Mr. March stated four property owners have already contested the proposed <br /> assessments and he noted the developer may have to be addressed on this issue <br /> before the development moves forward. <br /> Mr. Woiak stated it would cost him $1,000 to have his site assessed to determine <br /> the exact property value gained. He indicated he does not want to see the local <br /> residents charged for the benefit gained by the developer. <br /> Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if larger percentage of the <br /> assessments could be placed on the developer. She also asked if there was a <br /> precedence set in past developments as to the percentage paid by developers. Mr. <br /> March stated this varies on a case -by -case basis due to the terrain and length of <br /> services needed. <br /> Council Member Broussard Vickers asked how the 53% was devised. City <br /> Engineer Peterson stated that since only half of the roadway is developed, the <br /> developer was given 50% of the fee "off the bat." Mr. March stated the developer <br /> is aware of the assessment fees up front and will still be successful after paying <br /> off these fees. <br /> Council Member Nelson stated she would feel the same way as the residents <br /> along Centerville Road. She expressed concern for the grading work that has <br /> begun. Council Member Sweeney stated this is being completed at the <br /> developer's risk and expense. He explained that the Council needs a better grasp <br /> of the actual fees before the Council could move forward with this project. <br /> Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if an appraiser should be contacted at <br /> this time to look at the assessment and value added to each lot in this project. Mr. <br /> March stated this was premature at this time and asked that the Council wait until <br /> the plans and specifications are back from the City Engineer. He stated the <br /> burden would then be on the developer to get this through with the residents. <br /> Mr. Woiak asked that he be notified of all future discussions on this item. Mr. <br /> March stated he would follow through with this request. <br /> VIII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> Weight Restrictions <br /> Council Member Travis asked if there was a formal policy on weight restrictions <br /> for the City. Mr. March stated there was nothing in place at this time. <br /> Council Member Travis stated in neighboring communities the Public Works <br /> Department deals with these issues and no exceptions are allowed. He stated this <br /> system seems to work well because the Public Works Department knows the most <br /> about the streets. <br /> Mayor Wilharber stated a formal policy could be set by Council for the Public <br /> Works Department to follow. Mr. March stated that no exceptions would be an <br /> easy policy to follow through with for the City. <br /> Page 6 of 12 <br />
