I I I Council Meeting Minutes February 23, 1993 Page 4 Public Hearina. continued All streets will be constructed to a 32 ft width and no new right-of~way is needed. There will be some minimal grade adjustments to improve surface drainage where necessary. A new storm sewer is proposed for 2nd St and 3rd St. in the Mork Campion area. The existing 42 inch storm sewer on 4th St between 11 th Ave and Old Hwy 8 may need to be replaced with a 48 inch storm sewer. However, staff is looking into alternate ways to divert parts of the pole yard drainage areas to other systems. Residents will be kept informed of construction activities and schedules. The total cost for the street improvement is $674,000. In accordance to City policy, 25% of the street surfacing and curb and gutter replacement costs is special assessed against the benefiting properties on a per lot basis. Corner lots that have their short side on a street being reconstructed will be assessed. The lots with existing curbing will pay 50% of curb costs, rather than 100%. There are 174 assessable lots, and the Oak Grove Mobile Home Park will be assessed for 26 residential lots. The storm sewer assessment rate would be $2,960 per acre. The City would pay for 75% of the cost through a city wide tax and special assess 25% against benefiting lots. The project will be completed in November 1993. Benke asked if the replacement of the 42 inch storm sewer is included in the project cost. Rutherford said this cost is not included in the project because staff is still investigating other alternatives. Lee Brabeck, 711-~9th Ave, asked if his double wide lot will be assessed as two lots. Rutherford verified he will be assessed for only one lot. Mr. Brabeck asked if the street assessment could be charged on a per foot basis, not by lot size. Rich Armigast, 742-6th Ave, is in the process of selling this lot to a prospective buyer and asked the legal responsibilities for payment of the assessment. City Attorney Charlie LeFevere explained that the payment arrangements for the pending assessments will need to be worked out between the buyer and seller. John Betger, 757-~7th Ave, verified that his lot will be treated as one lot. Scott Anderson, 301--11th Ave, asked for clarification of a corner lot assessment. Benke said that a corner lot is assessed on its shorter side. Peter Woodstrand, 330--11th Ave, asked if his lot will be assessed for storm sewer. Rutherford verified it will not be assessed for storm sewer. Public Hearing Project 92-8 Reconstruction Report 93-053A Resolution 93~026
