Odell of Tarpon Drive and John F. Bartosh of Sand Dollar Drive. While the paving of the three streets was paid for upfront by the town, property owners will be assessed 60 percent of the actual cost of the work. The assessment charged each lot owner will be based on frontage abutting the street. Property owners along Dolphin Drive will be assessed about $3.95 per front foot, while those along Tarpon Drive will have to pay approximately $3.72 per foot.
