I I. AlillEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 31, 1995 ~ j I Mr. Porter noted outlot A, a large portion of this outlot is pond and no development is there. He indicated if the Council is to compare this development to a townhouse development, there would I be more units and a higher density to share the cost than there is at Hunter's Park. Mr. Porter expressed concern that the residents of Hunter's Park are paying more than a typical I resident because of the cost attributed to the private roads of the Association. I Mr. Porter believed the Council would be passing on costs to residents of this development whieh are not normally passed on to citizens. He reiterated the request to consider the comer lots. I Mayor Probst invited further comments from the audience regarding the Public Hearing. Hearing no further comments Mayor Probst closed the Public Hearing at 7:55 p.m. I Councilmember Aplikowski asked how much area is private roadway. Mr. Stonehouse indicated six private roads. I Mayor Probst, referring to the comer lot issue, indicated he was not sure how to correctly apply the suggested formula, but felt it should be reviewed. Mr. Stonehouse indicated an odd shape lot .- formula could also be considered. Mayor Probst explained the developer chose to construct the private roadways and therefore the City was taken out of the equation. He noted the City is unable to recognize the expense of those private I roadways. I City Administrator Fritsinger indicated the item could be tabled briefly for discussion of these options by the City Attorney and City Engineer if Council felt it necessary. I City Attorney Filla noted the City by its polieies attempts to establish standards and part of that process is the judgement of the Council to review the standards. He noted it also seems fair to spread the cost over the 68 units. I Mayor Probst indicated even if the formula is taken into consideration, he was unsure as to how much it would affect the end result of the assessment. . Councilmember Keim commented each lot would need to be reconfigured. I City Attorney Filla indicated there is a model, where expenses of common areas are shared by the 68 units. He noted if a new standard is established, the end result may only be one or two dollars. I Mr. Stonehouse indicated if the comer lot scenario is used, the City may lose approximately 440 feet of assessable front footage or approximately $1,760 in assessments. Ie I
