Consideration of Lois Carton Assessment Cancellation <br /> The City Administrator indicated that Ms. Lois Carton owns two parcels of <br /> land that have received .t, special assessment for sewer interceptor. He <br /> noted that one parcel is 11 acres and does not have any buildable ground <br /> on it. <br /> Councilmember Schuldt suggested that the assessment be deferred and <br /> assessed later if the lot is developed. <br /> Ms. Carton stated that she would like the assessment forgiven, not <br /> deferred, as it is unfair to be assessed for property without receiving <br /> benefit. She indicated she did complain at the time the land was being <br /> assessed, however, no one from the City came to look at the land at that <br /> time. <br /> The City Attorney stated that he would have to check the statutes as the <br /> proper appeal procedure was not followed. <br />
