316 REGUJ 1AR MEETING IMPROVEMENT RESOLUTION NO. 3464 RESCINDED NOVEMBER 20, 1978 Action on Improvement Resolution No. 3464 for the construction of sanitary sewers on Riverside Drive and Riverside Place was tabled for a review of the remonstrance petition filed and to allow affected property owners to make their views known to the Board. The Bureau of Design and Administration submitted a report to the Board indicating that less than fifty per cent of the property owners are in favor of the proposal based on the remonstrance petition filed. The report noted that the residents would be required to absorb approximately one -third of the total cost of the system under this proposal and this is the second time the matter has been proposed by the Board and rejected by the property owners. It is the opinion of the Bureau of Design and Administration that sewers will be required in this area due to the high water table and density of development. It was recommended that this Board suggest to its successors that future City funds not be committed to this project or the lift station..required because the residents who remonstrated against the project were aware of the implications of their decision.
