Bob Richards, 855 West Oxford Avenue, appeared before the Council and stated that he owns an apartment on West Oxford Avenue.

January 30, 1978 Page 11 Director Waggoner replied that the City would pick up costs over thirty-six feet. Mr. Smith asked why the property owner on the corner has to pay for the materials. Mr. Smith stated that if the street was pro-rated why couldn't the gutter part be pro-rated also. Director Waggoner stated that the City has to assess the adjacent owner for any concrete work and City Attorney Berardini agreed with Director Waggoner that is a fair assess- ment. Mayor Pro Tem Mann assured Mr. Smith that the City staff would report back to him with an explanation. In answer to Mrs. Smith's question, Director Waggoner stated that the load limit on a street was 18,000 pounds per axle according to the Model Traffic Code and he would mention the problem to the police. Mr. Wentzel, corner of Oxford and South Huron, appeared before the Council and stated that he uses Oxford very little and paving this area would be of no advantage to him. Sam McGown, 805 West Oxford, appeared before the Council and stated that the assessment was too expensive for people on fixed income like himself. Mr. McGown stated that the street could use improvements but suggested that the Council wait and do it later.

Maurice Jones, 5020 South Washington, appeared before the Council and stated he opposed the South Clarkson Street construction through DRCOG. Mr. Jones suggested that the Council chose other means of funding the construction because of the length of time it would take DRCOG to coD1Dence action on this project.
