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.

Site 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. ,\AAIN 50' A \j E, Adj. Front Footage EXAMPLES Lot A-50' Lot 8-90' 9')' A l3 (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. . IVI A I 1'1 AVE. 90' 70' Adj.

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. IVIA IN AI/E. f 15<<)' +.J' \ I :':.J . / \ - / B \(-.// \ .I i rJ . . \ \ \ , A Adj.

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. ~ / LAIv~'''.. ; \ __r---........ ", ./ .....~ ~ .....,.

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. ~ lvl A , 1'-1 A 'j E.. A8 ~~ c Adj.

(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. nl Adj.

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. - 10' r,r/'I~1 r\VE.. tJjl :::1 ' rOI' :0 [:J L.
