Mr. Smith continued by stating that they are proposing to remove a few palm trees and 31 new palm trees will be replanted. He displayed a schematic of the project proposed. He explained that a 1963 agreement with the Scotch Investment Company obligates the abutting property owners to pay for sidewalk improvements "east of the west side of the east curb"; the Staff previously recommended that the owners be assessed 100% of the cost of 5 feet of the 7 -foot sidewalk; that based on this recommendation, the five items on the preliminary assessment roll have a total assessment value of $31,033.15; and that the low bid price of $91,936.05 was submitted by A.

Mr. Doegey called as his next witness, Mr. George N. Paraskevas.

He stated that the existing sidewalk is deteriorated and that joggers or pedestrians could easily trip and fall into the path of a vehicle. He stated that there are no pie -shaped pieces of property and that the only condition is that the palm trees that willbe removed be replaced at least to the same number.
