ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — October 25, 20I0 6 <br />7. A. 2011 Pavement Management Program — Feasibility Study (continued) <br />a lic that multi-famil dwellings are assessed 60% of the full residential unit amount. The � <br />� Y Y <br />assessment is based on the increased value to the property and Option 2 does the best in assessing <br />the value increase fairly. Option 3 gives the same value of the improvements to a multi-family <br />property and this is not necessarily the case. A single-family home will benefit more for the <br />improvements. She stated she would support Option 2. <br />Conncilmember Grant stated he would agree with Option 2. <br />CounciImember McClung stated he also agrees that Option 2 is the most equitable way to <br />proceed and most closeiy follows the City's assessment poiicy. <br />Councilmember Holden pointed out that following the City's assessment policy would mean that <br />Option 3 is the most effective way to proceed. The assessment policy states everyone pays for <br />their share of the improvements and Option 3 divides these improvements equally among all the <br />properties receiving the benefits. <br />Councilmember Holmes stated the assessment policy references single-family homes only. A <br />multi-family property woutd not receive the same value increase from the improvements that a <br />single-family property would. <br />Councilmember Holden stated a multi-family dwelling would have an increased amount of � <br />traffic in an area and this would increase the wear and tear on a road versus an area that only had <br />single-family hornes. <br />Mayor Harpstead stated the Council would need to come to a consensus for this project and <br />revisit the City's assessment policy at a future time to establish a policy for multi-family <br />dwellings. <br />It was the consensus of the Council to follow Option 2 for the assessment of the multi- <br />family/townhome (R3) properties in the project area. <br />Public Works Director Maurer stated the final report would follow Option 2 for the assessment <br />of the multi-family properties. <br />PUBLIC INQUIRIES <br />Mayor Harpstead opened the Public Inquiries/Informational at 8:10 p.m. <br />Mayor Harpstead closed the Public Inquiries/Informational at 8:11 p.m. <br />�. n a• � �n� n n> > A----.,a;,.,. rw.,..+o,. �, con*:�,._ �in nz c„i,a_ � n.,o,.�.,.. <br />--a -r -- <br />� • f • f <br />C� <br />
