<br />-- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Pat Klaers <br />September 19, 1994 <br />Page Three <br /> <br />5. Country Crossings has not paid their Cair share to connect stonn drainage into <br />the system flowing south to the Mississippi River. <br /> <br />There has been a change in City policy as to the funding of storm sewer <br />improvements since the time that this line was installed. At the time the line was <br />installed, the City's policy was to assess these costs out. Since that time, the City has <br />been exploring policies utilizing storm sewer impact fees, surface water management <br />fees, and possibly tax levies. The new policies have been applied to Country <br />Crossings First Addition. It should be noted that at the time that this pipe was <br />originally installed, the City funded the portion of the cost attributable to properties <br />north of County Road 30. If, in fact, there were to be an assessment to Country <br />Crossings First Addition for their fair share, this would not result in a rebate to either <br />Mississippi Oaks or Heritage Landing. It would, however, make the City whole for <br />some of the costs that they have been carrying. <br /> <br />6. <br /> <br />The stonn sewer policy change has placed Country Crossings at a competitive <br />advantage versus Heritage Landing and Mississippi Oaks. <br /> <br />In analyzing the cost of both Country Crossings and Heritage Landing, I believe the <br />results indicate quite the opposite. Heritage Landing First and Second Additions are <br />contained within a parcel property which is approximately 35.5 acres. The total <br />trunk sanitary sewer and water cost assessed to this parcel was $134,227.69. <br />Dividing this into the 86 tota110ts in the First and Second Additions, the trunk cost <br />per lot is $1,560.79. The Lakoduk property, which consists of Country Crossings <br />First Addition, is 40 acres in area and was assessed $150,860 for trunk sanitary sewer <br />and water. After park dedication, 73 lots were platted. The total cost per lot is <br />$2,066.58 for trunk improvements. Heritage Landing First Addition internal <br />improvements with overhead resulted in an assessment of $8,551. 75 per lot. Country <br />Crossings First Addition is being fmanced privately by the Developer, so it is <br />difficult to project the overhead. If you assume this same 28 % overhead that was <br />applied to Heritage Landing First Addition, the cost per lot for the internal <br />improvements being currently constructed by C. W. Houle, is $9,571.30. This is <br />after a trunk credit is applied for sanitary sewer, watermain, and storm sewer <br />constructed by the Developer in Orono Parkway. In addition to these costs on <br />Country Crossings First Addition, the development is being assessed $30 per foot for <br />the construction of Orono Parkway and is obligated to pay one-half the cost for the <br />construction of Joplin street and storm sewer from County Road 30 to Orono <br />Parkway. The other half of this cost will be paid by Country Crossings Second <br />Addition. The combination of half the cost of Joplin and $30 per foot for Orono <br />Parkway results in an additional assessment of approximately $150,000. There were <br /> <br />230/223-1905."", <br />
