PROPOSED ESTIMATED ASSESSMENTS Street Assessments In accordance with the assessment policies of New Brighton's Comprehensive Street Plan for streets reconstructed to City standards with existing concrete curb and gutter, 25% of the street surfacing and concrete curb repair costs are special assessed against the benefiting properties in the project. For this project, the proposed assessment method is the front foot basis in which a property is assessed on the assessable frontage abutting the street improved. This method has historically been used when the lot sizes greatly vary from the typical 75-foot residential lot. Parcels such as the townhomes and condominiums on Silver Lane are comprised of many individual tax parcels. The assessable frontage of the common area is multiplied by the assessment rate per foot and then divided by the number of tax parcels to come up with a per unit assessment. The apartment complexes, on the other hand, are usually one tax parcel and receive a lump sum assessment. There is approximately 1,628 lineal feet of assessable frontage on Silver Lane and 16th Avenue SW. The assessable properties are shown in green on the Project Area Map on page 9. The estimated street assessment rate for proposed Project 10-3 is: $25.00 PER ASSESSABLE FRONT FOOT (Assessment rate calculations can be found in Appendix B) Sanitary Sewer Assessments The cost of the sanitary sewer repair and sewer lateral separation at 399 Silver Lake Road (the barber shop) and 375 Silver Lake Road (the Laundromat) is proposed to be paid from the Sanitary Sewer Improvement Fund and special assessments against the two benefitting properties. It has been the City's policy to assist property owners with extraordinary costs of service repairs when the repair is difficult or excessively expensive. In this case, there is a sidewalk and retaining wall at the location of the repair which will make it more expensive than normal. The proposed cost of this work is $9,800.00. It is proposed the costs to the property owners be capped at a total of$2,500.00 which is the cost of a typical sewer repair, and the City will pay the remainder which is estimated to be $7,300.00. The estimated sanitary sewer repair assessment rate for proposed Project 10-3 is: $1,250.00 PER LOT 6
