The Shelton City Commission
Tuesday approved plans for its
dust coating program this spring.

that anyone wanl:ing to l~ave their
street dust coatcd would have to
have a request and a deposit to
cover the cost in to his office by
the end of April. The work Will be
done in May.
The program this' year will use
an oil dust palative which will be
cheaper tha~t ill previous years.
Cost to the property owner will
be about 25 cent a front foot,
Byrne said.
Byrne also reminded property
owners of the city's guaranteed
rate for LID assessnlents of $4.50
a front foot in residential stredts
and streets in the arterial pro,
gram in a residential area and
$6.50 a front foot: for commercial
width streets. This includes curb
and gutter and a hard-surfaced
street but, does not include right-
0f-way or storni sewer lines.
The commission denied a re-
quest from Elsie Hanson for the
renewal of a temporary permit for
a trailer home on Olympic High-
way North• The temporary permit
had been grantcd a year ago. and,
the commissio~ felt that one yenr
,was enougl~ time to make other
