the area of the road and that Lakeview Rd. would need to have a storm sewer installed.

opposed to storm sewer.

James Dillman stated that there were 550 cars, per day, using Holy Name Dr. two years
ago.
Kathleen Hansmann asked what the increase in traffic would be if blacktopped.
Wilfred scherer stated that Hunter Dr. traffic had increased from 594 to 608 cars per
day, since it was paved.
Rayburn Anderson stated that he was in favor of th project but objected to having to pay
twice as much because he lived on Lakeview Rd.
Robert Raskob asked how the area from Co. Rd. 24 to Martin BEnnis;, on the west side of
Holy Name Dr., was classified.
Glenn Cook stated that Holy Name Church was given one unit but the footage on the west
side of Holy Name Dr. was added to the remaining footage and divided among the remaining
parcels.
Patricia Raskob, 2562 Holy Name Dr., asked where the water would run from the drain tile.
Glenn Cook stated it would run to the east, to the swamp, behind her house.
Patricia Raskob stated she did not like that plan and asked howimany lots were projected
for their acreage.
Glenn Cook stated that he had estimated 8 additional lots along Holy Name Dr. but had not
reviewed the soils maps to determine how many lots there might be in her acreage.
Mrs. Raskob asked how anyone could decide whether or not they were in favor of the project
if they did not know the dollar amount of their assessment.
Glenn Cook stated that the soils maps could be reviewed before an official Public Hear-
ing.
Kathleen Hansmann asked how much the cost of the project would increase if the road
needed to be dug out 10 feet.
Glenn Cook stated that soil borings had not been done but that fabric and rock placed in
bad areas would lessen the need for removal of soil.

Glenn Cook stated that all costs had been included in the estimate.
Marlene Kurchner, 2452 Holy Name Dr., asked how long it would take to complete the work
and whether or not the speed limit would be reduced.
Glenn Cook stated that he did not know if the speed limit could be reduced because the
State must approve a reduction, regardingthe timetable for the work, that would need to
be determined by Council.
Rayburn Anderson stated that he did not think the rate of speed would increase because
cars had traveled on black magic on Holy Name Dr., which is similar to paving.
Kathleen Hansmann stated that she knew of three people who had gotten speeding tickets
at 65mph on Hunter Dr and that no one could have traveled that speed before it was paved.
Thomas Walters,2500 Hol Name Dr., asked why the speed in a residential area could not
be less than another road.
Thomas Anderson stated that the State would need to approve a reduction.
Mr. Walters asked that "Slow" or "Children at Play" signs be installed.

In favor of improving Holy Name Dr.-- 19; Opposed--4
