November 19, 1979 Page 3 12. Xenia and 6th Street Assessment Hearing City Engineer, Lyle Swanson, reviewed final costs incurred in the Xenia Street and 6th Street improvement project with the City Council. Mr. Swanson also reviewed the method of assessment proposed for .the Xenia &: 6th Street improve- ment. Mr. Swanson indicated that the costs of the project had been assessed on the basis of 75% of total cost allocated to a front footage cost for each parcel and 25% of the total cost of the .project assessed on the basis of a per unit charge for each of the parcels benefiting. Mr. Swanson indicated that the outlot in the benefited area was not assessed a unit charge inasmuch as it is an unbuildable lot at this time. Mayor Madsen declared the public hearing open and asked any individuals present to address the Council at this time with comments regarding the assessments of Xenia and 6th Street improvements. Councilman otto indicated that he supported a combination of unit charge and front foo~i.ge assessments because of the number of odd shaped lots in the benefited area and the fact that all lots are receiving equal benefits from the construction of the road improvement. Mr. Mike Fleming and Ms. Tippy Johnson indicated that the,y were opposed to the assessment as proposed for their individual lots inas- much as the,y felt they did not benefit to the degree the,y were being assessed. There being no further comments, the Mayol' declared the public hearing closed. It was the concensus of the Council members that the assessment method combining front footage and unit assessments was indeed the most fair method fol' this particular project and that assessment based upon a 50% unit charge and 50% front footage charge was even more equitable than that Proposed by the City engineer.
