On October 8, 1969, Community Facilities Contract No. 6373 was approved by
the City Council with the Immanuel Missionary Church for the development of
Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Sheraton Subdivision, IR No. 1650. Sheraton Drive
is a border street to the development and was to be improved on the assess-
ment basis. However, the developer did not ak7n 50 percent of the adjacent
property until recently and subsequently signed a paving petition which was
received in the Assessment Paving Office on January 10, 1978.
On October 18, 1977, the staff contacted the Westex Land Company, Inc. , owners
of the remaining 50 percent of the adjacent property, advising them of a
probable paving petition, their estimated assessment and requested their
feelings regarding the street improvements. No answer has been received to
date.
On January 24, 1978, the City Council authorized the Public Works Depart-
ment to design and advertise the project for bids. (M&C G-3699)
