<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Arden Hills Council <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />May 10, 1993 <br /> <br />Person added that a petition, signed by many residents on <br />Briarknoll Drive, Briarknoll Circle. and Dawn Circle had <br />also been received requesting that the improvement include <br />asphalt "milling" of approximately three feet along the curb <br />and at end joints to allow the asphalt to blend evenly with <br />the curb. She added that the petition indicates the signers <br />would be willing to pay the additional cost for such <br />milling. <br /> <br />Engineer Maurer summarized the 1993 Pavement Maintenance <br />Improvement as follows: 1) Bids were taken on April 6 for <br />this bi.tuminous overlay and sealcoaUng improvement, 2) The <br />lowest bidder was Schifsky and Son, 3) The total project <br />cost is now anticipated to be $257.568.20. 4) Approximately <br />one-half of that total project cost is to be the City's <br />share for the project, 5) The remaining share (approximately <br />$120,690) is to be assessed to benefiting property owners. <br /> <br />Maurer stated that the assessment rate for this project is <br />expected to be $2.98 per assessable front footage and $63.78 <br />for townhouse units. He added that the adjusted front <br />footage is calculated per the City's assessment poI icy <br />(adopted 11/90). He explained the method of calculating <br />assessments for corner lots and irregularly-shaped lots per <br />the assessment policy, and gave examples to illustrate the <br />method of calculation. <br /> <br />Maurer stated that if an individual's assessment is less <br />than $500, the assessment can be spread over a three year <br />period (with interest); if an individual's assessment is <br />more than $500, the assessment can be spread over a five <br />year period (with interest). He added that if an individual <br />wishes to pay the entire assessment within 30 days of the <br />assessment hearing, there will be no interest added. <br /> <br />Maurer stated that three primary issues have arisen with <br />regard to assessments; the first issue relates to confusion <br />as to lots which received notice of the assessment hearing <br />but are not actually included in the assessment roll. He <br />explained that it is customary to notify all property owners <br />who may be subject to assessment, and oftentimes some of <br />those property owners are not actually assessed. He noted <br />that four lots received notice of the assessment hearing, <br />but are not to be assessed. <br />
