MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUN <br />FROM: CLERK -ADMINISTRATOR <br />DATE: JUNE 22, 1987 <br />SUBJECT: 2609 COUNTY ROAD I <br />In 1986 the property located at 2609 County Road I was <br />subdivided into two lots. Past practice of the City has <br />been that when a corner lot is subdivided along the long <br />side, asssessments are reapportioned for water and sewer <br />service to the <br />me that the <br />subdivision was napproved, Uthe rei <br />reapportionmentofassessments <br />was not undertaken and the lot has since been sold by the <br />original owner as evidenced by her response to our June 8, <br />1987 correspondence, copy attached. <br />After receiving the response from the original owner, staff <br />contacted City Attorney Meyers and determined that the only <br />way to handle this issue at this time would be to have a <br />special assessment hearing held by the City Council which <br />would then allow levying of the $1,300.05 in assessments on <br />this new parcel. Staff has given serious consideration to <br />this issue and would recommend against undertaking an <br />assessment hearing for this matter for the following <br />reasons: <br />1. The reapportioned assessments were not levied <br />on this property at the time of subdivision as <br />a result of staff error. <br />Receipt of these additional assessments is not <br />critical nor necessary to guarantee the pay off <br />of the original assessments for the water and <br />sewer projects as both of these have been <br />retired through the recent defeasance program. <br />The leying of assessments on the new owners of <br />the property would be an unexpected expense as <br />they purchased the property with the clear <br />understanding that water and sewer service would <br />be available to them. <br />Your direction on this matter would be appreciated. <br />DPP/mjs <br />Attachment: <br />
