~ I' .AI I. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM I DATE: July 10, 1996 I TO: Mayor and City Council Brian Fritsinger, City Administrato~ FROM: I SUBJECT: Assessment Appeal, Gene Schmidt, 1628 McCracken Lane I Request I The City Council received a request from Mr. Gene Schmidt, 1628 McCracken Lane, for reconsideration of his assessment. At the July 8, 1996 Council Meeting the City Council extended the appeal date and scheduled additional discussions on this request for the I July 15, 1996 Special Council Meeting. Background I Mr. Schmidt originally appealed his assessment of $2,232.39 prior to the June 10, 1996 City Council Meeting. The basis for this appeal was based on the owner's belief the street should .. have been overlaid in 1991 and the assessment was too high. The City Council denied the appeal to this assessment based on the determination that the property was properly assessed. I At the July 8, 1996 meeting, Mr. Schmidt asked for additional consideration on his appeal based on the issues identified above and the fact that the street adjacent to his property did not receive additional curb or edge drain work. All of the remaining properties on McCracken Lane received I either curb or drainage improvements adjacent to them. Appeal Deadline I The Council extended the appeal deadline to July 17, 1996. Corner Lot Assessment I The property received an assessment based on the formula used for comer lots. This formula has been applied consistently to all comer lots since the adoption of the current policy in 1990. The current policy does not break down the total amount of the assessments on a per street basis. I Each property owner is assessed a portion of the total project cost for all of the projects proposed during that year based on the amount of front footage a property may have. The rates established I are broken down based on the type of work being done adjacent to someone's home; i.e., overlay, cold in-place recycling, or reconstruction. I ~ I
