<br />MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: That would be taking about $IO,28l.21 <br /> <br />off. <br /> <br />MR. POPOVICH: So $13,l93.74, you subtracted $lO,281.21, <br />that comes to $2,912.53. From $13,000 down to $2900. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: Any further comments? <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN MULCAHY: The proposal we're discussing now - <br />we're taking off from the rear - or substandard - assessment, <br />all of the water and all of the sewer and all of the road <br />that has been assessed there. That's what's been subtracted. <br /> <br />MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: That's right. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN MULCAHY: And the services for sewer and water. <br /> <br />MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: That's right. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN MULCAHY: Leaving only half a unit, the theory <br />being that there's just one lot there and just side exposure <br />or frontage, so that only half the road is appropriate, the <br />problem being that the rest of that assessment has to be <br />picked up somewhere. Mr. Popovich, did you say we could <br />adjust the assessments on the other lots? <br /> <br />MR. POPOVICH: We have a total assessment of $452,000. <br />We're really talking about $lO,28l. We couldn't go back tonight <br />and spread that $lO,OOO on the rest, because they're all <br />entitled to notice. You could spread it at a later date, as <br />to whether you want to do it with $lO,OOO, but the question <br />is - out of a project of $452,000, whether you could absorb <br />$lO,OOO over the life of this because of the 10% carrying <br />charge and what have you - if you wanted to do that. The <br />same principle applies here as we talked about earlier. It's <br />(inaudible) it's easier to pick up from (inaudible) but if it <br />becomes major, then it creates a bigger problem and you have <br />precedent involved. The big question is - did it receive a <br />benefit or didn't it? Is this a buildable lot or isn't it? <br />If you're satisfied in your own mind that it's not and it <br />did not receive a benefit, then we have no right to assess <br />them anyhow. You have to come to the conclusion that it has <br />received a benefit to the extent of the proposal. <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: Could we ask the Council - so we can go <br />forward - does anybody think that there is a benefit - a full <br />benefit - to the Branch's lot? Does anybody think that? <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN HICKS: I don't think so. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN MULCAHY: I don't think so. <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: Let's consider right now that we're not <br />considering that a divisible lot. Any further questions or <br />comments from the Council? <br /> <br />-11- <br />
