" ,. K-G Development, Inc. 8070 - 360th Street North Branch, MN 55056 (612) 784-1200 November 11, 1996 Via Courier' City Clerk City of Centerville 1880 Main Street Centerville, MN 55038 RE: Clearwater Meadows Assessments Dear City Clerk: Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 429, K-G Development, Inc. ("K-G") hereby objects to the proposed assessment on the following grounds: 1. Ineffective Notice: The proposed assessment provided inadequate notice for the following reasons: a. Owner of the Properties is Not Listed: The "benefitted" properties are owned by K-G and is located at the address listed above. The Notice of Assessment sent by U.S. Mail identified the wrong entity at the incorrect address. Klosner-Goertz Homes, Inc. is neither the owner of the properties nor responsible for the assessments. b. The Notice Sent is Incomplete: The written notice did not satisfy the disclosure requirements of Minn. Stat. 429.061, subd. 1. 2. City HaU Watermain: The proposed assessment improperly charges K-G for the entire cost of the City Hall watermain when other property owners will benefit from the improvement. The assessment should be adjusted to reflect the proportional benefit which will be realized by others. In particular, the Eagle Pass subdivision will contain over 140 units which will benefit from this improvement and are not being assessed. 3. Period of Assessment: The proposed assessment requires payment over five years while the Development Contract Clearwater Meadows (June 10, 1996) ("Development Contract") between the City and K-G requires payment over ten years (paragraph 2(c)).
