AGENDA ITEM 4A STAFF ORIGINATOR: David Ahrens, City Engineer/Public Works Director DATE: October 24, 1996 TOPIC: CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING, Resolution No. 96-137, Adopting Assessment, Rice Lake Estates Letter of Map Revision INTRODUCTION: The City Council continued the public hearing for adopting the assessment to certain properties in Rice Lake Estates. The assessment is for the preparation of a Letter of Map Revision to remove the properties from a designated flood zone. One of the residents appealed the assessment as the proposed assessment was $138.88 per lot which compares to $94 per lot estimate at the beginning of the project. BACKGROUND; The original es mate to complete the Letter of Map Revision was $3,400. This estimate was based on the understanding that no FEMA processing fees would be required and the scope of work was to provide additional elevation information to support previously submitted drainage information done in 1987. Per FEMA's direction, the submittal could not be treated as an on-going review to the previous drainage information and the Letter of Map Revision was to be treated as a new application. This increased the processing fees paid to FEMA from $0 to $400. Additionally, this increased the engineering work by $900 to submit a new Letter of Map Revision. The costs are summarized as follows: Original Estimate Additional FEMA Processing Fees Additional Engineering Expense TOTAL PROJECT COST $3,400 $ 400 $ 900 $4,700. Based on the above information, the final assessment to each lot involved in the Letter of Map Revision is $130.55 ($4,700/36 lots). OPTIONS: 1. Adopt Resolution No. 96-137 adopting the assessment for the Letter of Map Revision at $94 per lot. 2. Adopt Resolution No. 96-137 adopting the assessment for the Letter of Map Revision at $130.55 per lot. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the assessment for the Rice Lake Estates Revision be $130.55 per lot Rice Lake Estates Rice Lake Estates of Map
