COST RECOVERY Based on the City of Maplewood's Pavement Management Policy, a portion of the project cost is assessed on an equal "unit" basis. The "unit" would be based on an average residential lot, as has been used in the past. There are 52 parcels within the project area. Of those 52 parcels, 2 parcels meet warrants for a split in the future. Therefore there are 54 total assessable units in the project area. The preliminary assessment roll is provided in Exhibit 8. To supplement the assessment roll Exhibits 9, 10 11 and 12 provide a visual representation of properties proposed to be assessed for water, sanitary, storm, and street, respectively. All the properties are residential and as such will be assessed according to the city's residential rates. The only street with existing concrete curb and gutter in the project area is Kohlman Court. Past practice is to assess a partial street reconstruction unit to those properties with existing concrete curb and gutter; therefore Kohlman Court residents would qualify for the partial street assessment. The remaining properties have no concrete curb and gutter therefore qualifying for the full street reconstruction assessment. A portion of the project cost reflects the improvements within the City of Little Canada. Beam Avenue is a border street and a cost -share would be required. Also 480 -feet of new sanitary sewer main in Kohlman Lane is needed in order to provide Little Canada with a gravity sewer connection for future development. There are eight residential sanitary services along Kohlman Lane that would have to be replaced as a result of the sanitary sewer main improvements for Little Canada. Those costs are also included in Little Canada's total estimated project costs. An agreement between Maplewood and Little Canada pertaining to reimbursement for costs associated with the work would need to be executed in addition to the water and sanitary sewer joint -power agreements. This feasibility study does not include assessments to property owners in the City of Little Canada. It will be the responsibility of the City of Little Canada to conduct its own public improvement process. The City's 1999 Pavement Management Policy identifies certain improvement options with established assessment rates for each of those options. The 2008 assessment rates were set by the city council and the following assessment rates would apply. Maplewood 2008 Residential Rates: • $4,510 per unit: Water Main Assessment (includes cash connection fee) ® $4,510 per unit: Sanitary Sewer Assessment (includes cash connection fee) ® $ 900 per unit: Storm Sewer Assessment (drainage improvements) ® $5,460 per unit: Full Street Reconstruction (new concrete curb & gutter) ® $4,070 per unit: Partial Street Reconstruction (existing concrete curb & gutter) 9 19
