includ{i crack sealing costs, City patching and street preparation costs and overhead costs. As suc a, die total cost of the project identified for a particular subdivision may exceed the amour; ofkhe escrow deposited by the developer. There is one such case within the 1992 streetl rol~, am, Project g92-09, the Northfork Developments. I am proposing that in such cases;, ' ,th¢~developers escrow be applied towards the total project cost, and that the differe ace be subject to assessment under the City's 50-50 share policy. [ Rieht ito modify assessment procedure in unusual circumstances: While the City's as~esS~er~ polity appears to w-ork well in the majority of the applications, there will be cireunista~aces where application of the guidelines will result in unusual and inequitable assesS,lne~s. The 1992 program involves one such case; Project g92-05 Old County Road #5. A~lhe~ence to our policy would result in a $299.00 per parcel assessment to each of the nine l~,gal ~lot fronting on the roadway. In addition, one individual owns three parcels and would!thei'efore be responsible for an assessment of almost $900.00 even though he has only o~le ~omestead and one of his parcels appears to be unbuildable because it is occupied by we ilan~l. In addition, this particular piece of road provides sole access for a number of reside tts ,~ho have frontage along an intersecting gravel road which obviously will not be includ 'xl iff the program. In such cases, it is my recommendation that we assess benefitting prope: ty an average assessment determined as the weighted average of all individual assestme~tts within the particular years program. In this instance, this would mean assess ing'~he owners $119.00 each. AssesSments on MSA streets: An MSA Maintenance Fund will be applied cover the total cost ~f th~ project on MSA Streets. However, a number of property owners have direct acces~ ohio MSA streets and are therefore benefitted by the improvement. It would seem only ~ ~hat such persons contribute similar to other benefitted properties within the City. The t~tal amount of funds the City attains from the State for MSA maintenance is limited. Thus ~using these funds for maintenance projects will reduce the amount available for conSt!'ucdon projects. In the 1992 program, it is proposed that individuals having driveway}access to MSA streets be assessed an average assessment of $119.00. This will generate approximately $2261.00 in additional revenue for the program. Review Checklist: ~ City Engine~ City AdminiStrator Finance Offi~cr Project Manager RB: 02/1 [/92
