Re- Assessment (Backage Road /Commerce Drive) <br /> Attorney Glaser, gave a brief presentation of the history on the assessment for the <br /> improvement of the Backage Road /Commerce Drive. Mr. Glaser stated that the Sheehy <br /> property was originally special assessed for $379,000 in June of 2009. In November <br /> 2010, Sheehy as part of their appeal, claimed a "special benefit" in the amount of <br /> $164,000 which they paid the City in December, 2010. February, 2011, the District <br /> Court Decision in regards to the "Special Benefit" was not to exceed $241,000. In <br /> March, 2012, this was brought to the Court of Appeals Special Benefit which modified <br /> the assessment to $249,000. In February, 2013, the reassessment of the special benefit <br /> is to take place. Mr. Glaser stated that it was the Court's Opinion — Finding of Fact — <br /> that the special benefit to the Sheehy Property from the Backage Road Project was <br /> $249,000. This special benefit of an assessment is "measured by the increase in market <br /> value of the land owing to the improvement, market value after the public improvements <br /> minus market value before the public improvements and the difference equals Special <br /> Benefits." Mr. Glaser also stated that in the resolution adopting the special assessments <br /> in June of 2009 included the interest rate, defined the number of years for payback, <br /> explained how to make payments, date for first installment payment, created an <br /> Assessment Roll, defined each parcel which benefited from the improvements, identified <br />
