hi? 1; :i 4.11t
On June 7 staff presented to you a proposal for the assessment policy
for Project #181 which extends a sanitary sewer line from the lift
station on the Baptist. Church property east to Shannon Parkway.
At that presentation discussion centered around an assessment approach,
for this project, that would be more directly related to a -unit value
of those properties receiving versus some method using strictly a front
footage cost and also recognizing what immediate benefit the property
owners would be receiving.
Based upon that direction given, staff has developed a revised approach
to this assessment; and it is as follows:
SANITARY SEWER PROJECT #181
Assessment Policv Consideration
1. 85 ft. is present minimum single family lot width in city.
Utilize 85' as a unit standard for lot width on this project.
2. This project is estimated to cost $37.00 per linear foot to
construct.
This would mean a cost of $18.50 per front foot.
3. Using the "standard" lot width to determine assessable cost, each
lot of record would create an assessment of 85' x $18.50 =
$1572.50.

5. A cost adjustment factor, using engineering construction cost
index would be applied to the 1988 unit price of $1572.50.
6. Lots made available in the future by subdivision, hooking up to
this line, would be the adjusted unit price in the year hooking
up.
7. Estimated price city will pay for sewer easements is as follows:
Owner Estimated Easement Proposed Assessment
Allen $1620 $1572.50
Anderson 1620 1572.50
Hawkins 2000 3145.00
Strese 3360 3145.00
The easement payment is only an estimate and is based upon what
these same property owners have been offered for easements for the
Hawkins Pond Project Easements. The final easement payments may
be higher or lower depending upon what the courts will decide.
The city's offer was based upon our appraisal.
This information was presented to property owners in a meeting on
Thursday, June 30, 1988 at City Hall which Rich Hefti and I attended.
John Hawkins, Mr. and Mrs. Strese and Mrs. Allen were in attendance.
I believe the meeting was a good give and take session and though there
was not total agreement as to the worthiness of the project or the
estimated easement values, I believe there was some satisfaction as to
the benefit/cost of the sanitary sewer line being constructed and it
was a good opportunity for the property owners to discuss this
information in a more casual setting.
If this method of assessing for this project is acceptable staff would
ask that you give us consensus on this. Also, the next step on this
project is to order bids to be received. Since it is part of the
overall construction in that area which includes the Hawkins Pond
Project we will have this item on the July 19th meeting to receive your
approval to receive bids.
