x It would establish the method for the City to collect payment from the <br />property owner. Payment could be made in full by the property owner <br />at the time of the project, or if they prefer, it could be added to their <br />property taxes over a set period of time with a corresponding interest <br />rate.

It would also require determination of a standard <br />cost to be charged for the driveway work. This could be expressed in terms of <br />per foot of driveway width, so that it could be applied to all situations. <br />The approach using a standard agreement could be applied to all nine projects to <br />be done within the Street and Utility Improvement Program. The standard cost <br />would simply be reviewed and updated as necessary for each project. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff is seeking input from Council with regard to the recommendations from the <br />Streets and Utilities Committee concerning non-conforming driveways. If Council <br />is in agreement with the Committee recommendations, then Staff further seeks <br />input from the Council regarding their implementation. <br />Based on the discussion at their Work Session, if Council so desires, this <br />information would be presented at an upcoming City Council meeting for formal <br />consideration of approval and direction. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Joseph R.
