CONTINUATION OF ASSESSMENT PUBLIC HEARING, RICE LAKE ESTATES LETTER OF MAP REVISION, DAVID AHRENS Consideration of Resolution No. 96 - 137, Adopting Assessment, Rice Lake Estates Letter of Map Revision - Mr. Ahrens explained that this public hearing for adopting the assessment to certain properties in Rice Lake Estates is being continued in order to present additional information explaining the costs involved in the project, which costs bring the proposed assessment to $130.55 per lot from the $94 estimate established at the beginning of the project. Mr. Ahrens added that the original estimate to complete the Letter of Map Revision to remove the properties from a designated flood zone was $3,400. This estimate was based on the understanding that no FEMA processing fees would be required and that the scope of work was to provide additional elevation information to support previously submitted drainage information prepared in 1987. Per FEMA's direction, the submittal could not be treated as continuation of the previous drainage study, and the Letter of Map Revision was to be treated as a new application. Resulting increased FEMA processing fees were determined to be $400. Additionally, the fee for engineering work in connection with submitting a new Letter of Map Revision increased by $900. The entire cost breakdown is as follows: Original Estimate $3,400 Additional FEMA Processing Fees 400 Additional Engineering Expense 900 TOTAL PROJECT COST $4,700 Based upon the above information, the final assessment to each lot involved in the Letter of Map Revision is projected at $130.55 ($4,700 divided by 36 lots). Staff recommended that Resolution No. 96 - 137 be adopted establishing the assessment for the Rice Lake Estate Letter of Map Revision at $130.55 per lot. Council Member Bergeson asked if the additional engineering expense would be paid to the company that performed the original work. Mr. Ahrens responded in the affirmative. Council Member Kuether requested clarification that the FEMA requirement for treatment of this estimate as a new application was not known at the time of the original estimate. Mr. Ahrens responded that there was no knowledge of the possibility for additional expense at that time. Mayor Landers opened the public hearing continuation at 7:16 P.M. a
