Hunter's Crossing — Special Assessments <br /> City Engineer, Tom Peterson, reviewed the Hunter's Crossing Improvements and <br /> Special Assessments with the Council. He stated this hearing allows the City to <br /> address any issues residents may have with proposed assessments. Mr. Peterson <br /> stated this project is a little more costly than other projects due to the fact that the <br /> City is not able to open up the County Road, but would have to `jack under" the <br /> roadway. <br /> Mr. Peterson stated the total cost for the project is $189,000 for twelve inch sewer <br /> and water lines. Mr. Peterson explained Mr. Carlson, the developer, would be <br /> paying roughly 53% of the assessment value and residents would be responsible <br /> for the remaining 47 %. <br /> Mr. Peterson explained the sanitary sewer and water cost were based on a square <br /> footage of front yards per each residential lot. He asked for comments and <br /> questions from the Council and residents. <br /> The public hearing was opened at 6:14 p.m. <br /> Ken Vanderbeek, 6892 Centerville Road, stated he has 2.7 acres and over half is <br /> low land, which could not be developed. He stated his assessment is almost <br /> $30,000 and the connection was not even to his house. Mr. Vanderbeek stated he <br /> was not in favor of this assessment because it does not offer his property an <br /> increased value of $30,000. He added that he is disappointed with the fact the <br /> outlet road will point straight at his house. <br /> Ben Henrich, 6945 Centerville Road, asked why there were no assessments down <br /> the east side of Centerville Road. Mr. Peterson stated Center Street would be <br /> assessed at the time the water hook ups were connected. <br /> Mr. Henrich asked why the fee for the proposed assessments was higher than <br /> those proposed in past years. Mr. Peterson stated the watermain costs within the <br /> Parkview Development was not assessed to those along Centerville Road, adding <br /> only the fees for service to the houses were assessed. <br /> Larry Woiak, 6925 Centerville Road, stated nine property owners would be <br /> paying for the majority of the service for a new development and he disagreed <br /> with the proposed assessments. <br /> Council Member Broussard Vickers asked why the pipelines were not on the <br /> same side of the street. Mr. Peterson stated there is more room on the east side of <br /> the street and there is very little room for the sewer line, let alone adding water <br /> pipelines. <br /> Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if costs would be reduced if the <br /> pipelines were on the same side of the street. Mr. Peterson stated the services side <br /> of the fees may be reduced slightly. <br /> 2 <br />
