These are the <br />utility improvements planned to serve Elk Park Center plus the Oak Pare and Hillside Estates <br />areas on the east side of TH 169. In addition, a portion of the School District property <br />between School Street and the south plat line of Elk Park Center will be served by these <br />improvements. <br /> <br />Since these improvements will serve a larger area than the immediate Elk Park Center <br />development, a public hearing is necessary in order to assess properties outside of the plat <br />boundary. We have met with Mr. Rick Foster throughout the design of these improvements, <br />since he is the developer of the Hillside Estates addition and also involved in the Oak Pare <br />development on the east side ofTH 169. It is our understanding that he does not currently <br />own all the property in the future phases of Hillside Estates. Portions of this property are <br />still in the ownership of Everett Spect. Jerry Hagen was also notified of this hearing since <br />he is the owner of record of the Oak Pare property south of 193rd on the east side of <br />TH 169. It should be noted that Mr. Spect will have the opportunity to apply for green acres <br />status deferral until such time that his property is developed by Mr. Foster. This should <br />minimize or eliminate any hardship this assessment may cause to Mr. Spect. <br /> <br />This is the public hearing for the improvement process. At a future date an assessment <br />hearing will also need to be held. It is not necessary at this particular time that the City <br />Council deal specifically with the assessment rates. We are currently analyzing bids and the <br />various costs associated with trunk sanitary sewer and water improvements throughout the <br />City. We have been discussing this issue with Mr. Foster since he has raised a concern <br />about the current assessment rate. Staff will be prepared to make a recommendation to the <br />City Council in the near future, prior to establishing a date for the assessment hearing on this <br />particular project. <br /> <br />"l.C'lM( _ftP <br />
