City of Roseville SPECIAL ASSESSMENT POLICY 1 The purpose of this policy is to be used as a guide by the City of Roseville when preparing 2 assessment rolls, so as to assure uniform and consistent treatment of affected properties. It is the 3 general policy of the City of Roseville to assess all affected properties according to this policy 4 I without regard to funding source. 5 Special assessments are a charge imposed on properties for a particular improvement that 6 benefits the owners of those selected properties. The authority to use special assessments 7 originates in the state constitution which allows the state legislature to give cities and other 8 governmental units the authority "to levy and collect assessments for local improvements upon 9 property benefited thereby." The legislature confers that authority to cities in Minnesota Statutes 10 Chapter 429. 11 1. Special Benefit Test: The proposed assessment shall be equivalent or less than the 12 anticipated increase in market value for properties being assessed. Appraisals shall be 13 completed to determine the influence of a reconstruction proiect on the value of the 14 properties proposing to be assessed. 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 4-2. Determining Assessable Frontage: All assessments shall be calculated using property front footage on the segment of the infrastructure included in the improvement project. The assessment rate shall be determined by dividing the total project cost by the total assessable frontage. The following formulas shall apply for calculating the total assessable frontage for the improvement project. (a) The assessable frontage shall be 100% of the short side of the lot (b) Comer and Multiple Frontage R1 and R2 lots: All comer and multiple frontage R1 and R2 parcels shall be considered as having 10% of the long side as being assessable footage unless such parcels could be split or subdivided. This is in addition to the short side frontage. (c) Comer and Multiple Frontage Lots (other zoning): All comer and multiple frontage lots for other property zoning shall be calculated at 10% for the first 150 feet of the long side and then 100% for any additional footage. This is in addition to the short side frontage. 48 Sf4ft 8F SH44R44&E1- (e) .i «�gy�.eR! aia4 All .. u4ipl sf efg go R! aia4 RQ pa�ae'sskall 4e zefli� S13811 be ,.810118ted at 194 f0F 40 f Fst 1 cn C"'S i t^ (g)LL_Odd Lot Formula (all zoning): The odd lot formula shall apply for �, odd and irregularly shaped lots, which have rear widths that vary by more than 25% in comparison with the front width_ ,4The lot will be assumed to have a depth equal to one -half the sum of the two sides and said depth will be divided into the area of the lot to determine the assessable frontage. 44i)Le)_Lots with more than 4 sides: All lots of more than four sides will be geometrically converted to a four -sided lot of equal area, then the odd -lot formula as 44@4 described in (ed) will be used to determine the assessable frontage.
