<br /> -- <br /> .... ~I <br /> Assessment Appeal, Gene Schmidt, 1628 McCracken Lane . <br /> Page 2 -. <br /> July 10, 1996 <br /> At any given location, the amount of work required to improve a street adjacent to a property will I <br /> be different. The existing policy does not base the assessment on the level of improvements <br /> being done, but the benefit received from the improvements. . <br /> The City does not install edge drains on every street or in front of every house. A similar <br /> comparison to be considered is that the City does not put a catch basin in front of every home, . <br /> but every home on that street benefits from the catch basin being located somewhere on the <br /> street. In this case, the Council should consider whether the benefit being received by Mr. <br /> Schmidt is any different than the benefit received by any of the other property owners on . <br /> McCracken Lane. Staff and the Assessment Policy would support the position that the benefit <br /> recei ved is the same and as a result the assessment should not be reduced. <br /> Recommendation . <br /> Staff recommends to the City Council that based on the current assessment manual (policy), the . <br /> appeal by Mr. Schmidt be denied because the property was properly assessed as required by the <br /> existing policy. <br /> .. <br /> . <br /> . <br /> . <br /> . <br /> I <br /> . <br /> . <br /> -. <br /> I <br />
