PUBLIC HEARING
To consider leving special assessments for Fireside Orchard Subdivision Roadway
Improvements.
Mayor Chiaverotti read a letter submitted to Alderman Engelhardt by Gerald and Mary
Louward, S82 W21002 Fireside Drive. The property owners object to the potential
assessment for completion of the roadway. The Mayor noted similar correspondence was
submitted by another property owner on Fireside Drive. The letter was distributed to the
Council.
The following individuals spoke regarding the proposed assessment:
John Zabkowicz, W210 S8357 Fireside Court
Situation is unfortunate. Could it have been prevented? Property owners already paid for the
road. City should pay for it to be completed. The cost is minimal when spread out among all
taxpayers.
Chris Manley, S82 W21010 Fireside Drive
Purchased an existing home and was informed money was set aside for completion of the
road. Residents should not have to pay again.

Louise Schmidt, W210 S8354 Fireside Court
Already pays a substantial amount of taxes. Should not have to pay for the road completion.
Joey Hawig, S82 W21005 Fireside Drive
Purchased an existing home. This was a processing error on the part of the City. A
performance bond should have been required.
Liz Kaminski, W210 S8321 Fireside Court.
What is the legal justification for the property owners to pay half the cost?
Jason Ferris, W210 S8349 Fireside Court
Completion of the road should have been done earlier as he was told it would be. He is
against the assessment.
Brian Shimetz, W210 S8346 Fireside Court
Let down by the City. Something should have been done to prevent the situation.
Diana Wilkerson, W210 S8293 Fireside Court
Consider how the residents feel about this, especially the young families.
The Mayor declared the hearing closed.
