m t i Page 5 Assessments 9/27/93 area* The Nelsons objection is that they are being assessed for a portion of their property that does not have actual frontage to the roadway. The proposed assessment was for 153 feet of f rontige, at a rate of $14.69 per foot, giving a total of $2,246.81* In the past, the majority of cul-de-sac lots that were assessed were being assessed using an odid�lot formulas This particular lot does not fall under that formula. Therefore, it is deemed appropriate to reduce to actual street frontage of 130 feet. This would- reduce the assessment for 950 Shryer Avenue to $1,908.94. Although a formal complaint was not received from the residents at 951 Shryer Avenue, it is deemed fair to reduce their assessment from the proposed $2,276. 18 t o $1,688.58. The justification for this reduction is that the cul-de-sac affects this property the same as 950 Shryer, and both properties should be assessed using the same method. 6* 11wIIIIII02 and ST�92ww1 : Neialiborhood 72 as An objection was received by John Carroll of 448 S. McCarrons Boulevard. Mr. Carroll's property has frontage on both S. McCarrons Boulevard and Woodruff Avenue. He states in his letter that his access and utilities all come from S. McCarrons Boulevard and the rear of his lot has a steep incline with a continuous fence backed -up to Woodruff. He has no practical use of Woodruff Avenue and, therefore, believes he should be exempt from the proposed assessments of $1,032.36 for street is improvement and $504.45 for storm sewer improvements. It is city policy that when a property abuts a county road and a city street, the property will not be assessed for improvements to the county road but will be assessed for improvements to the city ptreet. Therefore, the assessments to this property are not out of line with the city policy. After further review, it is evident that the storm water from 448 S. McCarrons Boulevard does contribute to our storm sewer system, so the stored sewer assessment of one unit in the dollar amount of $504.45 is a valid assessment. Staff recommends the proposed assessments for 448 S. McCarrons Boulevard be approved as submitted. ' b. The second written objection was by Mr. Cmiel at 478 No McCarrons Boulevard. He is contesting the assessment of $1,616.35 on the basis that the project has devalued his property. This lot has been turned over to an appraiser for a report back to the city council at the September 27, 1993, meeting.
