4 <br />City of Roseville <br />SPECIAL ASSESSMENT POLICY <br />SUMMARY <br />1. The following assessment policies will be followed in the upgrading of temporary public <br />roadways (not meeting standards set forth in City Code), under the City's jurisdiction, to <br />permanent bituminous roadways with concrete curb and gutters. <br />2. The following assessment formulas shall apply to any such upgrading of public roadways <br />6 under the City's jurisdiction. <br />7 (a) On street improvement projects, it is desirable that at least 25% of the cost for the <br />8 project to be obtained from sources other than ad valorum taxes. <br />9 (b) All property shall be assessed a minimum of 25% of the actual cost for a 7 -ton, <br />10 32 -foot wide pavement with concrete curb and gutter and routine drainage. <br />11 (c) All property shall be assessed at a rate of a 7 -ton, 32 -foot wide pavement with <br />12 concrete curb and gutter and routine drainage, even if the width or strength is <br />13 <br />14 <br />15 <br />16 <br />17 <br />18 <br />19 <br />20 <br />21 <br />22 <br />23 <br />24 <br />25 <br />26 <br />27 <br />28 <br />29 <br />30 <br />31 <br />32 <br />33 <br />34 <br />35 <br />36 <br />37 <br />38 <br />39 <br />40 <br />41 <br />42 <br />43 <br />44 <br />45 <br />greater. <br />(d) In addition to the costs set forth in (a) through (c) above, all property may be <br />assessed a proportionate share on a footage basis for expenses encountered for <br />right -of -way and easement acquisition necessary for that segment of the entire <br />project including the roadway abutting the property. <br />(e) All corner and multiple frontage parcels in non -tax exempt R -1 and R -2 status <br />shall be considered as having 10% of the second side as being assessable footage <br />unless such parcels could be split or subdivided. <br />(f) All properties abutting Minnesota State Aid Roseville roadways shall be assessed <br />at least 25% of the cost for the project. <br />(g) All odd and irregularly shaped lots, which have rear widths that vary by more <br />than 25% in comparison with the front width, the lot will be assumed to have a <br />depth equal to one -half the sum of the two sides and said depth will be divided <br />into the area of the lot to determine the assessable frontage. All lots of more than <br />four sides will be geometrically converted to a four -sided lot of equal area, then <br />the odd -lot formula as stated above will be sued to determine the assessable <br />frontage. Where this is not practical, the assessable frontage will be determined <br />by assuming the lot to have an assessable frontage equal to those of the typical <br />rectangular lots near it which are comparable in overall area and nature. <br />3. All properties abutting existing usable temporary roadways under the jurisdiction of <br />Ramsey County to be upgraded to permanent roadways with curb and gutter shall be <br />specially assessed pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 2 above. In the event that said <br />special assessments should result in more funds being due the City from special <br />assessments than the total cost to the City of the improvements to such road under the <br />jurisdiction of Ramsey County, special assessments for such properties shall be reduced <br />proportionately until the total special assessments equal the total City costs of the <br />improvement. <br />4. On all new public roadways constructed where no usable temporary roadway existed, the <br />special assessment procedure of Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 need not be utilized. Such <br />properties will normally be assessed at 100% of the cost. <br />
