ments which appear on the Preliminary Assessment Roll, and that the hearing was to form a basis

that he had personally viewed the assessment roll of each of the properties to be assessed;
and that in his opinion, each of the properties so assessed would be enhanced in value at
least to the extent of the proposed assessment.
Mayor Blackmon stated the procedure for holding the hearing would be to give each
property owner present an opportunity to question Mr. Lontos and Mr. Carr, and to state his
objection or approval to any of the proposed improvements or assessments relative to his
property. The following persons appeared:
Item 03-A, Bobby L. George & George Jackson, Lots 37 & 38, Block 4, West Side
Industrial District - Mr. Bobby L. George appeared and inquired if it would be feasible to
leave the entire 200 foot frontage of this property open as a driveway, and how this would
cffect his assessment. He stated there are no improvements on the property at present, but that
they plan to build and would like to have the driveway problem solved now. Mr. Lontos
explained that the ordinance al lows for a maximum of 35 foot driveways with hardship cases
to 45 ft.;that he would recommend that Mr. George have two 35 foot driveways placed close
together, or not have the driveways constructed at this time. He explained that the cost
would be the same amount assessed for driveways.
Items 4'6 and 09, Alford Refrigeration Warehouse, 260 McBride Lane - Mr. John
Morgan appeared representing the subject property and stated he did not oppose the improve-
ments, and that all of his questions had been answered.
Item 019, Gulf Iron Works, Lot 13-A, Block 1, Lantana Industrial Area - Mr. Arthur
James spoke on behalf of the subject property and stated they would like to have the pavement
moved back to within three feet of the property line the full length of their property, because
of the large trucks which have to back into the driveways. He stated he is aware that they will
be assessed for this additional pavement. Mr. Lontos explained that the plans show the pave-
ment moved to the west three feet rather than from the center of the right of way to accommodate
the backing in of large trucks. He explained that the street is little more than 20 feet wide at
present, and when it is widened to 40 feet, the problem will not be so severe. Mr. James was
directed to discuss the proposal with the Public Works Staff.
