Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />R£: ASSESSMENT RATE INCREASES <br />Dear Mr. Klaers: <br />P 0 2 <br />**ITEM 5.4.** <br />In reviewing the City's Assessment Manual, it has come to my attention that it has been <br />quite some time since the Ciry Council Iasi passed a resolution setting assessment rates fi7r <br />street and storm drainage improvements. According to the Assessment Manual, the rates <br />are set by Ciry Council resolution. The rates were Iasi increased over two years ago. 'That <br />increase set the rates at $27.00 per foot for residential and $30.00 per foot far commercial <br />and industrial. The rate for storm sewer was set at $8.04 per foot. <br />Attached for your consideration is a draft resolution which seas the street assessrttent rate <br />of residential property at $30.00 per assessable front foot, and for commercial, industrial, <br />and all other types of property, the rate is $35.00 per assessable front foot. This resolution <br />also deals with storm drainage improvements and sets that rate at $12.00 per front foot. <br />The large percentage increase in this rate is recommended because of the policy change in <br />the method of funding trunk storm drainage. The Storm Sewer Impact fee is only collected <br />from developing property. So, in most cases, the Iateral assessment rate is all a property <br />will pay for storm sewer. <br />If you have any questions regarding the attached resolution, please call. <br />Sincerely, <br />MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br />~ ~~~~~~ <br />Terry J: aurer, P.E. <br />TJM:tw <br />Attachment <br />031-2702.sep <br />
