The property is not platted and has been used primarily as Mr.Penhallurick's homestead.They did not feel that this project was indicated at this time,as the primary reason for the project in the first place was to connect the arterial with Patton Blvd. It was explained to Mr.Kenison that at the time of the announcement of the closure of Larson Air Force Base that city officials met with the State Highway Department and it was decided that the additional traffic from the process ing plants,etc.,would still warrant the project being carried through.It was stated that the improvement of Stratford Road had been in the six year street plan for con struction at an earlier date than this,but that it had been held off to coincide with the State's plan because of the savings represented in doing it all at one time. A letter from Mr.Maurice Pearson was read stating that he wished to go on record as protesting the amount of the assessment.Mr.Pearson was also present and he concurred with Mr.Kenison,Mr.Penhallurick and Mr.Lett in that he did not feel that the project was indicated at this time.
