ASSESSMENT HEARING MINUTES SEPTE.MBER 10, 1985 Page 2 acre lots on the south, but only three lots of 10 acres or more on the north because of the curve which takes up a certain amount of property. Mike Mazzara asked how does land in Green Acres affect the assessment. Bohrer answered that the assessments are deferred until such time as the land is sold or the use changes. Interest does accrue. Wynn John, 8883 Jane Rd. N., stated that the road is a definite improvement from what we had before, but that the turnaround has inadequate space. Jim Weyer, 8991 Jane Rd. N. thanks the Council for keeping this well within the budget and for this proposal of a 22 foot wide road. He would prefer 10 years at the 10% interest rate. The City Engineer discussed the installment payments of 10 and 12 percent over a five and ten year period, but City Attorney Knaak enlighted the Council that if the City pays for it out of existing funds you are limited to an 8% interest charge. The total amount of the assessment may be paid to the City of Lake Elmo prior to October 10, 1985. If not paid before October 10, 1985 the assessment will be certified to the Washington County Auditor in ten (10) equal installments, with interest accruing on the unpaid balance from January 1, 1986 at the rate of 8% per year.
