I , , .. I ~I~ MEMORANDUM rO\SlL mG E\G1\EERS I 1326 Energy Park Dr;'" To: Honorable Mayor and City Council St. Paul, MN 55108 From: Greg Stonehouse 612-644-4389 Subject: 1997 Street Assessments I 1.800-888-2923 Date: March 13, 1997 Fax: 612-644-9446 File: 520-080-58 I Attached to this memorandum are the preliminary assessment rolls for both the reconstruction and overlay portions of the 1997 Street Improvements project. In I addition, we have attached the plat maps showing various lots about which the Council might anticipate questions or concerns during the hearing. In an effort to address some I of those concerns in a proactive manner, we have provided the following information related to each specific lot of potential concern. I Based upon the bid for the project, the actual overlay assessment rate based upon unit CIViL ENGINEERING. prices is $4.97 per front foot. The proposed assessment rate from the public hearing, ENViROr--MENT A~ preliminary report, and assessment notification letters was $5.20 per front foot. ~NIC!PAL "l'i"t\iNG The assessment rate for the bituminous reclamation is $23.71 per front foot based upon JOLi)WASiE unit prices, compared to the estimate of $26.38 in the preliminary report. The I STRLGUR,:"L reconstruction assessment is substantially higher than previous years, estimated at $43.21 SL'\\/~YiN:J per front foot based upon unit prices. Without Snelling and Hamline Avenues included E..IFlIC in the project, this reconstruction rate would decrease to $38.89 per front foot. The I TRAr-..S?O\~ATlON increase in these rates is primarily attributable to reconstruction of short segments of roadway, with cul~de~sacs and/or assessable frontages on only the short side of these ELECTRiC,c.,l/MECHANICAL roadways. Additionally, many of the lots in the reconstruction areas receive reductions I ENGINEERI~iG' in assessable footage based upon the policy, thereby increasing the assessment per foot. !-'VAC POWER DI$-:RIBUTiON Reconstruction Issues I SCACA SYSTEM CO~TROLS The first two pages of plat maps show streets being reconstructed or reclaimed. Lots I presented in yellow indicate that the corner lot calculation was applied, in accordance with the assessment policy. Lots presented in green indicate an increase in assessable footage over the actual footage as a result of either the lot's odd shape or depth, again I in accordance with the assessment policy. The two lots shown in green and yellow are those that receive a combination of improvements on either side of the lot. Finally, those shown with orange highligl)ts are lots which may raise concern simply because of high I assessments to the properties. OFFICES IN: fl';,INNEAPOllS PRIOR LAKE ST.
