Attorney Bill Sherry representing Leroy and Judy Gunhus submitted a new letter of objection,noting the decreased amount of the assessment. Sherry maintained that no benefit of value was obtained because an access,which was vital to truck movement on the property, was closed. The Gunhus's business, Evergreen Gardens, Inc., depended on the access onto Chippendale Avenue for exiting the property. The driveway had been in use for 13 years. Councilmember Edwards asked about safety and staff commented that the access that was closed was very close to the intersection and interfered with the turn lane. Attorney Reid Hansen representing Harold Wachter asked staff and Council to reconsider the assessment amount due to the holding pond on Wachter's property. Wachter should be considered a residential lot rather than acreage. The assessment was originally $34,000 and was reduced to $6,940 which they feel should be lowered to approximately$2,306.
