2 The storm drainage is within the dashed area as shown, with actual drains being constructed along Dale and along Iona. The boundary line, you notice, is rather irregular and also away from some of the improvements proper, so you have the top of the hill and the bottom of the hill. This line is irregular for the reason there were previous storm sewer improvements just to the west and this line corresponds to the boundary line between those areas that were assessed for storm drains to the west and those that weren't that are within the area. Water does get into the City's recent construction facility and as such, is normally considered part of a storm sewer assessment project. MR. POPOVICH: This total improvement composed of the storm sewer and street program, as the engineer said, $17,700 will be raised by assessments on the storm sewer part and $6475 assessments on the street. The storm sewer will have our normal policy of $295 per residential buildable lot, and $590 for the other types of zoning. On the street portion, since it's State Aid involved, the residential property won't be assessed, but the school will be at $51.81 a front foot over 20 years with the usual carrying charge. MR. NORTH reported that a letter had been received from MR. JAMES ARMBRUST, 629 lona Lane, accompanied by a Certificate of Value. Mr. Armbrust said that directly or indirectly the assessment is paid for by the purchaser, and the proposed assessment is in addition to what he previously paid as part of the purchase price of the property. Mr. North indicated that records show that no assessment has been paid for storm sewer, but that the VA form accompanying the letter showed that it had. He further said that the City has no way of knowing how the VA Department concluded that. MR. HONCHELL said that at the time of the feasibility hearing several people in the area indicated that they had already been assessed for storm drainage - which mayor may not have been based on information given to them by the seller. Mr. Honchell said his department looked into the matter then and again before the assessment proceedings were completed, and according to their records, that area has not been assessed for storm sewer under any other improvement. Mr. Honchell further said there are storm drains for the interior in what's called the overall subdivision, but this portion of the land was not a party of that. MR. HARLEN TORGERSON, 646 Terrace Drive: Discussed a problem of his driveway apron sinking. Mr. Honchell said he would look into the matter. MR. PAT DONNELLY, 645 Terrace Drive: Asked why there are only a few lots being assessed for the storm sewer, one of which belongs to him. Mr. Honchell explained that the homes to the west were previously assessed.
