In general, this law allows municipalities to <br />assess benefiting properties for all or a portion of the cost of public improvements. The maximum <br />amount which can be assessed is the lesser of the total project costs (divided uniformly over the <br />same classes of property) or the increase in property value afforded by the improvement to the <br />benefiting properties. <br />Road Irnorovernents <br />For this project, residential property assessments are proposed on a per parcel basis. <br />For commercial property, assessments have been calculated based on square footage of each <br />parcel. The square footage assessment amount is based on the cost estimate for Gateway Circle. <br />Then divide the total by the square footage in the cul-de-sac. Typically, the amount being assessed <br />in residential areas as a percentage of the project costs has been approximately 25%. Therefore, <br />applying that same percentage to the square foot cost, gives a value of $0.012/square foot. The <br />area to be assessed is shown on Figure 3 in the appendices. <br />Trail Improvements <br />Trail improvements will not be assessed and will be funded entirely out of the city's general fund <br />(road fund). <br />FUNDING SUMMARY <br />Road/Thin Overlay <br />Assessments <br />Funding Sources <br />Fund (General Levy) <br />Total <br />Residential Properties <br />$134,615 (35%* <br />$25,850 (15%- <br />$160,465 <br />approx.) <br />approx.) <br />Comm./Industrial Properties <br />$13,365(75%* <br />$4,450 (25%*approx.) <br />$17® 15 <br />approx.) <br />Trails <br />$81,42.0(1007.) <br />(0%) <br />$81,420 <br />Totals <br />.$229,400 <br />$30,300 <br />$259,700 <br />*Target values for typical projects. <br />City of Centerville Page 5 <br />2017 Thin Overlay Program 193803756 <br />
