2 Also, a piece of County Road D was constructed from Victoria to Avon. The storm sewer system was constructed which is shown in red, including a ponding area near the cul-de-sac on Millwood, and a collection system along Millwood from the internal lots nearby. The area outlined in blue encompasses those properties which have land that drains toward this storm sewer facility and have not been assessed in the past for storm sewer. The standard policy of the city is that if your land has water that drains from it toward a facility which is being constructed, that it's eligible and a part of the assessing procedure. MR. POPOVICH: The total cost of this project is $373,938. On the storm sewer portion, the total cost is $192,380, of which the assessments, according to the assessment rate, would raise $49,617, and general taxes will raise $142,762. On the street cost the total cost is $181,558 of which approximately $13,755 will come from Shoreview, leaving a balance of $167,803 to be assessed at 100%, or $25.08 a front foot against that benefited property. This would be a 20 year assessment with the 8% carrying charge with the normal rights of prepayment or deferment, as the case may be. MAYOR DEMOS: Are there any communications? MR. ANDRE: We have two letters - one from Gene Hinz on West OWasso Boulevard, and one from Sidney Olson, and a petition with 36 signatures opposing the proposed assessments. Mayor Demos then announced that the meeting was open for the consideration of oral objections, if any, to said proposed assessment. All persons present were given the opportunity to present objections, and all such objections were tabulated as follows: MR. JOHN MORRISON, 3151 West Owasso Boulevard: Circulated the petition opposing the storm water assessment since none of the signers receive a benefit from the improvement. MR. ROGER NELSON, 2916 West Owasso Boulevard: Said the county had a drainage system in the area many years ago that was torn up by the Village of Roseville when they put in the sewer system and it was never repaired. Mr. Nelson mentioned a catch basin from which the black dirt was taken out and moved to Central Park. He said this was in conflict with the deed restrictions on the property. MR. DONALD AHLSTROM, 3057 West Owasso Boulevard: Asked how it was decided what lots would be assessed. Further asked what happened to the water before the storm sewer was put in.
