MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JULY 14, 1993 RECESS multiple-family property, and it may be that when these projects occur, the policy may have to be adjusted. Morelan asked for this acknowledgement in memo form. The Administrator suggested that the acknowledgement be made at the beqinning of the policy. Hanson questioned Item 7 on page 7. The City Administrator suggested that the wording "City's determination of the" be added just before "portion of costs attributable". In reference to wording on page 8, Hanson asked if frontage was determined by property address. After discussion of this issue, it was the consensus of the Council to use street address to determine frontage. Council discussed the treatment of corner lots as proposed on page 9, Item 2. Scalze asked how the City would handle the assessment for a shoulder paving improvement for a double-fronting lot. The Administrator suggested that he add some wording to try to ensure that shoulder paving improvements are handled in an equitable manner. The treatment of corner lots as proposed was acceptable to the Council. Council discussed Item 2. a. on page 10, and it was the consensus of the Council to change the word "higher" to "commercial". At this point in the meeting, 7:28 P.M., Council recessed the workshop until after their regular meeting. The workshop reconvened at 9:20 P.M. The Council began discussion of the treatment of multiple residential property. The City Administrator pointed out the need to provide an equitable assessment of multiple residential property compared to single residential property pointing out that frontage would not be the only factor considered in assessing multiple-family, but extra street width required to serve the multiple-family as well. Morelan was concerned that the basis for calculating an assessment for a multiple-family property would be arbitrary. Page 3
