City of Des Plaines Neighborhood Traffic Management Policy <br />Step 4 Special Service Area (SSA) <br />If the minimum thresholds are met from the neighborhood survey then City staff will <br />prepare a more detailed engineering design of the proposed measures with detailed cost <br />estimates. Similarly the Legal Department will prepare the necessary paperwork for a <br />special service area (SSA). The SSA is a mechanism for contiguous residential areas to fund <br />localized public improvements through a localized property levy. The SSA process for <br />traffic calming measures will work as follows: <br />1. A representative of the neighborhood must work with the Legal Department in <br />submitting an application to create the SSA. The application will include: the precise <br />area and list of residences to be included within the SSA; the total dollar amount to <br />be levied upon the SSA; the breakdown of the dollar share attributable to each <br />individual property based upon assessed property value; and the repayment period <br />(between 1 and 15 years). <br />a. SSA Boundary The general rule for the SSA is that it includes all of the <br />homes that directly benefit from the improvements to be implemented. For <br />traffic calming measures that occur between intersections (e.g. speed <br />humps, curb extensions), the SSA will include all homes located on the <br />individual block (as determined by driveway frontage). For intersection <br />traffic calming measures (e.g. traffic circles, curb extensions), the SSA will <br />include all homes along the blocks that feed into the intersection. These are <br />general rules only and it is expected that each application will need to be <br />examined individually in order to make a rational determination of the <br />appropriate boundary area. An exhibit showing some sample applications of <br />the policy is included in Appendix E. <br />b. Repayment Period Illinois law provides for a maximum repayment <br />period of 15 years for SSA's. Since the City will be fronting the construction <br />funds, the City naturally favors shorter payback periods. A reasonable <br />annual interest rate, as determined by the Director of Finance at the time of <br />the SSA creation, will be applied to the current construction cost in order to <br />account for borrowing costs over the course of the selected repayment <br />period. An exhibit showing sample costs per residence for the boundary <br />area examples, given the various repayment periods, is included in Appendix <br />E. <br />Page 9 of 12 <br />2. A letter will be sent to each of the homes in the proposed SSA explaining the SSA <br />application, the SSA process and indicating the date for the public hearing. <br />3. A public hearing will be held for the SSA application at a City Council meeting. The <br />public hearing will be advertised in accordance with State and local requirements. <br />4. Each residence in the proposed SSA that opposes the formation of the SSA, must <br />submit a counter petition to the City expressing that opposition. Counter petitions <br />will be accepted for a period of 60 days following the public hearing. <br />5. If 51 percent or more of the affected residences within the SSA file counter petitions <br />within the 60 -day period, then the application to form the SSA will be terminated. <br />City staff will work with the residents to determine if there are any alternatives that <br />might be more acceptable to the neighborhood and if necessary repeat the above <br />process. <br />
