Special CiW Council Meeting September 9, 1996 Page 4 7.2. Maurer explained the life of the overlay will depend on the volume of heavy vehicle traffic, but the typical life is 7 Years. Phil Hals felt it may be longer than 7 years with standard sealcoating and maintenance. Donovan Goossen, 18034 Sunrise Circle, expressed his objection to being assessed for the three vacant parcels he owns adjacent to his home. Mr. Goossen questioned if the City has an assessor who determines benefit for assessments. Terry Maurer stated that the city has a history of doing projects such as this year after year and the city does not obtain appraisals. Peter Beck explained the constitutional standard is that the property must be benefited by the amount of the assessment. Peter advised him of the procedure to file an objection. Discussion followed regarding the possibility of combining the parcels. Staff advised Mr. Goossen if he wished to combine the parcels he may wish to do so by mid-November, before the assessment is certified to Sherburne County. At that time, the assessment would be re-evaluated. Mr. Goossen was advised if he later wishes to split the parcels, he would be assessed for the improvement at that time. Mr. Goossen indicated he will contact an attorney for advice regarding whether or not to split the parcels. Mayor Duitsman advised Mr. Goossen he may wish to file a written objection tonight in order to preserve his right to appeal the assessment. Mr. Ooossen submitted a formal, written objection to the assessments. There being no further comments from the public, Mayor Duitsman closed the public hearing.
