CITY OF CENTERVILLE - 2013 STREET AND UTILITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT <br /> Assessments <br /> Special assessment law requires that assessments not exceed the benefit afforded to <br /> adjoining properties by the project improvements. One way of estimating this benefit is <br /> to have a qualified real estate appraiser examine a number of properties throughout the <br /> project area and give an opinion of the special benefit the project would produce. <br /> If bonding for the project, a minimum of 20% of the project costs must be specially <br /> assessed. <br /> It is our understanding that the City will or has hired an appraiser and is proposing <br /> assessments as follows: <br /> Full Reconstruction $3,500 - $4,200 /lot (assumes 90' lot) <br /> Estimated assessments $130,000 - $160,000 <br /> Full Bituminous Rem. & Replacement $2,000 - $2,600 /lot (assumes 90' lot) <br /> Estimated Assessments $116,000- $150,000 <br /> Per city policy and practice, an assessment rate will be calculated on a per foot basis, <br /> based on the numbers above. Then, the assessments will be figured on a front -foot <br /> basis for each individual lot. For side yards, 20% of the footage will be assessed in <br /> addition to the front yard footage. <br /> The city is proposing to assess street improvements only. Sewer and water work will be <br /> paid through the respective enterprise funds. The city has adopted a fee schedule for <br /> water hook -ups, with separate charges for those who have been assessed and those <br /> who have not. <br /> City of Centerville Project No: 193801520 <br /> 2013 Street and Utility Improvement Project Ji Stantec <br /> Page 16 <br />
