• plat review of the property into the 12 lots , as indicated. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Councilman Haik and seconded by Councilman Sundland to adopt the resolution providing for the reassessment and apportionment of certain dropped special assessments which had been previously levied against the Diamond 8 Apartments and Apache Plaza. RESOLUTION 77-039 A RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE REASSESSMENT AND APPORTIONMENT OF CERTAIN SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS PREVIOUSLY LEVIED Motion carried unanimously. The Council then considered the data which had been provided them by Mr. Fornell for making a determination of what costs should be assessed to property owners for the improvement of 29th Avenue N.E . Omar Shabez and Tom Shaeffer of T.A.P. 29th Avenue N.E. were present for the discus- sion. Consultation with the City Attorney and Acting City Manager resulted in the agreement that the percentage of the total costs which was to be assessed to the property owners would have to be determined for inclusion • in Resolution 77-040 which could be used by the Acting City Manager as a guideline for determining what the individual assessments would be. Mr. Scth answered Councilman Sauer ' s question of whether the assessment amour., through a line by line consideration of the cost elements furnished by ;- . Fornell , but Councilmen Haik and Sundland felt this was unnecessary sir_c- it was their contention that all the MSA funds received by the City for this street could be used for its reconstruction. Co:,. cilman Sundland saw the "more liberal" figure for the assessment, as projected by Mr. Fornell, as resulting in an average assessment per parcel of Ubout $1 , 436 which he said was not too far off his own estimate in 1976 of $1 , 400 . However, he could not accept using the individual curb gutter allowance figures provided, because he felt that although there were nc prior assessments for curbs and gutter recorded for some of the parcels east of Silver Lake Road, those homeowners had probably paid for the improvements through original purchase price on their homes and felt it would be fairer that all parcels along 29th should therefore be treated equally and the gross curb and gutter costs averaged out to include all parcels . Both Councilmen Haik and Sundland felt the residents on 29th deserved special treatment in assessment policy because of the heavy use of their street by other motorists . They agreed that if it were necessary to use the major portion of the MSA funds allocated to the City for the prcject, any other road construction in the community should be delayed until the reserves were built up again.
