City of Roseville SPECIAL ASSESSMENT POLICY SUMMARY The following assessment policies will be followed in the upgrading of temporary public roadways (not meeting standards set forth in City Code), under the City's jurisdiction, to permanent bituminous roadways with concrete curb and gutters. 2. The following assessment formulas shall apply to any such upgrading of public roadways under the City's jurisdiction. (a) On street improvement projects, it is desirable that at least 25% of the cost for the project to be obtained from sources other than ad valorum taxes. (b) All property shall be assessed a minimum of2S% of the actual cost fora 7-ton, 32-foot wide pavement with concrete curb and gutter and routine drainage. (c) All property shall be assessed at a rate of a 7-ton, 32-foot wide pavement with concrete curb and gutter and routine drainage, even if the width or strength is greater. (d} In addition to the costs set forth in {a) through (c) above, all property maybe assessed a proportionate share on a footage basis for expenses encountered for right-of--way and easement acquisition necessary for that segment of the entire project including the roadway abutting the property. (e) A11 corner and multiple frontage parcels in non-tax exempt R-1 and R-2 status shall be considered as having 10% of the second side as being assessable footage unless such parcels could be split or subdivided. {f) All properties abutting Minnesota State Aid Roseville roadways shall be assessed at least 25% of the cost for the project. (g) All odd and irregularly shaped lots, which have rear widths that vary by mare than 25% in comparison with the front width, the lot will be assumed to have a depth equal to oneyhalf the sum of the two sides and said depth will be divided into the area of the lot to determine the assessable frontage. All lots of more than four sides will be geometrically converted to afour-sided. lot of equal area, then the odd-lot formula as stated above will be sued to determine the assessable frontage. Where this is not practical, the assessable frontage will be determined by assuming the lot to have an assessable frontage equal to those of the typical rectangular lots near it which are comparable in overall area and nature. 3. All properties abutting existing usable temporary roadways under the jurisdiction of Ramsey County to be upgraded to permanent roadways with curb and gutter shall be specially assessed pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 2 above. In the event that said special assessments should result in more funds being due the City from special assessments than the total cost to the City of the improvements to such road under the jurisdiction of Ramsey County, special assessments for such properties shall be reduced proportionately until the total special assessments equal the total City costs of the improvement. 4. On all new public roadways constructed where no usable temporary roadway existed, the special assessment procedure of Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 need not be utilized. Such properties will normally be assessed at 100% ofthe cost.
