<br />scheduled for next week. Mr. Peterson explained how the City arrived at the <br />assessments figures. <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson stated that the total costs for Hunter's Crossing improvements are <br />$653,613. The developer has paid for half of the costs to extend services down <br />Centerville Road. The remaining half has been divided among individual <br />property owners who also benefited. <br /> <br />Kenneth Vanderbeek, 6892 Centerville Road, explained to Council numerous <br />problems he has endured during construction. He lost telephone and cable <br />services on four (4) occasions. At one point the telephone line was dropped onto <br />the power line creating a potentially dangerous situation if his wife or children <br />would have used the telephone. His tractor was damaged, requiring $150 in <br />repairs. The City also removed trees on his property without permission and <br />without an easement to do so. He mentioned to Council that he was aware <br />services were coming but disagrees with treating his lot as two (2) lots and <br />therefore assessing him for same. Mr. Vanderbeek explained due to the elevation <br />of the lot he believes the lot is non-buildable. Mr. Vanderbeek stated that it <br />would be cost prohibitive for him to make the property saleable, and he did not <br />intend on doing so and would not divide or split the property. <br /> <br />) <br /> <br />Larry W oiak, 6925 Centerville Road, stated he intends on contesting the <br />assessment believing that the cost is in excess of the increased property value the <br />services will bring. <br /> <br />Dale Greenwadt, 4697 - 316th Lane, Stacy, Minnesota, stated that the property he <br />owns on Centerville Road is rental property and his renters did not provide the <br />notice of assessments to him. He was unaware of the assessment in time to <br />submit his petition to contest the assessment. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber questioned Attorney Hoeft that due to Greenwadt's <br />circumstances, could Mr. Greenwadt still be allowed to file a petition against the <br />assessment. City Attorney Hoeft indicated Mr. Greenwadt would be allowed to <br />file a petition. <br /> <br />Council Member Sweeney asked whether the City had agreed to replace the trees. <br />Mr. Vanderbeek said they had. Council Member Sweeney then asked if the trees <br />were in the City right-of-way. Mr. Vanderbeek stated they were not. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned Mr. Peterson if it is standard <br />procedure to assess someone for two (2) stubs if the lot could potentially be <br />divided. Mr. Peterson confirmed. Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if <br />the stub could be removed if that was the wish of the property owner. Mr. <br />Peterson confirmed. <br /> <br />) <br /> <br />Page 2 of 12 <br />
