�� e � �'''r"'�'`� q � �'° � � � � � f TO: Ros�vi�.e City Council FROM �is Kuck RE: Special Assessmentfor Street and Curbing ��r,� ��,�� .'� `� 0 5- 0 6 DATE: S�p�m�ier 16,2007 I aan writing to you in regards to the special assessment that was placed on my properiy on South 4wasso Blvd (properiy � 01.2923.12.0038) for the curbing and streetwork that was done. My assessment is $5,391.82 based on 2�� feet of frontage. I feel that my property is an unusual piece of properiy, at�.d, as such, should be given special consideration when being assessed. My �p�,e is on a piece of properiy that lies between the high lines and the standard oil line on the north side of it, and a pond that is used by the city as part of it's rainwater runoff system on the south. The high lines and oil line both require a large setback from them for all buildings, therefore, it is really unfeasible for a home to be built to the north of mine, or for a home to be built much fu�'t�e�' north than mine is. A Drainage pipe was placed connecting the pond on the south end of my properiy with a rainwater collection point in the Qwassa Hi11s1�a11o�r/w�ate�vor development above mine when it was built in the 1990's. Therefore, it is used to help �laxi�y the lake water and control tY� water runoff into the lake. My house was built with a small part of the properiy at st�eet level, the remaining part of the properiy is down a hill at the same level as the pond (Drainage ditch). On occasion, the city releases too much water too quickly, causing some of my properiy out of the ponds rim to get wet, making that land unsuitable for a building site. Furthermore, it is my understandingthat the Qvvasso Hills association owns part of this pond, and they are not being assessed for any of the streetwork on the portion of the street that adjoins their properiy. The homeslprc��erties on my block all have approximately the same estimated market value'as mine (with all of them being slightly above mine), therefore I feel that my special assessmentfor the roadwork should be approximately the �� as those properties. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, �-�fj f � K�is K�ck �?� �au� ��as�u �]�� Roseville, � 55113 �� 1 � ��
