A period of questions and answers followed: <br /> <br />Question: A resident recently had to replace their individual water service and was charged for <br /> repair of the roadway. Will they be assessed again for the roadway improvements? <br /> <br />Answer: The timing of the repair is unfortunate but the resident will be assessed for the <br />roadway improvements associated with the project. <br /> <br />Question: What is a unit considered for the assessments? <br /> <br />Answer: A single-family residence is one unit. A typical residential lot size will be <br />used as a cookie cutter over the church, school, etc to determine how many units will <br />be assessed for those properties. <br /> <br />Question: Who is responsible for replacing the water service and individual curb stop? <br /> <br />Answer: The individual homeowner is responsible. <br /> <br />Question: A resident is located at the corner of 5tn and Rush. How will assessments be handled <br /> for corner lots? <br /> <br />Answer: A comer lot will be assessed one unit. The property will be assessed when the <br />roadway is improved on either side and will not be assessed for future street <br />improvements. <br /> <br />Question: Residents questioned if5th Street could be reconstructed at this time as well. <br /> <br />Answer: The project size was determined based on a $1,000,000 project that the City <br />felt they could reasonably fund. At this time there is no plan to reconstruct 5t~ Street as <br />part of this project. <br /> <br />Question: How was the first project area chosen and what can be done to speed up the timeframe <br /> for reconstruction of a different area? <br /> <br />Answer: If a neighborhood petitioned for improvements, the City Council could decide <br />to reconstruct that area as part of subsequent projects in an earlier time frame. <br /> <br />Question: A resident asked for clarification on the prepayment period and when notice would be <br /> provided <br /> <br />Answer: A thirty day period is allowed by law after the assessment hearing to prepay <br />assessments. Formal notice will be provided for the hearing and will include <br />individualized notices with property specific information. <br /> <br />Question: A resident asked for clarification on how the assessments were being determined <br /> <br />Answer: Each residential lot will be assessed one unit unless according to zoning <br />requirements the lot could be further subdivided. <br /> <br /> <br />
