Because this is a coz�plete street recc�nstruction prajeet, a portion of it ma� be ass�sserl. The proposed ass�ssment discussian inclucled in the Feasibility re�ort is eonsisfien� with the £oliowing City of Rosevi�le assess�nraer�t policie�: • The assessme�ts sk�all not be for zanore than 25% nf the cost to co�struct a 32 foot wid� 7-to� rnad iar all properly zoning. o`i�o meet state aid standards, this xaad will be cans�ucted ta a 9-ton crpss section. �`or the p�.uposes of assessmen� calculatia�, we �educe th� estirnated quat�tities �o reflect the cost to b�ild a 7-ton road. Alsa si�c� t�.e proposed road is 34 feet wide, we sc�btract the costs to cc��struct the additional2 �eet of pavement. • No costs associated wiih storm sewer or sidewalk car�st-r�action will be as�essed to property owners. • Any utility replace�rxae�t/repair be funded by the appropriate utility fi�nd and r�ot beco�xae part of �he ass�ssa,bl� portion of the project. Chap�er 429 of state statute has �wo znajo�r paza�ts to consider when: justi£yzng assessments, first, the assessment has to �reat similar prbpertics �qually, and second, the amo�nt o�t�e assessment I�as tn be equal to or less �han the resul�ing inc�ease i�. praperty value. We �ave �xplored a. z�urxa.ber of c�ifferent options far esta�lishing an assessmerzt rate for �his yeax's projeet. O�iion A: Use assessable frontage tn establish assessr�ent rate. ($49.671 foot} The City's practice has been to set the a�sessrrzent rate using actuai assessable frprztage on the xoad. Many homes on Roselavrn Avenue in Roseville are side yarc� frantages w�ich are calculated at 10% o�the actua� lot lir�e length. Strictly applying the City's assessment �olicy, the assessable foo�age for this project is 1490.8 � feei. This is a little rnore than half o�whai as could be consic�ered "assessable frontage". As a result, using the actual assessable frontage of this street to se� assess�nent �olicy sets the 100% assessme�t per foot rate at $19$.b8/ foot. This sig�i�canfily inereases the proposed assessment amou�t. The assessmer�fi rate for ihis optior� would be $49.671 ft($4�967 for a 1 QQ foot wide lot). This assess�ent rate is a little �ess t�arz dauble our average his�orical assessment rate af $25/ foot. O t�'z ,an B: Centerline length io determine assessment rafie. ($28.05/ fao�) Rase�awra Av�nue is 2640 feet long (0.5 miles). If we were ta use t�e ac�al length of the road
