Special <br />assessments on single family residential lots which are capable of further subdivision <br />can be addressed in a number of ways: <br /> <br />A. Pursuant to Minn. Stat. ~429.061, Subd. 2, the City could levy <br />special assessments for current and possible future lots at the same <br />time. If current dwelling units need to be moved to accommodate the <br />future subdivision, current property owners would argue, perhaps <br />successfully, that they will not realize special benefits from the <br />additional unit assessments until the future subdivision occurs. <br /> <br />B. Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 9429.061, Subd. 2, the City could assess one <br />unit now and adopt a deferred assessment roll for future lots. A future <br />subdivision of the property would trigger the payment of the deferred <br />assessments. However, all deferred assessments must be paid within <br />thirty (30) years of the date of adoption of the deferred assessment <br />roll even if the subdivision has not occurred within that time. <br /> <br />.ALSO ADMITTED IN WISCONSIN <br />
