One resident of Packard Avenue said that there are numerous frost boils
toward the South end of Packard and that would have to be dug out to do the
job right and he did not think $5,000.00 for shaping and grading would be
adequate. There was also a hill that should be cut down.
Another resident said he had done a traffic count and calculated that
70% of the traffic on Packard Avenue is thru traffic.
A vote was taken of the residents in attendance, one (1) vote per
assessable unit.
Six (6) voted in favor of the project
Nine (9) voted against the project.
Motion by Douglas Lindenfelser to turn the Packard Avenue bituminous
surfacing project down. Seconded by Floyd Roden, passed unanimously.
On Motion, the Hearing adjourned.
