RE: INTENT HEARING TO CONSIDER CREATING LOCAL IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT#1995-2 - DELWOOD AVENUE
A public hearing was conducted on April 24, 1996, at 10:00 a.m., with the following present:
Commissioner Barbara J. Kirkmeyer, Chair
Commissioner George E. Baxter, Pro-Tern
Commissioner Dale K. Hall
Commissioner Constance L. Harbert
Commissioner W. H. Webster
Also present:
Acting Clerk to the Board, Shelly Miller
Assistant County Attorney, Lee Morrison
Public Works Department representative, Drew Scheltinga
The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that a public hearing was conducted to consider the creation of a local improvement
district on Delwood Avenue within Lindale Subdivision. Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney,
made this a matter of record and noted informal notice was mailed to all property owners and
publication will follow if the Board declares the intent to create said district. He also stated, in
compliance with Amendment One, this issue was approved on the ballot for the election in
November 1995. Drew Scheltinga, Engineer for the Public Works Department, stated 17 of 17 lots,
or 100 percent, petitioned in favor of the district. Using overhead displays marked as Exhibit E,
Mr. Scheltinga presented a summary of the proposal indicating Delwood Avenue between East
18th Street and U. S. Highway 34 in Lindale Subdivision is to be improved with 2 inches of asphalt
pavement, 54-foot wide; and 4 inches of aggregate base course, but no curb and gutter since it
was not desired by the district. He said there are severe flooding problems in the area, and he has
clarified for the owners at the culdesac where the water usually stands that reshaping to drain
toward the ditch on Highway 34 will improve the situation, but the problem will not be eliminated.
Mr. Scheltinga stated the total cost estimate is $33,320.00, with assessments of$1,960.00 per lot,
and he reviewed the table of estimated payments over ten years at 6.25-percent interest. He
clarified one letter supporting the district, Exhibit D, was received. Chair Kirkmeyer noted 15 voted
in favor of the district and one voted against. Responding to a question from Commissioner
Webster, Mr. Scheltinga stated the drainage problem is physically impossible to eliminate, but it
can be mitigated. Jim Hampton, property owner, voiced concern about already high speeds
increasing on 18th Street and the safety of the children. Mr. Scheltinga clarified the County does
not normally install such signs and questioned whether driving habits will actually change.
Commissioner Harbert suggested Mr. Hampton contact the Board after the streets are paved if
there are substantial changes. Chair Kirkmeyer noted for the record the speed limit on East 18th
Street is 30 mph as indicated by the audience. Mr. Scheltinga requested the Board authorize staff
to proceed with the bidding process along with Roth Subdivision to keep costs lower.
Commissioner Hall moved to declare the Board's intent to create the district, direct staff to prepare
construction plans and cost estimates, authorize the bidding process simultaneously, and set the
creation hearing for June 5, 1996, at 10:00 a.m., as set forth in the draft resolution. Commissioner
Baxter seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
