<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />October 14, 1997 <br /> <br />Page 9 <br /> <br />Council Business. continued <br /> <br />Proper presented a change of special assessment rates against properties at 749 and 750 <br />22nd Ave. NW, Project 96-1, Street Reconstruction. Previously, Sid McCashew, 740 <br />22nd Ave., stated these lots have existing concrete curb and should be assessed at the <br />existing concrete curb rate. In 1969, concrete curb was installed in front on these lots to <br />complete the 22nd Ave. cul-de-sac. The previous owners allowed the cul-de-sac to <br />encroach in exchange for not being assessed for concrete curb. The former owner <br />verified that the City agreed not to special assess these lots. Staff concluded the lots <br />have paid for concrete curb by allowing the cul-de-sac encroachment and should be <br />special assessed at the existing concrete curb rate of $671 .10. <br /> <br />Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Rebelein, to DIRECT STAFF TO CHANGE <br />THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AGAINST THE LOTS AT 749 AND 750 22ND <br />AVE NW TO THE EXISTING CONCRETE CURB RATE OF $671.10 PER LOT; <br />AND WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION PROVIDING <br />FOR ASSESSMENTS AGAINST THE LOTS LOCATED AT 740 AND 750 22ND <br />AVENUE NW FOR PROJECT 96-1, STREET RECONSTRUCTION. <br /> <br />5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. <br /> <br />Benke noted some policy concerns with Report 97-218, Authorization to continue certain <br />benefits to a restructured Park position, and asked the item be deferred to a later <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Motion by Benke, seconded by Larson, to DEFER THE AUTHORIZATION TO <br />CONTINUE CERTAIN BENEFITS TO A RESTRUCTURED PARK'S POSITION <br />TO A LATER COUNCIL MEETING, AND REQUEST STAFF TO COORDINATE <br />A POLICY DISCUSSION ON RELATED ISSUES. <br /> <br />5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. <br /> <br />The City received notice from Neal Krick, 3195 - 21st Ln. NW. He is selling his home <br />and a title search found that a portion of the attached garage is located over an easement. <br />Over 25 years ago, the City received a survey and building permit to build the home. <br />The survey did show an easement, but did not display the utility easement along one side <br />of the property. Based on the survey, a permit was issued and construction began. The <br />garage encroaches onto an easement which has a deep sewer pipe. Moving the sewer <br />line is possible, but may involve property condemnation and become a very costly <br />process. The buyer does not want to assume any risks involved with the easement. If <br />Krick has a basis for recovery, that information needs to be submitted to the City's <br />insurance company. Proper said there is a remote possibility the sewer may need major <br />repairs in the future. <br /> <br />Krick said 0.2 ft. of the garage resides over the easement. Benke feels that because the <br />garage is attached to the house, the encroachment is more involved. Rebelein added that <br />the pipe's deepness may involve a greater portion of the garage. Krick said the City <br />could provide a variance which would allow for a portion to be abandoned. Benke <br />questioned whether a variance would satisfy the mortgage company or buyer. <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Special Assessment <br />Rates against <br />Properties at 749 and <br />750 22nd Ave. NW <br />Report 97-230 <br />Resolution 97-078 <br /> <br />Restructured Park <br />Position <br />Report 97-218 <br /> <br />Neal Krick Easement <br />
