<br />, , <br /> <br />I. <br /> <br />We believe that in the City's Assessment Policy the Assessment Units definition <br />on page 11 section 4 clearly identifies our lot as a "shallow lot". It states, "For <br />rectangular lots under 130 reet in depth or irregular lots averaging less than 130 <br />feet in deDth. the front footage is determined by the actual lot area divided by 130 <br />feet". Since the north boundary of the lot, which has the greatest depth, is only <br />1 00.35 ft, our lot clearly meets the criteria of averaging less than 130 feet in <br />depth. <br /> <br />Using the FRONfAGE FOOT CALCULATION EXAMPLE in the City's <br />Assessment Policy for Shallow Lots the assessment for 1226 Ingerson Rd should <br />be the following: <br /> <br />SWALLOW LOT FOOTAGE CALCULATIONS <br /> <br />Adjusted Front Footage ~ (Lot's Total Square Footage) 1130 ft. <br /> <br />1226 Ingerson Rd Calculation <br /> <br />Adjusted Front Footage = (Lots Total Square Footage)! 130 ft <br />Area of Lot = 9,697 sq ft / <br />Adjusted Front Footage = (9,697 sq ft)! 130 ft = 74.59 ft V <br /> <br />(~ <br /> <br />Footage x Rate = Assessment amount <br />74.59 ft x $51 = $3,804.09 <br /> <br />We believe the March 7th 2003 footage calculation is a mistake and request that <br />the council change the assessment. <br /> <br />Also of concern is an omission in the City's Assessment Policy to guide the <br />calculation for "double footage" and "corner lots" when the rates for the two <br />streets are different. In our case Ingerson Rd. has a $51/ft and Ingerson Ct has a <br />$47/ft rate. We believe a reasonable policy would be to average the rates ($49) for <br />the lot's assessment: 74.59 x $49 = $3,654.91. <br /> <br />Si)~~oJoS ])J~ L?..J-JJ.2-?"O-S <br />David Dudycha Dilte Dorothy V er Date <br /> <br />tt <br />
