IMPROVEMENT Mayor Woodburn opened the Public Hearing at 8:20 p.m. and asked the Clerk Administrator to verify the publication and mailing of the Notice of Hearing on the assessments for Edgewater Improvements. Morrison advised that due notice was published in the New Briahton Bulletin on August 19, and verified that the notice was mailed to affected property owners on August 13, 1987. Engineer Barry Peters explained the total cost of the improvement was $284,182.00 and would be lOO% assessed. Thomas Zappia, Attorney representing Gerald McGuire, stated that his client has no objections to the total assessmants, however, he requests Council consideration of the following proposals. Zappia advised his client proposes a more equitable allocation of assessments on the single family lots; he requests the assessments be spread equally on Lots I thru 6 and Lot 8. Zappia noted that Lot 7 was originally proposed to be split equally to Lots 6 and 8, if the flowage easement was not removed by U.S. Fish & Wildlife, however, he suggests this proposed allocation would be more equitable. Zappia stated that the assessments per lot would be $9,364.30 and would require an addendum to the Development Agreement for Edgewater Estates. Zappia explained that the assessments for the 37-unit apartment building on Lot 14 and the 29 townhomes, were calculated on a per unit basis. The owner is requesting Council consider allocating the assessments as follows: dividing the total assessment of $97,215.92 by 30 units (the apartment complex being one unit and the townhomes being 29 units) for a per units assessment cost of $6,573.86. Zappia advised the primary reason for the request relates to the financing for the apartment complex, however, he also noted that all the property is owned by McGuire and he is not opposing the total assessment figures. He further explained that the purpose of Chapter 429 is to insure fair and equitable distribution of assessments; based on effiCiency of service and difference in size of townhouse units versus apartment units it was his opinion this is a more equitable distribution. Zappia also explained that paragraph 5 C of the development agreement guaranteed payment of assessments and that McGuire would offer his personal assurance that there is more equity in the apartment complex than the total assessment figure as further guarantee. George Winiecki, 4471 Highway 10, questioned who had responsibility for replacing property stakes after construction and if the clean-up process is completed. He advised that he was assessed for one-third of the total assessment for this project. Barry Peters advised that there were two projects done in the area and he would have to check which contractor removed the stakes; he will advise Winiecki. Peters also explained that the final clean-up is not completed for the project. After determining there were no additional comments or questions, the public hearing was closed at 8:39 p.m. Attorney Robert Plunkett explained that Chapter 429 requires Council set, as best it can, the assessment allocations roughly approximate.to benefit of each property. It was Plunkett's opinion that the proposal to consider the apartments as one unit and the townhomes as 29 units would not be a roughly approximate equal benefit; he expressed concern of ability to sustain this proposed allocation of assessment in a court of law. Plunkett further stated that he had no concerns relative to the proposed allocation of assessments on the single family lots. Council question if the property owners of the townhouse units would have the right to appeal that the assessments are disproportionate if Zappia's proposal were approved. Plunkett advised that situation could arise; he advised a more ideal posture for the Village would be a rough comparison of size of parcel if such an appeal were raised and the apartment complex appears to be a larger parcel with greater use of roadway and more traffic. Minutes of the Regula~uncil Meeting, August 31, 19. Page 4 .., , EDGEWATER (Cont'd) Councilmember Hansen suggested allocating the assessments over seven parcels of land; the apartments being one parcel and the townhomes divided into 6 parcels. Hansen had no objections to the proposed allocation on the single family lots. Engineer Peters advised he calculated Hansen's proposed allocation per lot to . be $28,l73.72. There was discussion relative to responsibility for payments for assessments on the townhomes, length of payment period and when the first assessment was due. Sather commented that he has no objections to the proposal by Zappia for allocation of assessments, however, he would prefer the rearrangement be granted, if Council desires, with the conditions that the owner personally guarantee payment based on the equity frOm the apartment building and that the owner waive rights to object and change the allocation. ,Planner Miller reviewed the development agreement as it related to payment of assessments; he noted that the agreement is bound to all subsequent property owners. Engineer Peters suggested responsibility for payment could be covered in an addendum to the development agreement. Councilmember Peck commented that legal counsel was of the opinion the allocation would be more appropriately distributed over seven parcels; he preferred allocating the assessments in that manner. There was discussion relative to development impact on the townhouse parcels if the land were sold and assessed as Zappia proposed. . Attorney Zappia explained that the owner does not have a signed purchase agreement for the townhouse parcel at this time; conversation with the potential buyer made him aware that assessments would be forthcoming, however Zappia nor McGuire have discussed the allocation proposal with the buyer. After discussion with his client, Zappia advised Council that the owner was agreeable to allocate the assessment on a Seven lot basis, at $28,l73.72 per lot. Plunkett explained that an allocation by lots would be considered a more approximate distribution of assessments; he further noted that a new notice of hearing would have to be served. Clerk Administrator expressed concern that there would not be sufficient time to meet the County deadline for submitting the assessments if a new hearing were held; taking into consideration the 30 day appeal period. Hansen moved, seconded by Peck, that Council approve Resolution No. 87-4l, RESOLUTION ADOPTING AND CONFIRMING ASSESSMENTS FOR EDGEWATER IMPROVEMENTS, SS-W-P-ST-85-2, based on the single family lots 1 thru 6 and lot 8 being assessed at $9,364.30 per lot and the sections of land containing the townhomes and apartment complex be considered seven parcels, identified as Lots 10, ll, 12, l3 and 14, Block l, and Lots 1 and 2, Block 2, being assessed at $28,l73.72 per lot.

Reiling explained that the storm sewer was extended to Red Fox Road for Opus Corporation's convenience, Reiling did not feel he should ~ pay the storm sewer portion of the assessment; he reviewed conversations with a representative from Opus who advised Reiling would not be responsible for the storm sewer costs. Engineer Christoffersen advised that the storm sewer was constructed according to the drainage plan submitted by Opus for this project. Minutes Page 5 of the Regular ~uncil Meeting, August 31, . 1987 , NORTHWOODS (Cont'd) Reiling displayed a plat map on which he indicated the area he assumed the storm sewer would be constructed. . In discussion, Engineer Barry Peters advised that he was unaware of the storm sewer being proposed for the area Reiling indicated, however, he advised that the drainage would have been directed toward State Highway property and obtaining permission is time consuming, therefore Opus may have chosen this location as an alternate route. Councilmember Hansen suggested that Rice Creek Watershed may have suggested the storm sewer be constructed in the current location after their review of Opus's plan. Attorney Plunkett noted that such conversations between Reiling and Opus are a private matter; suggested Reiling could pursue this through civil action. Council discussed the fact that Reiling and Opus had signed the Development Agreement for the Northwoods project in which they waived the right to object to the assessments.
