City Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 10, 1995 Page 9 1 Dr. Ferguson suggested dividing the cost of the project equally between all the homeowners as 2 this was a neighborhood project. 3 Ranallo asked if the large lot would then pay the same as a small lot. 4 Dr. Ferguson suggested that this was a neighborhood project and that all residents benefitted 5 approximately the same, depending on how they traveled. He stated it appeared the average 6 assessment was $3,200.00 and all residents should be assessed for the project. 7 Motion by Marks, second by Wager to close the public hearing at 8:07 P.M. 8 Motion carried unanimously. 9 10 In response to Ranallo, Marks reported there were five properties with assessments over 11 $4,000.00, including the water main connection fee. He stated that the assessments on the cul- 12 de-sac and Mr. Ferguson's corner lot really did seem high. 13 Wagner commented that the assessments for corner lots had been drastically reduced with the 1 new policy of 100%of short side and one-third of the long side. 15 Larry Hamer, Public Works Director, reported that the only other cul-de-sac that had been done 16 was on Croft and that was an overlay and not a reconstruct. 17 Enrooth suggested using the existing formula, but not to exceed an arbitrary number, such as 18 $3,500.00. This would be done for any assessments over$3,500.00. He stated there were five 19 such assessments. This figure could then be adjusted as needed each year. 20 In response to Ranallo, Soth stated that this would be legal to do. 21 Ranallo asked if the cul-de-sac was not to exceed $3,500.00, then would this number be adjusted 22 with each project and would it be necessary to hold public hearings on the issue. 23 Soth stated the assessments could be determined by the policy but then each individual 24 assessment could be addressed. If the policy provided a result that was not right, adjustments 25 could be made on an individual basis. He stated the council can also change the policy for future 26 projects. He stated that the difference in fees would have to come from the general fund. 27 Motion by Fleming, second by Marks to change the estimated street assessment for the Harold 28 Froehlich property, located at 3016 Armour Terrace to $3,500.00 based on the fact it is a cul-de- 29 sac. 00 Motion carried unanimously.
