Barrington Place Assessments - Public Hearing Mayor Hinkle indicated that the proposed assessment for the Barrington Place is contained entirely within Barrington Place, except for the Dietz property. Mr. Gary Santwire indicated that Mr. George Dietz had signed a petition for the im- provements agreeing to a $7,000 assessment, prior to the construction of the project. Mayor Hinkle then opened the public hearing. Councilman Duitsman questioned the process used in the development of the proposed assessment roll. Mr. Gary Santwire indicated that the project costs were assessed according to the appraised value of the property within the Barrington Place Planned Unit Development. Mr. Santwire further indicated that a per dwelling unit cost factor was used in determining the proposed assessment roll. Mr. Santwire further indicated that the single family lots have a higher value than the condo- minimum sites. Mr. Santwire indicated that the value of the improved land at the time of the sale was determined by both an independent appraiser and an FHA apprais- er. Mr. Santwire further indicated that the assessments on some of the parcels in the Planned Unit Development have been prepaid and therefore; are not included in the assessment roll. General discussion was carried on regarding acreage of the commercial lots and .value of the commercial lots compared to apartment building sites and single family sites.

Councilman Duitsman indicated his concern that the larger amounts are assessed to the larger commercial lots and should those lots not be developed, the assessments may not be paid. Mr. Santwire indicated that the proposed assessments are lower than in the metro area and that this will be a benefit to the sale of the property in the Planned Unit Development.
