be developed, and the street currently is in need of repair. I Mrs. Sullivan, 1615 Silver Lake Road, stated that she was the property owner of the five acre~ north of Stony Lake and that she feels there will be no development on that property for at least five years.
