Attachment B City of Roseville SPECIAL ASSESSMENT POLICY SUMMARY 1 1. The following assessment policies will be followed in the upgrading of temporary public 2 roadways (not meeting standards set forth in City Code), under the City's jurisdiction, to 3 permanent bituminous roadways with concrete curb and gutters. 4 5 2. The following assessment formulas shall apply to any such upgrading of public roadways 6 under the City's jurisdiction. 7 (a) All property shall be assessed at least 25% of the actual cost for a 7 -ton, 32 -foot 8 wide pavement with concrete curb and gutter and routine drainage. 9 (b) Municipal State Aid Roadways: 10 • All properties abutting Municipal State Aid roadways shall be assessed at 11 least 25% of the cost for the project. 12 • All property shall be assessed at a rate of a 7 -ton, 32 -foot wide pavement 13 with concrete curb and gutter and routine drainage, even if the width or 14 strength is greater. 15 (c) In addition to the costs set forth in (a) through (b) above, all property may be 16 assessed a proportionate share on a footage basis for expenses encountered for 17 right -of -way and easement acquisition. 18 (d) All corner and multiple frontage R1 and R2 parcels shall be considered as having 19 10% of the second side as being assessable footage unless such parcels could be 20 split or subdivided. All other zoned properties will be calculated at 10% for the 21 first 150 feet and then 100% for any additional footage. 22 (e) On odd and irregularly shaped lots, which have rear widths that vary by more than 23 25% in comparison with the front width, the lot will be assumed to have a depth 24 equal to one -half the sum of the two sides and said depth will be divided into the 25 area of the lot to determine the assessable frontage. 26 (f) All lots of more than four sides will be geometrically converted to a four -sided lot 27 of equal area, then the odd -lot formula as stated in (e) will be used to determine 28 the assessable frontage. Where this is not practical, the assessable frontage will 29 be determined by assuming the lot to have an assessable frontage equal to those of 30 the typical rectangular lots near it which are comparable in overall area and 31 nature. 32 (g) If a public improvement takes place along a roadway with a private drive, all 33 properties with access to the drive will be assessed. The frontage of the private 34 property or properties directly adjacent to the roadway will determine the 35 assessable frontage for all other properties along the private drive. 36 37 3. All properties abutting existing usable temporary roadways under the jurisdiction of 38 Ramsey County to be upgraded to permanent roadways with curb and gutter shall be 39 specially assessed pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 2 above. In the event that said 40 special assessments should result in more funds being due the City from special 41 assessments than the total cost to the City of the improvements to such road under the 42 jurisdiction of Ramsey County, special assessments for such properties shall be reduced 43 proportionately until the total special assessments equal the total City costs of the 44 improvement. 45
