020 <br />COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING SEPTEMBER 21, 1987 <br />Harvey Cheesebrough, 7655 - 4th Avenue - Mr. Cheesebrough <br />said the Council originally has indicated that no property <br />south of Thomas Street would be assessed. Since then the <br />Council has taken property from him for easement purposes <br />and is now proposing to assess him approximately the same <br />amount as was paid him for the easement. He felt that he <br />and Molin Concrete Products would be paying about 25% of the <br />cost of the entire improvement. In addition he noted that <br />he felt the assessment was at the wrong end of the project. <br />He felt that those further to the north should pay more <br />since they would be receiving more benefit than his <br />property. Mayor Benson told Mr. Cheesebrough that he was <br />not being assessed the full amount and he was receiving an <br />area wide benefit. <br />Mr. Stahlberg explained to Mr. Cheesebrough that he was <br />being assessed on a front foot basis as was everyone else <br />along 4th Avenue. At the time the improvement was ordered <br />the Council did not have an assessment policy and this is <br />why there has been some confusion as to who would or would <br />not be assessed. Also this is the first state aid <br />improvement project completed by this City. Mayor Benson <br />noted that at the beginning he felt that the Council said <br />there would be no assessment for the improvement of 4th <br />Avenue only. There would be an assessment for the <br />improvement of Ditch No. 22. <br />Mr. Cheesebrough said he felt sorry for those who did have a <br />drainage problem but felt he was bearing an unnecessary <br />large portion of the costs. <br />Neil Banta, 7829 Nottingham Lane - Mr. Banta said he <br />remembered a meeting about a year ago when the Council <br />discussed an escrow account of the developer of Sherwood <br />Green which was to be applied to this improvement. He <br />wondered what happened to this account. Mr. Banta also <br />noted that the area north of Main Street certainly benefits <br />from the improvement of Ditch No. 22 because water is now <br />able to get out of the area faster. Mr. Stahlberg told Mr. <br />Banta that the property owners north of Main Street will be <br />paying an assessment in the future when the ditches north of <br />Main Street are cleaned and improved. These property owners <br />are outside of the district and cannot legally be assessed. <br />Mr. Banta felt that they get direct benefit and felt they <br />should have been included in the assessment. Mayor Benson <br />said they were outside of the scope of the project and if <br />the Council were to consider assessing the property north of <br />Main Street they would have to address the question of how <br />PAGE 2 <br />
