(Motion passed 5-0.) 6. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. CSAH 13 Discussion on Assessments to benefiting property owners; call public hearing City Engineer Larry Bohrer was previously directed to prepare a sample assessment roll based upon strict application of the newly adopted assessment policy. The new assessment policy did not define "Front" or the "Front of the Lot" for assessment purposes. The City Code's definition of "front" states to use the short side of the lot. Administrator Kueffner explained that was not the intent of the policy; the intent was to not split assessments on corner lots --that a corner lot pays one assessment and that would be on the "address" side of the Lot. .
