3 was withdrawn from the plan. MR. POPOVICH: The to tal combined cost of this consolidated improvement was $415,499.61 of which $81,426.08 is recommended to be picked up by special assessments, and the balance by general taxes or state aids. The storm sewer portion was $228,923.93 of that larger amount, of which $44,909.80 will come up on the assessments. It will be assessed according to the normal City policy of $295 per lot on residential buildable lots, unbuildable $590, and double that for the other acreage that's involved. The street, curb and gutter is $157,111.63 of that larger total, of which $13,783.08 will be picked up by special assessments. It's all against the church at $88.66 a front foot since residential property isn't assessed when on a State Aid Street. Sanitary sewer services are $4,996.10 - one property owner with five services requesting that - that's 100% assessed, as well as the water services of $3,535.04. The sidewalk cost is $14,202.06 which works out to $14.91 a front foot for the assessment and that's the amount the City was billed for by the state because they let that contract. It's recommended that this be spread over20 years with the normal carrying charges and normal rights to prepay. MR. NORTH reported that a letter had been received from Mrs. Elizabeth Schmidt, 2865 North Hamline requesting that there be a deferment of her assessments since she's presently serviced by previous installations and allowed the openings to save the City of Rosevi1le expensive street repairs in the future. MR. NORTH also reported that a letter had been received from Condor Corporation, owners of the All State Insurance Company building requesting that no assessments be. made against their property under Improvement 79-4rsince there is no benefit. MR. RON REILLY, representing the Centennial Church: Objected to the sidewalk assessment since that property is noh usable by the church. Mr. Reilly asked why the church is being assessed for sewer, curb and gutter and no one else is. Mayor Demos explained that other properties are subject to general taxes, but the church is not, and this is the only method of charging the church for its share of the cost. MR. DICK STEINER: He was the former owner of the southeast corner of Snelling and County Road C-2. When the property was condemned, he was left with just a small piece. It's an unusual piece of property and he doesn't believe it will be improved by $1,066, which is the amount of his assessment. Mr. Steiner furfuer said he believed the property had already been assessed for storm sewers.
