that the cost of a Street Reconstruction be recovered by the adjusted front footage method (Chapter 202, Section 202.09, Subdivision 2a). Making this revision would give the City Council more flexibility in assigning assessment for roadway major maintenance projects. Staff is proposing an alteration of the existing ordinance 202.09, subdivision 2a and 2b to the following: 202.09: APPORTIONMENT OF COST: Section 202.09, Subd. 2 Improvement Type and Apportionment of Cost: a. Street Reconstruction Including Curb and Gutter: The cost of street reconstruction shall be recovered by either the adjusted front footage method or the unit assessment method. The front footage rate shall be determined by dividing the project cost by the total number of adjusted front feet in the project area. The assessments per adjusted front foot may vary depending on the underlying zoning of a parcel. Assessments for residential properties which are on collector or arterial streets (MSA, county road) shall be assessed for one hundred percent (100%) of the pavement surface and base, up to a width of twenty six (26) feet, equally divided by both sides of the street. This amount shall not exceed fourteen dollars and sixty cents ($14.60) per front foot. (Ord. 654, 2-14-00) The City shall develop a financing policy for assigning cost associated with street reconstruction projects, and as required by State Statute, will conduct the necessary Public Improvement Hearings and Assessment Hearings. b. Street Resurfacing: Street resurfacing is commonly known and referred to as street overlaying whereby a new bed of road material such as bituminous is installed over an existing paved road to a specific thickness. Assessments shall be determined by either the unit assessment method or the adjusted front footage method at one hundred percent (100%) to properties on both sides of the street. A mill and overlay to an existing paved road will be assessed by the adjusted front footage method at one hundred percent (100%) percent to properties on both sides of the street. A recycle and overlay to an existing paved road will be assessed by the adjusted front footage method at one hundred percent (100%) to properties on both sides of the street. Assessments will be based on physical project costs plus engineering, administration costs, ROW expenditures and other related project costs. The method of rehabilitation or resurfacing shall be determined by the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of the combined segments of the streets considered for the project. (Ord. 654, 2-14-00) The City shall develop a financing policy for assigning cost associated with street resurfacing projects, and as required by State Statute, will conduct the necessary Public Improvement Hearings and Assessment Hearings.
