Mayor Sinagra moved the Victoria assessment be reduced to $5.50 per foot. <br />Second Mr. John Gallagher. The motion on the floor was voted upon and <br />carried. <br /> <br />NICHOLSON (Detroit/Lake) <br /> <br />Mr. Mark Urban, 1337 Nicholson, presented the board with pictures taken <br />by him and a personal, 11 hour survey which indicated a little less than <br />3,000 vehicles using Nicholson during that period. (The City's traffic <br />count indicated 4,282 vehicles between Detroit & Clifton and 5,441 vehicles <br />between Clifton & Lake during their 12 hour period.) Mr. Urban's report <br />showed use of Nicholson by various suburban school buses, delivery <br />vehicles, City vehicles, fire trucks, and moving vans. <br /> <br />Mr. Glen Walker, 1250 Nicholson, oresented his statement that Nicholson <br />is busier than most residential streets with various delivery trucks; His <br />report continued that in 1973 Ohio Bell Telephone broke up the base which <br />had previously been in good condition. A water main break in 1980 under- <br />mined the pavement. Nicholson furnishes access to the east-west streets <br />of Donald, Emerson, Jackson, Harlan, and Merl. <br /> <br />Mrs. Dorothy Trend, 12999 Clifton, owner of a corner lot, was given the <br />formula for figuring such assessments by Mr. Hugh Gallagher. To her <br />benefit was the fact that Clifton had been resurfaced seven years ago <br />completely with county funds and no cost to the individual homeowner. Many <br />corner properties do not have this advantage. <br /> <br />Mrs. Max Bowen, 13002 Clifton, asked if the portion between Lake & Clifton <br />could be designated a state route so the State would pick up the tab and <br />could RTA absorb some of the cost. Mayor Sinagra assured her that RTA <br />would not contribute to the expense as they were not legally bound to do <br />so. The City will check the situation regarding the treelawn weeds and' <br />access to the bus stop. <br /> <br />Mr. Edward Graham, Ward III Councilman, suggested a reduction of 50% in <br />the assessment based on similarity to Cohassett and Belle Avenue by <br />Lakewood Park. Mayor Sinagra agreed that a substantial reduction was in <br />order. <br /> <br /> Mr. John Gallagher commented that parkin.q causes depressions, also. <br />Councilman Gallagher moved that the' assessment be reduced <br /> to $3.50 per foot. Second by Mayor Sinagra. Carried. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 8:28 p.m. <br /> <br />LAM/gvp <br /> <br />Respectful ly submitted, <br />Secretary <br /> <br /> <br />
