Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 28,2013 Page 12 that the sidewalk not be installed on the south side. Ms. Bloom provided three (3) different scenarios specific to sidewalks with the project. Scenario 1 = $55,030.80 to construct a new sidewalk on the entire length of the south side of the street Scenario 2 = $23,090.54 to construct a new sidewalk from Lexington Avenue to Churchill Street Scenario 3 = $17,456.36 for no new sidewalk construction Ms. Bloom reviewed the total cost for the City of Roseville portion of the joint project at $994,461.72; and cost breakdowns for those not assessed at $453,667.32 (sidewalk at $55,030.80; water main at $209,902.00; sanitary sewer at $22,000.00; street costs for a 10-ton street at $107,560.53; and associated engi- neering costs at $59,174.00. Based on the City's current front foot assessment formula, Ms. Bloom noted that this represented a total cost of$2,214.13 per foot for assessable frontages, and as per Assessment Policy, indicated $122.12 per foot for 50%of that cost per foot for property owners. Ms. Bloom clarified that, at this point, these costs represented "up to" costs; with appraisals recently completed to provide the special benefit test based on market values; and recommendations based on those appraisals for $60 per foot assessa- ble for single-family residential properties, and up to $90 per foot assessable for the Lutheran of the Resurrection Church. Ms. Bloom further noted recommenda- tions for the twenty-five unit apartment building at $90 per foot assessable; and commercial properties assessed at $110 per foot. Ms. Bloom reiterated that these costs were based on the recommended engineering estimates, and would be ad- justed based on actual construction costs upon completion of the reconstruction project, with those actual costs, typically lower than estimates, what assessments would ultimately be based upon. Ms. Bloom reviewed specific corner properties at Churchill and Chatsworth Streets, and staff recommendations based on front footage assessments done in 1995 when a previous reconstruction project had occurred. Ms. Bloom noted that deferral options were available for qualified homeowners of homesteaded properties who were 65 years or older, retired by virtue of a disabil- ity, or where payment would create a significant hardship; with any deferrals ac- cruing interest and becoming payable upon sale or transfer of the property. Ms. Bloom reviewed the funding for the City of Roseville portion of the joint pro- ject, with the street qualifying for Minnesota State Aid (MSA) funding: MSA funds = $552,045.22 Assessments = $139,976.10 City Engineering = $329,186.30
