Memo <br />TO: Mayor Blesener Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer <br />DATE: February 17, 2011 <br />RE: <br />CLF1-11IHG ASSOCIATES <br />Dianna Lane <br />Declare Costs and Order Preparation of Assessment Roll <br />Cali for Assessment Hearing <br />As discussed at the public hearing for Dianna Lane a unique Outlot exists along the <br />street within the Gervais Shores Addition development. The Outlot is owned by the <br />Gervais Shores Association and provides walk in access to the lake for all the lots within <br />the Gervais Shores Addition. Typically the Association (as the owner) would be <br />assessed for the lot; however, membership in the association is not mandatory and not <br />all the property owners are members. As a result, members of the Association have <br />asked that the Outlot's assessment be evenly divided out to all the lots within the <br />Gervais Shores Addition. Staff is willing to accommodate the request as long as no <br />objections are received and the full assessment is paid. <br />Typically we have held all assessment hearings for a project in October after all final <br />costs are known. However, since the assessments for reconstruction projects are <br />controlled by the maximum front foot assessment rate, variations from the estimated <br />cost to the final construction cost do not affect the assessment amounts. Therefore, <br />staff is recommending that the Council declare costs, order preparation of assessment <br />rolls, and call for the assessment hearing for Dianna Lane at this time. If any objections <br />are received at the hearing due to the division of the Outlot's assessment to all <br />properties within the Gervias Shores Addition, a second assessment hearing could be <br />held and the Association could be assessed for the Outlot. <br />We would propose that the hearing be held at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 23, 2011. <br />If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 763 780 -0450 Ext. 3. <br />10062 Flanders Court NE Blaine, MN 55449 (763) 780 -0450 fax (763) 205 -2341 <br />Z:\PROJ \120145E 2011 Street Utility Improvements \0564 \Memo- 021711-.CC -Call for Dianna lane Assessments.doc <br />1 <br />TI 1U1 imam <br />
