Item Garden Avenue Sidewalk Discussion
Description
At the April workshop discussion, several questions were asked regarding potential
assessments for a sidewalk on Garden Avenue, and how the sidewalk was assessed and
paid for when constructed on Roselawn Avenue in 2006.
Historical information on the Roselawn sidewalk:
See the attached excerpts from the 2006 Feasibility Report for information on the
Roselawn Avenue sidewalk construction. This project was completed prior to the
adoption of the current Assessment Policy. The sidewalk costs were not included in the
assessments.
From the current City Assessment Policy (adopted June 13, 2007):
G. Sidewalks, trails and pathways
Off-street facilities provide a safe walking alternative for pedestrians. As such, the City
of Falcon Heights recognizes the importance of these facilities and will construct them
when possible. Project costs will be calculated on a per-foot basis and assessments will
be applied based on the property’s front footage in the following manner:
1. Residential properties – 25% of the per foot cost multiplied by the total front footage
2. Commercial properties – 40% of the per foot cost multiplied by the total front footage
3. Tax-Exempt properties – 100% of the per foot cost multiplied by the total front
footage
