Resolution No. 2006-105: Adopt Assessments for the Phase IV Water Interconnect Protect Response to the two objecting Property Owners The City Engineer reported that he met with the two objecting property owners, Dr. Ostrander and Donald and Joan Tauer, and discussed the proposed assessments. The Ostrander assessment continues to be valid and the City Engineer recommended that it not be modified. In regard to the Tauer properties, the City Engineer reported that he is recommending the driveway easement parcel not be assessed, but that the pet cemetery be assessed as proposed since there does not appear to be any restriction as to future use. He also reported that Mr. Pechan has recently purchased 0.65 acres from the Tauers'. Because of that, the Tauer assessment would be reduced and the Pechan parcel would be increased. City Attorney Filla advised Council that since the Pechan would be increased, it will be necessary to conduct a new Public Hearing regarding his assessment alone. M/S/P Smith/Conlin — to deny the objections of Dennis Ostrander and Don Tauer based on the Findings contained in the TKDA report, to adopt Resolution No. 2006-105, approving the proposed Assessment for the Water System Interconnect Phase IV project as recommended by the City Engineer in his letter of October 13, 2006, excluding the Pechan. A new assessment hearing will be noticed for November 8, 2006, on the Walter Pechan parcel. (Motion passed 3-0) LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 17, 2006
