<br />- -------- <br /> I <br />ARDEN l;!Jl:LS CITY COUNCIL -JULY 31, 1995 4 .- <br />Councilmember Aplikowski indicated she felt the outlots and open space were a benefit to the I <br />residents and she would not be inclined to change the standard for the approximately $1,600 in I <br />assessments. <br />Mr. Getty commented there are two cul-de-sacs on Walden Place and Hunters Court which are I <br />public streets where the only access is by way of Benton Way. He pointed out those residents also <br />benefit from the open space of the outlots. <br />Mr. Tom Harkness, 1123 Benton Way, indicated the value of $1,600 today may be a very I <br />different than a similar amount in the future based on inflation. He expressed concern there would <br />be a precedent established that would be used in the future. I <br />Mr. Pistotnik reiterated the precedent established is very important, not just the money saved by the <br />residents at this point. - <br />Councilmember Aplikowski asked if Walden Place and Hunters Court were part of the Association. <br />Mr. Stonehouse indicated no, and they were assessed at $4 per linear foot. I <br />Mr. Stonehouse indicated after checking the footage it appears there would be 480 feet plus or minus -I <br />a few feet that would be removed from the assessment. The assessment roll would be reduced by <br />$1,920 or $28.24 per unit. <br />Mayor Probst felt the comer lot issue was valid, but did not have the information available regarding I <br />the formula to re-evaluate the assessment. <br />Councilmember Aplikowski indicated she was not ready to make a decision with the information I <br />available. She asked if more information could be obtained and presented at the next Council <br />meeting. I <br />Mayor Probst indicated the issue would be to establish how the formula should change. He indicated <br />once the Council decides on the way in which this development is assessed, this formula will also I <br />be used in the future, therefore he felt the Council should approach this issue with caution. <br />Mayor Probst did agree with the fact that this development is unique and the Council needs to be I <br />confident with the standard or formula chosen to apply to this development. <br />Councilmember Keim felt the correct formula has already been chosen, and the development is not I <br />going to change. <br />Mayor Probst asked if the development is built out completely. Mr. Fritsinger indicated he would I <br />need to review the Planned Unit Development, typically there is no development on areas designated -I <br />as outlots. <br /> I <br />
