ing services in connection with the Rosewood- Birchwood Special Assessment -
ment project. The Building Commissioner, Mr. Robert Bowen,'explained
that the firm had prepared plans for complete improvements, but only
sewer and water mains had been installed. He suggested that the Board
give consideration to paying the firm for time and materials expended
in the preparation of plans for those parts of the improvements which
were not constructed. Decision was made to wait until another bill is
received.
Discussion was had on the construction of sidewalks recommended
by the Safety Committee of the PTA of Wilmot School, and the advisability
of arranging a meeting with property owners prior to a public hearing.
The attorney was directed to prepare the necessary resolution to start
the special-assessment proceedings for the sidewalks.
A lengthy discussion was.had on the cost estimated for partial
improvements in Hovland Subdivision. It was the consensus that only
north -south streets be improved with water, sanitary sewer, gravel
base and blacktop for street paving. The problem of, storm water drain-
age will be studied, since the natural drainage of the area is from west
to east. Revised estimates of cost will be prepared and the attorney
was requested to prepare the resolution for a public hearing.
There being no further business to come before the Board of
Local Improvements, the meeting was adjourned.
