ORDINANCE NO. 600
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 202, SECTION 202.09 OF THE
MOUNDS VIEW MUNICIPAL CODE VIEW ENTITLED "PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS"
The City of Mounds View ordains:
SECTION I Chapter 202.09,Subd 2 of the Mounds View
Municipal Code is amended to read:
Subd.2 Improvement Type and Apportionment of Cost:
a. Street Reconstruction Including Curb and Gutter.
The cost of street reconstruction shall be recovered by
the adjusted front footage 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 x the individual adjusted front footage x one-half
(V2). 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 shall be adjusted so that
the amount of the assessment shall be the same as if the
project were constructed to residential street standards.
The remaining cost shall be recovered by means of the
general ad valorem property tax paid by the entire
community or by other funds that may become available to
the City for infrastructure cost recovery.
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 the adjusted front
footage method.
c. Sidewalk. Sidewalk improvements may be done in
conjunction with a street reconstruction or as a separate
proj ect. In any event, cost of sidewalk improvements
shall be recovered by means of the general ad valorem
property tax paid by the entire community or by other
funds that may become available to the City for
infrastructure cost recovery.
.
d. Sealcoating. Sealcoating, patching and cracksealing
are considered general maintenance activities and the
expenses of such acts will be paid for by ad valorem
property tax or any other funds available to the City at
that time.
e. Sanitary Sewer and Water Mains. Repair and
replacement of sewer or water mains is usually done in
conjunction with a street reconstruction project and the
cost of this work should be included as part of the total
major street project cost and should also be considered
to be included in the rate assessed for street
reconstruction. If it is determined that the repair and
replacement work results in a greater benefit to some
properties and not to others, the Council should consider
establishing a different assessment rate based on the
benefits received.
.
f. Sanitary Sewer and Water Trunk Improvements. Trunk
sewer and water mains are usually designed to carry
larger volumes of flow than are necessary within an
immediate property area in order to serve additional
properties beyond the area of their immediate placement.
Therefore, 100 percent (100%) of the cost of trunk
improvements will be assessed on a unit basis to all
properties within a district deemed to be benefitted from
the trunk improvements.
g. Sewer and Water Services. Individual sewer and
water services benefit only the properties they serve and
100 percent (100%) of their cost shall be assessed to the
property for which they are installed.
.
h. Drainage Improvements. Storm drainage and
ponding/basin systems are usually constructed to serve a
specific drainage or "watershed" district. The cost of
dL ainage iILtpl: OverLLellt.5 sllall be OIle half (/~) assessed.
These drainaGe districts have trunk lines, which are
larGe diameter pipes that transport larGe volumes of
water from one or more drainaGe districts. Property
within drainaGe districts that would receive benefit from
a trunk storm sewer, would be assessed a unit amount of
$400.00 per lot for a sinGle family residential lot. This
amount would be determined and adiusted annually by
resolution usinG the EnGineerinG News Record (ENR).
Multifamily housinG lots that exceed 1/3 acre would be
assessed based on the number of acres, multiplied by the
unit cost of $1,200.00 per acre. Commercial/Industrial
property would be assessed based on the number of acres
that are determined to benefit from the trunk line
.
multiplied bv the unit cost of $1,200.00 per acre to a
maximum amount of three (3) acres or $3,600.00. The
remaining cost will be paid for by the Surface Water
Utility and/or by an ad valorem property tax paid by the
entire conununity or by other funds that may become
available to the City for infrastructure cost recovery.
Should a prolect be initiated on a particular street that
requires storm sewer laterals which would be connected to
the trunk lines, the Surface Water Utility would fund
these expenses. StonLl sewe:r :reCOl.tst:r uctior.t l.tonLlally takes

specific iILtp:roveILLel.tts would be assessed at a or.te half (%)
:rate, to tbe bel.tefittir.tg p:roperties.
.
I. Special Conditions. Special consideration shall be
given to the "age" of a street or utility system when
determining the proportion of cost to be assessed to
benefitted properties. If it is necessary to reconstruct
or resurface a street or perform major repair/replacement
work on sewer and water utilities, before a reasonable
amount of time (10 to 12 years for resurfacing, 12 to 17
years for partial reconstruction and 17 to 25 years for
total reconstruction) the assessment shall be calculated
on a pro-rated basis. The remaining cost shall be
recovered by means of the general ad valorem property tax
paid by the entire conununity or by other funds that may
become available to the City for infrastructure cost
recovery.
Section II. Chapter 202.09 Subd 3 of the Mounds View Municipal
Code is amended to Read:
Subd.3 METHODS OF ASSESSMENT
.
a. The nature of an improvement determines the method
of assessment. The objective is to choose an assessment
method which will arrive at a reasonable, fair and
equitable assessment which will be uniform upon the same
class of property within the assessed area. The most
frequently recognized assessment methods are: the unit
assessment, the front footage assessment and the area
assessment. Depending upon the individual project, any
one or a combination of these methods may be utilized to
arrive at an appropriate cost distribution. City staff
will consider all methods and weigh their applicability
to the project and present a reconunendation to the City
Council in the form of a mock assessment roll (or rolls) .
A description of each assessment and its corresponding
policy application is presented. A separate section
.
(Section III) will identify the appropriate matchup of
method with a specific type of project and analyze why
each is generally used.
The purpose of assessment formulas is to allocate
assessed costs among benefitted properties, the formula
should result in a allocation of assessments which is
reasonably related to the benefit received. Anyone
predetermined formula will not be appropriate in all
cases because of circumstances unique to the relationship
between the specific project and the specific properties
benefitted. when considering an assessment method or
formula for any given pr9ject, it may be necessary to
combine assessment methods or to modify the methods
described below. Therefore, the following description of
methods of assessments should be regarded as guidelines,
which may not be appropriate in all cases.
.
b. Unit Assessment. A unit assessment shall be derived
by dividing the total proj ect cost by the number of
Residential Equivalent Density (RED) units in the project
area. A RED unit is defined as a single family
residential unit. All platted and unplatted property will
assigned RED unit values equivalent to the underlying
zoning. When the existing land use is less than the
highest and best permitted use, the Council may consider
the current use as well as the full potential of land use
in determining the appropriate number of RED units.
Otherwise, the following RED chart will apply on a per
unit basis, subject to adjustment by the Council for any
inequities:
Single Family
Duplex
Condominium
Multifamily (3 units or more)
Townhouse
Commercial
Industrial
1.00 RED
1.00 RED
0.80 RED
0.80 RED
0.80 RED
2.00 Units
2.00 Units
The unit approach has proven to be the best method in
those instances whereby the improvement largely benefits
everyone to the same degree and the cost of the
improvement is not generally affected by parcel size.
.
c. Area Assessment. The assessable area shall be
expressed in terms of the number of acres or the number
of square feet subject to assessment. When determining
the assessable area, the following considerations will be
given:
.
(1) ponding Assessment Consideration. Lakes, ponds
and swamps may be considered a part of the assessable
area of a parcel.
(2) Road Right-of-Way Assessment Consideration. Up to
20 percent (20%) of the gross acreage may be deducted for
street right-of-way purposes within unplatted parcels of
five acres or more depending upon the parcel
configuration and is only applicable to single family
residential use. Parcels of less than five acres may not
qualify and may be assessed full acreage. The reason for
this size restriction is that, in most instances, parcels
of less than five acres cannot support an internal public
road system.
(3) Park Dedication Assessment Consideration. When
park land is dedicated as part of a residential
development, as required by Subdivisions Code - Chapter
1204.02, the developer shall not be assessed an acreage
charge on the portion of land dedicated.
.
d. Front Footage Assessment. The actual physical
dimensions of a parcel abutting an improvement (ie.,
street, sewer, water, etc.) will generally not be
construed as the frontage utilized to calculate the
assessment for a particular parcel. Rather, an "adjusted
front footage" will be determined. The purpose of this
method is to equalize assessment calculations for lots of
similar size. Individual parcels by their very nature
differ considerably in shape and area. The following
procedures will apply when calculating adjusted front
footage. The selection of the appropriate procedures will
be determined by the specific configuration of the
parcel. All measurements will be scaled from available
plat and section maps and will be rounded down to the
nearest V2 foot dimension with any excess fraction
deleted.
e. Categorical type descriptions are as follows:
Standard Lots
Rectangular variation Lots
Triangular Lots
Cul-de-sac Lots
Curved Lots
Irregularly Shaped Lots
Corner Lots
Flag Lots
Double Frontage Lots
.
.
(1) Standard Lots. In this instance, the adjusted front footage for rectangular
lots will be the actual front footage of the lot. The frontage measured shall
be the lot width at the front lot line.

EXAMPLES

(2) Rectangular Variation Lots. For a lot which is approximately rectangular
and uniform in shape, the adjusted front footage is computed by averaging
the front and back sides of the lot. This method is used only where the
divergence between front and rear lot lines is 20 feet or less.

(3) Triangular Lots. For a triangular shaped lot, the adjusted front footage is
computed by averaging the front and back lot lines. The measurement at
the back lot line shall not exceed a maximum distance in depth of 150 feet.

(4) Cul-de-Sac Lots. The adjusted front footage for those lots that exist on cul-
de-sacs will be calculated at the midsection of the lot at the most
reasonably defined and determinable position. This line will be computed by
connecting the midpoints of the two side lot lines. Or, if the lots are similar
in nature and configuration, a common lot width, such as the standard set
back of 30' may be assigned based upon an evaluation of typical lots within
the subdivision.
Curved Lots. In certain situations such as those where lots are located
along meandering trail system streets, read patterns create curvilineal
frontages. In such instances, the adjusted front footage will' be the width
of the lot measured at the mi~point of the shortest side lot line.

(6) Irregularly Shaped Lots. In many cases, unplatted parcels that are legally
described by a metes and bounds description are irregular and odd
shaped. The adjusted front footage will be calculated by measuring the
lot width at the 30 foot building setback line.

(7) Corner Lots
(a) On a corner lot, 100 percent (100%) of the adjusted front footage
of the short side will be assessed and 25 percent (25%) of the adjusted
front footage of the long side will be assessed for improvements
benefitting the respective sides. The length of the property sides and not
the orientation of the principal building shall determine adjusted front
footage in this case. A series of lots (two or more) under common
ownership shall be considered as one parcel or lot for determining which
is the short or long side of a property. However, this shall only apply to
series of lots on which only one principal building is situated.

(b) General Commercial Zoned Corner Lots. No allo'v'v'ance relief '",ill be
granted because of the higher inherent property value associated with
improved traffic frontage and greater visibility along business district
and industrial parI< intersections. The adjusted front footage shall be the
entire frontage measured along the setback line comprising the building
envelope of the side of the lot immediately abutting the improvement.

8. Flag Lots. Properties which utilize a narrow private easement or
maintain ownership of access to their property exceeding a minimum
length of 125 feet, thereby having a small frontage on a street, will be
assigned an adjusted front footage of 75 feet. This dimension is consistent
with the subdivision ordinance which prescribes such length as the
minimum lot frontage along a public roadway. The adjusted front footage
for flag lots whose driveway access is under 125 feet will be measured at
the building setback line from the access terminus.

d. Front Footage Assessment.. The actual
physical dimensions of a parcel .abu~ingan
improvement (ie., street, sewer, water, etc.)
will generally l)ot be construed as the frontage
utilized. to calculate the assessment for' a
particular parcel. Rather, an "adjusted front
footage" will be determined. The. pUfTlose of
this method Is to equalize assessment
.calcuiations for lots of similar size. Individual
. parcels by their very nature differ consider8bly
in shape and area. The following procedures
willappiy when calculating adjusted front
footage,' The selectiorloftheappropriate
procedures will be determined' by the specific
. configuration of the parcel, All measurements
. will bE!. scaled from available plat and section
maps and will.be rou"ded down 'to the nearest
1(2 . foot dimension with any .excess fraction
deleted.
