Ms. Deb Bloom - 2- November 27, 2012 City ofi Roseville c. Two (2) public open houses/property owner meetings. d. Two (2) City Council meetings or work sessions. 3. Analyze the four projects to determine the most appropriate assessinents for each, using the following process: a. Determine the potential assessable areas fior each of the projects using the previous traffic analysis for the rate allocation study using the Metropolitan Council regional model and TAZ distribution areas. For budgeting puiposes, we have assumed up to three (3) options will be presented to staff for consideration to identify the preferred assessment area. b. Once the assessable areas are determined for each of the projects, the proposed assessments will be calculated based on three (3) alternatives as determined by City staff, possibly using 100 percent assessments, 20 percent assessments (minimum required to sell bonds), and a third option, Benefit appraisals will be completed to verify the assessment amounts and to help determine the appropriate methodology for future projects d. Prepare the final assessment rolls to be included in the feasibility report. e. Prepare GIS maps illustrating the assessment areas and property information. 4. Prepare a d►•aft and final feasibility report. The draft report and results will be presented at the public open houses for comment and input from property owners. Upon receiving comments from City staff, a final report will be prepared and presented to the City Council. Up to 20 hard copies of the report will be provided along with an electronic copy. It is our understanding that the City may or may not proceed with the 429 special asses5ment processes to actually hold a public hearing and order the improvements, but rather the goal of this project is to establish the assessment methodologies and rates that can be supported by each p►•oject and used for future Twin Lalces projects. ASSUMPTIONS The following assumptions are made in preparing our scope and fee: a. The current land uses outlined in the City's comprehensive plan in the AUAR will be used to deteimine future traffic projections unless the City provides a different land use plan. b. The trip generation amounts provided in the previous inPrastructure cost allocation study for the AUAR area will be used to start the analysis, but the benefited areas for the feasibility study will expand beyond the areas used for the AUAR Study. c. The City's special assessment policy wifl be used to establish the basis for the initial assessment amounts in the feasibility report. d. That only a sampling (maybe 10-20%) of the parcels in each land use classification will have benefit appraisals done to test the assessment amounts against the increased property values. PROJECT TEAM Our Project Manager will be Dave Hutton, PE. Dave has over 20 years of working on special assessment rela[ed projects in Minnesota and is the former City Engineer of Shakopee and Savage. He will be supported in the area of traffic by Craig Vaughn, PE and Matt Pacyna, PE who recently worked on the Twin Lakes
