AGENDA NO. 7.a.
ATTACHMENTS: Objection Letter Dated June 12, 2020 APPROVED BY: LJM
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Call and Continue the Assessment Hearing for
Autumn Path Extension Project, City Project 2019-07.
BACKGROUND
The Autumn Path Improvement Project, City Project 2019-07, would consist of construction of a
42-foot wide asphalt collector roadway with curb and gutter. Pedestrian facilities will include a trail
on the east side and sidewalk on the west side of the road. Storm pipe will be constructed to ponds
within the Bella Vista development. Raw and potable watermain will be installed along the road
along with some sanitary sewer.
On December 3, 2019, several of the property owners of the property proposed for assessment
attended the improvement hearing with concerns. Staff has sent a Petition and Waiver to the
property owners to execute if they would like to defer the assessed amount for 10 years, or until the
subdivision of the property, whichever occurs first.
On May 19, 2020, the Rosemount City Council awarded the contractor for this project.
Construction is anticipated to begin in July 2020.
The City received a letter dated June 12, 2020 on behalf of the owners of the property proposed for
assessment, which disputes the special benefit to their property. To obtain more information to
present to the concerned property owners, staff recommends the Council open, but continue the
assessment hearing to the September 15, 2020 meeting. At that time, the City’s consulting appraiser
will have completed an unrestricted special benefit analysis on the property that can be disclosed to
the property owners.
COSTS & FUNDING
The estimated total project cost is $1,963,172.90. This amount includes 5% for contingency and
25% for incidentals such as engineering, legal, financing and administrative costs. The cost by
improvement type is shown in the table below.
