I I I' I I I I I I I, I I I I I I I Ie I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 10. 1996 9 Mayor Probst inquired regarding the reduction in assessment if the sewer easement area is deducted from the Herbst property and the assessment calculated on the odd-shaped method. Mr. Stonehouse advised the assessment would be reduced by 28% to 30%. Mayor Probst stated he would support this revision since the easement reduces the buildable or developable area of that lot. Councilmember Malone reviewed the reductions as proposed by staff and asked if the Herbst property assessment would be calculated on square footage with a 100 foot depth. Mr. Stonehouse used an overhead to diagram the alignment of the utility right-of-way and stated it could be calculated as an odd-shaped lot. Councilmember Malone concurred with the suggestion to calculate the assessment without the easement square footage included. Mr. Filla advised the Assessment Policy indicates the City may reserve the right to remove land if located within an easement and determined it cannot be developed in the future. MOTION: Malone moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to deny the appeal of Resolution No. 96-36 of two parcels set aside at last meeting; move to accept the appeal of Virginia Roach, 1628 Oak Avenue, and adjust the foot footage to 148.75; and deny the appeal of James D. Johnson, 1535 Lake Johanna Boulevard, because benefit is properly assessed. The motion carried unanimously 4-0. MOTION: Malone moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to accept the appeal of Resolution No. 96-34 by Ronald Christianson, 1438 Arden Oaks Court, to Pascal Avenue and adjust front footage to 38.5 feet; with Ronald Christianson, 1438 Arden Oaks Court, to adjust for footage on Arden Oaks resurfacing to 47.44 feet; with Eugene D. Schmidt, 1628 Chatham Avenue, and David Barnier, 1624 Chatham A venue, to deny the appeal of assessments to those two properties since they are properly assessed; with Steven and Carol Herbst, 3799 McCracken Lane, to accept their appeal and direct the City Engineer to recalculate the assessment and deduct the square footage of the triangular section between the sewer easement and lot lines and adjust the assessment accordingly; and with Rhonda Behr, 1401 County Road E, to deny her appeal and find that property is properly assessed at 103.5 feet. The motion carried unanimously 4-0.
