Standard street and fire service is provided to this <br />area. Police service is primarily for crimes against people, such as assaults or domestic calls. It is mainly serviced <br />by the Apple Valley commercial area on Cedar avenue. Donnay's represents what current single - family housing <br />may look like in twenty years. <br />FINDINGS: <br />Lack of upkeep appears to be a critical factor in the somewhat lower value of these homes. Their affordability is <br />obtained through accelerated devaluation of the property. The City would do well, from a fiscal standpoint, to <br />make efforts to ensure property maintenance of these areas to protect its tax base and minimize police services. <br />Special Notes: Rosemount School District No. 196 has somewhat lower levies (1990 taxes, payable 1991) than the <br />other districts which would make other areas similar to Donnay's have an even greater negative impact. <br />• <br />20 <br />
