Separate from the assessment process resolutions listed above, one final resolution required to be passed is a no parking resolution which restricts parking to one side of the street on Industrial Boulevard. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The improvement hearing for the 2011 Street Improvement project is scheduled for this evening's City Council meeting. Please bring a copy of your feasibility report which was presented at the May 2 meeting. At the start of the public hearing I will make a presentation of the feasibility report for the residents. An informational meeting was held on May 19 for affected residents along the project to clarify and answer specific questions they had about the proposed improvements. As with previous residential reconstruction projects, the assessments in Project Area 1 are proposed on a residential unit basis. The proposed assessment rate for 2011 has increased modestly from the last reconstruction projects in 2007 and is proposed at $7,000 per residential unit. There are a number of properties on this project that are not typical single residential units. As with previous projects all town home or twin home properties are proposed to be assessed at 0.75 residential equivalents per dwelling unit. The properties along the 15` Street cul-de-sac are proposed to be assessed at a rate of 0.25 residential equivalents per dwelling unit. This results in a proposed assessment of $1,750 per unit along 15C Street which is receiving an overlay improvement. Assessments in Project Area 2 have been calculated with the total assessable costs split throughout the Industrial Park based on 50% per unit and 50% on assessable lot frontage. Estimated assessments in Project Area 2 range from $6,928 to $18,834. At the close of the public hearing, it would be appropriate for the Council to consider four resolutions: the first orders the improvement, the second approves the plans and specifications and orders the advertisement for bids. This will allow the project to bid prior to the assessment hearing. The third N:\Public Bodies\City Council\Council RCA\Agenda Packet\OG-O1-2011\Street Improvement.docx
