, I . ~til-:J- CONSULTING ENGINEERS Maier Stewart & Associates Inc. May 19, 1993 File: 520-039-58 Ms. Dorothy Person City Administrator City of Arden Hills 1450 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, MN 55 I 12 RE: ADDmON OF 3945 ROLLING HILLS ROAD TO 1993 OVERLAY ASSESSMENT ROLL PIN # 28-30-23-24-0025 Dear Ms. Person: . As you know, just prior to the Assessment Hearing on May 10, 1993, it was brought to City staff's attention that the properly at 3945 Ro1li:ng Hills Road was inadvertently missed on the assessment roll. This property, owned by Mr. Jim Hanton, was subdivided from an existing lot, was closed on in May 1992, and the house was closed on in January 1993. A sketch of the properly subdivision showing the new Tract B is attached. Because of the recent timing of this transaction, it was missed in the assessment roll. Based on the dimensions of the property and using the City's Assessment Manual relating to odd- shaped lots, the adjusted front footage for Tract B is 95.00 feet and results in an assessment of $283.10. As a comparison, the adjusted front footage for Tract A was 100.00 feet. We have spoken with Mr. Hanton by phone regarding this situation. Mr. Hanton indicated that he understands that his property was missed and that he is wi1li:ng to pay "his fair share". He had seen the various articles in the Focus Newspaper, and was waiting to receive his mailed notice. Mr. Hanton did not feel that an on-site meeting was necessary, but requested that the calculation of his adjusted front footage be provided for his review. This information was provided to him via fax, Mr. Hanton questioned the City's method for calculating his frontage, but is familiar with municipal assessment methods being necessary for odd-shaped and comer lots. . 1959 SLOAN PLACE, SUITE 200, ST, PAUL, MINNESOTA 55117 612-n4-6021 9600 SHELARD PARKWAY, SUITE 102, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55441 512-546-0432 .
