Proper said the Sunnyside Area Street Reconstruction Project consisted of the removal of old bituminous surfacing and storm sewer and installation of storm sewer, including storm water detention basins, service stubs and sanitary sewer repair, street excavation and grading, aggregate base, concrete curb and gutter, bituminous surfacing, and boulevard repair, According to policy, 25% of the street cost is assessed, 100% of the curb cost is assessed on streets with no existing curb, and 50% of the curb cost is assessed on streets with existing bituminous curb. The street portion is assessed against the benefiting properties, That portion of street cost not assessed is paid through a City-wide tax, Proper said the project received a good bid which was below estimate. The subject properties are proposed to be assessed on a per lot basis for street, curb and gutter, lots with existing bituminous curb, like Rainbow lane, received a 50% curb credit, Streets with existing curb are assessed $1,267.20 per lot; Rainbow Lane was assessed $965.21 per lot. The storm sewer assessment rate is $1,700.58 per acre. Water service stubs were installed to four vacant lots and assessed at $829.23 per lot, The total cost of the repairs made to sanitary sewer mains was $4,005.50 and will be paid from the City's Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund, Ted Smith, 2005 Longview, noted assessment cost variations throughout the area. Proper said that because the Sunnyside area lots are the same size, staff divided the number of lots to determine the street assessment, with one correction made for Rainbow lane, Storm sewer assessments vary according to lot drainage and some lots were assessed under the Long Lake Road Project, Mr. Smith said his backyard drains into sand, not into the street, Proper said some lots drain to different areas and are not entirely assessed under the project, According to calculations, Mr. Smith's front yard was used to calculate his drainage assessment, not the backyard.
