MAY- 6-83 THU 2:56 MAIER STEWART ASSOC. FAX NO, 7740838 p, 02/04 . . CONSULTING ENGINEERS Maier Stewart & Associates Inc. May 5, 1993 File: 520-039-58 Ms. Dorothy Person City Administrator City of Arden Hills 1430 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112 RE: ASSESSMENT HEARING 1993 PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE IMPROVEMENTS Dear Ms. Person: The assessment hearing for the 1993 Pavement Maintenance Improvements is scheduled for the . May 10, 1993, City Council meeting at City Hall. A revised assessment roll, based on $2.98 per assessable front foot, has been provided to City staff. Customarily, the City Council has not requested individual copies of this assessment roll, but you may wish to see if they want their own copy. If so, copies could be made from the roll you have. Each individual property owner has received a mailed notice stating their assessable front footage and proposed assessment. As we've discussed, approximately 20 calls have been received from homeowners of the 612 properties proposed to be assessed. The calls primarily question the method of calculating assessable front footage for odd-shaped lots, lots on cul-de-sacs or comer lots. The calculation methods are clearly defined in the City Assessment Manual adopted in November 1990. All footage calculations have been documented and will be available for individual discussion at the assessment hearing. We would expect, based on previous assessment hearings for similar projects, that several property owners will ask that the City Council reduce their assessments. The City Council has the ability to reduce any assessment and/or vary from the Assessment Manual for individual properties. Reduction in any property's assessment would not alter the assessment rate of $2.98 per foot or $1lI.78 per townhouse unit. Two residents on the corner of Dellview Avenue and Gramsie Road, Mr. Paul Crosby and Mr. Rodney Palmer, have called and correct! y identified that their properties were assessed within the last five years for similar improvements and, therefore, are entitled to an assessment reduction. Correspondence has been provided to these two property owners with reduced assessments. . After the closing of the assessment hearing it would be appropriate for the City Council to review and consider the attached resolution adopting the final assessment roll. , 1959 SLOAN PLACE.
