. CONSULTING ENGINEERS Maier Stewart & Associates Inc. MEMO TO: ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL FROM: MARK J. GRAHAM piG- RE: KEITHSON AREA POND STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS FILE NO: 520-029-20 DATE: JUNE 3, 1992 The assessment hearing for the Keithson Area Pond Storm Sewer Improvements is scheduled for the June 8, 1992 City Council meeting. As directed, a preliminary assessment roll has been prepared with a proposed assessment of $1500 per lot. This $1500 amount has been chosen based on the advice of the City's real estate appraiser. A copy of the preliminary assessment roll, dated May 18, 1992, is attached. The current status of this project is that the low bidder, Machtemes Construction, Inc. has been . awarded the project contingent on acquiring the right to enter Mr. George Reiling's property. City Attorney Filla has started condemnation proceedings through Ramsey County District Court to obtain this easement. The City will have access to the private property once the amount of the City's appraisal is provided to Mr. Reiling. An easement has also been obtained, at no cost, from the property owner south of the pond, Mr. George Crimmins, to construct the improvements. The Contractor would be able to begin as soon as the praper paperwork is completed and a preconstruction conference could be held. Following the close of the assessment hearing, it would be appropriate for the City Council to adopt a final assessment rol1. A resolution is attached for your review and consideration. The resolution has been prepared at an interest rate of 8.00% and a pay-back period of five years. As of this writing, the City has not received any formal written assessment appeals from property owners. Individuals may appeal this project by presenting a signed, written objection to the Mayor at the hearing. An individual standing up at the public hearing indicating their objection to this project does not constitute as assessment appeal. Following the submission of the signed, written objection, the property also has to serve Notice of Appeal upon the Mayor or City Administrator within 30 days after the adoption of the assessment roll and must file this notice with the District Court within 10 days after serving the Mayor or City Administrator. Both myself and City Attorney Filla will be in attendance at the June 8, 1992 City Council meeting. Please contact me if you have any questions. MJG/ks attch. . 029-0301.JUN 1959 SLOAN PLACE.
