He read the proposed changes to Section 1, Subdivision <br /> 2 of the ordinance as follows: <br /> a. The cost of street reconstruction shall be recovered by the adjusted front footage <br /> method. The front footage rate shall be determined by dividing the project cost by <br /> the total number of adjusted front feet in the project area, times the individual <br /> adjusted front footage x one-half(%2). The assessments per adjusted front foot may <br /> vary depending on the underlying zoning of a parcel. Assessments for residential <br /> properties,which are on collector or arterial streets, (MSA) shall be assessed for <br /> percent of the pavement surface equally divided by both sides of the street. <br /> a.l. Residents requesting Curb and Gutter installation on a construction project will <br /> be assessed percent of the total cost of the Curb and Gutter, which will <br /> include engineering,additional removals,base and all other associated expenses. <br /> a.2. percent of the turn back funds received from Ramsey County will be <br /> applied to the new construction or pavement cost of the road that was received. <br /> b. Assessments shall be determined by the adjusted front footage method at <br /> percent to properties on both sides of the street. A mill and overlay to an <br /> existing paved road will be assessed by the adjusted front footage method at <br /> percent, to properties on both sides of the street. A recycle and overlay <br /> to an existing paved road will be assessed by the adjusted front footage method <br /> at percent to properties on both sides of the street. <br /> c. Sidewalks are generally installed on the City's major streets,which will connect <br /> several neighborhoods and community attractions in a logical pattern. <br /> e.
