PAUL WASECA ITEM 4.2. February 25, 1997 File: 230-320-58 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway P.O. Box 490 Elk River, MN 55330 ORONO LAKE 3RD ADDITION IMPROVEMENTS ASSESSMENT HEARING Dear Council Members: As you are aware, the assessment hearing for the proposed Orono Lake 3rd Addition improvements is scheduled for Monday, March 3, 1997. This project consists of constructing sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer improvements, along with new streets including concrete curb and gutter in this Addition. Previously, Fresno Street was upgraded with the construction of improvements in the Heritage Landing and Mississippi Oaks Additions. At that time, sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer were constructed within Fresno Street and the street was upgraded to a new urban type street with concrete curb and gutter. Assessments to the abutting properties were for street and storm drainage improvements at that time. Those property owners were told at that assessment hearing that they would not be assessed for sanitary sewer and watermain until they either chose to hook up individually, or utility improvements were constructed throughout the Orono Lake 3rd Addition. Because of the previous assessment for street and storm drainage to those properties abutting Fresno Street, the current assessment hearing will have two levels of assessment. The properties that have been previously assessed along Fresno Street are proposed to now be assessed for sanitary sewer and water improvements. That assessment was estimated at $7,500 per lot in the feasibility study, and is now proposed to be levied at $7,275 per lot. The other properties within the Addition that are receiving street and utility improvements were estimated in the feasibility study to receive an assessment of $12,500 per lot. That number has been revised lower for the assessment hearing to $12,150 per lot. At the assessment hearing on Monday evening, I will be prepared to give a brief presentation on the project scope, the determination and spreading of assessments, and be available to answer any questions the City Council or public may have.
