AGENDA ITEM 6D STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Powell, City Engineer COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 8, 1999 TOPIC: Consideration Resolution No 99 -102, Adopt Assessment Roll, I35WRH49 Interchange Commercial Development Trunk VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority BACKGROUND; On September 13, 1999, the City Council set the Public Hearing for the proposed assessments for the 135W/TH49 Interchange Commercial Development Trunk project for Monday, October 25, 1999. The Public Hearing was not held to allow time for discussion of the City's assessment policy for properties which will be developed or re- developed in the near future. The City has also received objections to the proposed assessments. Deferment of the assessments until the properties are developed is supported for the following reasons: 1. Assessment deferment in developing areas has been previously allowed in the City of Lino Lakes. 2. The properties proposed to be assessed will likely develop in the near future. 3. This project has been funded by the City's Area and Unit Trunk account. 4. The basis for utility assessments is the developable area and the intensity of the water and sewer use These can be more accurately calculated after a specific site use is known. We recommend the assessments for this project be deferred until such time as the properties develop and connect to City utilities. Resolution No 99 -102 has been modified to reflect this intent. OPTIONS: 1. Return to staff for further review. 2. Adopt the original assessment roll for the l35W/TH49 Interchange Commercial Development Trunk project. 3. Adopt Resolution No 99 -102 deferring the sanitary sewer and water assessments until such time as the properties develop. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Option No. 3, Adoption of (revised) Resolution No. 99 -102.
