ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The 2006 Overlays Project has been completed and the total project costs are known. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 429 the council has declared the amount to be assessed against the benefiting properties and the hearing on the proposed assessment for these improvements has been ordered.

The final assessment hearing will be conducted on October 11, 2007, and if passed the final assessment roll will be certified to the county auditor by November 30, 2007. The city’s assessment policy on street improvement projects is to assess each property uniformly, according to zoning classification. The assessment rate is held consistent year to year, with only an adjustment for inflation. For this project, all properties are zoned R1 (SDR), and have a proposed assessment rate of $1,309.00 per buildable lot. There are 42 assessable units on this project. The total cost of the improvements will be $204,150.00; with the city cost participation in the amount of $149,172.00 and the amount assessed against benefited property owners is $54,978.00. The street improvement project included resurfacing streets with a bituminous overlay for Irvin Court, Irvin Circle, Isle Avenue, Ivy Court, and Jamaca Court.
