completed, we will have an assessment hearing at which time the dollar amounts are determined as to the benefit received by each of the parcels that would be assessed to that particular parcel. There has been the policy of the City of Roseville not to assess for residential property that is being used as residential pro- perty in R-1 and R-2 districts which makes this a doubly expen- sive one. Now, the only part that is assessed is the part that is not funded by any other means and, of course, this works according to the front footage available. And, as you can see, most of this is private single-family dwellings and they all face the short end of the street which would be the front and its whole side has only been assessed at 10 percent of the cost in the first place. So, it gets down on this particular project that there is only 1,075 feet that could possibly be assessed. The total cost of the project is $455,294 and the part that is not funded through the state is the part that we would be working on for the assessment. And it has been the polic~ to assess pro- perty over a 15-year periOd and the rate of assessment for deferred assessments is 1 percent over whatever we sell the bond issue for so that there is not much room for having any other sort of a maintenance plan. Now the que~tion, of course, remains that.engineering feature of, is this a feasible, viable project for this particular cost? And that is the question that is pre- sented before the council today. If you have any questio~s I will be glad to answer them on how this proceeds. Do you know what exactly the funding is from the state on the paved roads? HONCHELL: They will fund 100 percent of it but we assess based on benefit to property to reduce the amount of funds that have to be used so that is stretches dollars to as many projects as possible. PETERSON: In this particular case the engineer, Mr. Honchell, has mentioned already that this would be a prohibitive amount if we would use it on a regular front foot basis and then coming in with a recommendation to the counsel to make it quite a bit less, something around the $80 figure that you spoke of. ROGER MULHAGEN, 468 West Eldridge: I am a member of the Roseville Lutheran and I was chairman of the building committee on the last building project. At that time in order to get our building permit we were asked to donate another 17 feet of pro- perty to the City to make this particular project feasible. The previous building project was also asked to contribute the origi- nal 15 feet of the certain property to widen it to the center of the street. We would hope that, as you know, you are assessing Roseville Lutheran, that you would keep in mind that property that we have already given to the City. Also, we think parking only on one side is going to create hardship for the church and that we are using a lot of that parking space on Sundays on both sides of the street. So we are really going to come out sort of on the short end of this. -4-
