<br />Staff Request for Clarification Respecting the Schroeder <br />Proposed Assessment Policy <br /> <br />1. Developer Obli2:ations? Our City Code, like most city codes, <br />requires developers to bear 1000/0 of the infrastructure cost of <br />their development -- whether it is a new Target, or a <br />redeveloped Arona or Twin Lakes. Even though your Proposed <br />Assessment Policy repeatedly refers to there being no <br />assessments on "all properties," is staff correct in assuming <br />that you did NOT intend to say that the City will subsidize the <br />storm sewer or street construction / reconstruction associated <br />with a new Target or another Developer when they develop or <br />redevelop a site such as Arona or Twin Lakes or any other <br />project where Developers are currently required to pay 1000/0 of <br />their infrastructure costs? <br /> <br />2. Shift of Street Assessments from Commercial Owners to <br />Residential Owners FOR THE CITY SHARE OF COUNTY <br />STREET PROJECTS? In both the MSA and non-MSA city <br />street situation, you would have "all properties" bear a 250~ <br />assessment, residential as well as commercial properties. <br />Would you apply this same principle to the City share of County <br />Street projects, such as County C? In other words, we should <br />not assess commercial projects along County C 1000/0 of the <br />City share or that Project, but instead should assess 250/0 of the <br />City share against all property owners, residential as well as <br />commercial? <br /> <br />3. Consistency. <br /> <br />a. Why are storm sewers a "benefit to the city" yet sanitary <br />sewers are not? How should we answer questions from the <br />public about why sanitary sewers are not assessed ("benefit <br />to the whole city") but apparently you do not deem storm <br />sewers to benefit the whole city and propose instead that <br />sanitary sewers be subject to an assessment process? <br /> <br />b. You propose a 250/0 assessment on all properties on city <br />streets, yet say no property owner should receive an <br />assessment on Josephine and Owasso because "they were <br />told they would not be assessed." You are right that single <br />family residences on Josephine and Owasso were told there <br />
