City of Roseville <br />SPECIAL ASSESSMENT POLICY <br />1 The purpose of this policy is to be used as a guide by the City of Roseville when preparing <br />2 assessment rolls, so as to assure uniform and consistent treatment of affected properties. It is the <br />3 general policy of the City of Roseville to assess all affected properties according to this policy <br />4 1 without regard to funding source. <br />5 Special assessments are a charge imposed on properties for a particular improvement that <br />6 benefits the owners of those selected properties. The authority to use special assessments <br />7 originates in the state constitution which allows the state legislature to give cities and other <br />8 governmental units the authority "to levy and collect assessments for local improvements upon <br />9 property benefited thereby." The legislature confers that authority to cities in Minnesota Statutes <br />10 Chapter 429. <br />11 <br />12 <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 />1. Special Benefit Test: The proposed assessment shall be equivalent or less than the <br />anticipated increase in market value for properties being assessed. Appraisals shall be <br />completed to determine the influence of a reconstruction project on the value of the <br />properties proposing to be assessed. <br />4-2. Determining Assessable Frontage: All assessments shall be calculated using property <br />front footage on the segment of the infrastructure included in the improvement project. <br />The assessment rate shall be determined by dividing the total project cost by the total <br />assessable frontage. The following formulas shall apply for calculating the total <br />assessable frontage for the improvement project. <br />(a) The assessable frontage shall be 100% of the short side of the lot. <br />(b) Corner and Multiple Frontage R1 and R2 lots: All corner and multiple frontage <br />R1 and R2 parcels shall be considered as having 10% of the long side as being <br />assessable footage unless such parcels could be split or subdivided. This is in <br />addition to the short side frontage. <br />(c) Corner and Multiple Frontage Lots (other zoning): All corner and multiple <br />frontage lots for other property zoning shall be calculated at 10% for the first 150 <br />feet of the long side and then 100% for anv additional footage. This is in addition <br />to the short side frontage. <br />/,1\ Comef Ri auid D2- All t 1 d D2 paf shall 1. <br />�� � -cerf� i�ag�RR�� —wee .r .z- oe-een ere as <br />1 ffi -i g 104 4t e long .. :,1e as being assessa4le feet..,.e o ff1,.........,.1..... feel.. ,.,...1,7 <br />he SP14 Of S4dik'ided- <br />(B) Multiple F4- oiisxrgeR and multiple ximxcccgeR! and R2 — pccroox.r shall -oo <br />as L....:ng 1004 4t4,...,.,.end side as being assessa4le foot..,.,... «1,..... <br />()Comer and Multiple 4 rrei4age Lots: All eefner and multiple frm Cage €ef ether <br />«OFF zoning 514..11 14A ,...lpul.4ed ..t 104 4;Rr 414A f: «..t 150 feet 4t4@ 180,..4de <br />(g)LdLOdd Lot Formula (all zoning): The odd lot formula shall apply for <br />odd and irregularly shaped lots, which have rear widths that vary by more than <br />25% in comparison with the front width_ 4De 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. <br />(k)Le)_Lots with more than 4 sides: All lots of more than four sides will be geometrically <br />converted to a four -sided lot of equal area, then the odd -lot formula as stated <br />described in (ed) will be used to determine the assessable frontage.
