COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 8, 2002 intends to split that property into four lots. He stated he wished to be fair and he felt this intent would have a significant effect on the proposed assessments on the other property owners. He assumed that the sanitary area and water main area assessment charges would remain as proposed for his property but that the City would be able to charge him for four unit and lateral charges, which he believed would reduce the total cost for the other property owners. City Engineer Studenski concurred. He provided the City Council with a copy of an alternate assessment roll showing how spreading the unit and lateral charges over 13 lots, assuming the subdivision of the southern portion of 580 Marshan Lane into four lots, would affect the assessments for the remaining property owners on Marshan Lane. He indicated the initial assessment roll, which assumed only 10 lots, was the worse case scenario. He advised the addition of three lots to this project would reduce the assessment rate for each of the other lots by approximately $1,700 to $1,900. He noted the sanitary sewer and water main area and unit charges would remain the same for all properties but the sanitary sewer and water main lateral charge Auld be reduced to reflect the additional lots. Mr. Rehbein stated he has spoken with Mr. Funkhouser, oneicipants in this petition, who has expressed an interest in perhaps splitting his lot into tw • pang to lots. He noted this would reduce the overall assessments for the other property ow s 1. Mr. Rehbein stated he is very much in favor of thi Mayor Bergeson asked if there were any other or dividable lots. Mr. Rehbein doubted that this was the case. Don Strantz, 575 Marshan Lane, stated r as : ter service available from the north of his property, however, he felt this project could he concerns of water entering his septic system. However, he indicated that he is re d .` is ` g on a fixed income. He requested confirmation that this project will likely go throw: - ` though only four of the 10 affected property owners signed the petition to move �' ct o + d. Mayor Bergeson stated if the si remaining property owners submitted a petition opposing the project, then the project would not move Forward. Mr. Strantz expressed concern for having to spend $20,000 for sanitary sewer and water to be run to his property. He stated that he opposed any changes at this time and did not support this proposed project. He expressed concern that two assessment rolls had been presented this evening and he was not certain which was the real proposal. Community Development Director Grochala noted the property located at the end of Marshan Lane had not been included in the feasibility report, however, if that property was added to the project it would be assessed as well. Mr. Strantz questioned, if the property at the end of the street was split into additional lots in the future, how would those properties be charged for this improvement.
