The following is a description of objections that have been raised since the September 11, 2000 <br />meeting, followed by a staff analysis and recommendation. This information is also summarized <br />in the attached table. <br />1. Oral Objection: Robert Selden, Vacant parcel at Woodlynn and Farrington <br />PIN and Proposed Assessment: 01-29-23-12-0015 $2,286.66 <br />Original assessment (100%): $9,146.64 <br />Original roll showed this property owner as State of Minnesota Tax Forfeit Parcel- Tax <br />Exempt. Our policy is to assess tax exempt parcels at 100% regardless of zoning. The <br />property owner called to object to the large assessment. Staff researched the properry and <br />discovered that it was purchased on Contract for Deed and was not a tax exempt parcel. <br />Assessment should be adjusted to reflect the 25% rate. <br />Recommendation: Reduce assessment from $9,1�6.64 to $2,286.66. <br />2. Written Objection: Woodlynn Park Civic Association, Lake Access Lot <br />PIN and Proposed Assessment: 01-29-23-11-0047 $944.25 <br />The President of the Association is objecting to the assessment for this lot. Stating the lot is <br />unbuildable because of easements. There are City of Roseville, Amoco pipeline and NSP <br />easements on the property. There is a small triangle of land, 990 square feet in area, that is <br />without easement. Considering that this is lakeshore property, it is probable that at some <br />future date it may be built on. A copy of the letter is attached <br />Recommendation: No change in assessment <br />Policy Objectives: The assessment roll presented to the Council has been prepared in <br />accordance with the City's assessment policy. All assessment standards were followed in its <br />preparation. <br />Financial Implications: These projects have been financed using a combination of special <br />assessments, improvement bonds and utility funds. Financing for the individual projects is <br />consistent with past City policy and practice. <br />Staff Recommendation: Staff has reviewed each of the objections raised at the September 11, <br />2000 hearing. It is recommended that the Council adopt the attached resolution that outlines the <br />recommended assessment changes and adopts the assessment roll. <br />RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: <br />Approval of a resolution adopting and confirming as amended 2000 assessments for <br />improvements P-99-02-1 9, P-99-02-22, P-99-02-23, P-99-1 3. <br />Prepared by: Debra Bloom <br />
