Project 09 -01 will not be an assessment project since funds for the first sealcoating of newly constructed streets have been escrowed by the project developer for this purpose. Project 09 -10 is comprised of collector MSA streets which experience. higher project costs because of their wider pavement and need for striping and pavement markings. In addition, these streets have lower unit densities as a result of the effort made to minimize the number of accesses to these streets. This project will assess fronting properties along these streets the average sealcoating assessment for 2009 program in accordance with Assessment Policy No 10. Project 09 -08 includes a twelve unit townhouse complex on the Rum River Hills golf course which will be assessed 1.8 units (to be divided among the 12 units) according to Assessment Policy 11.The remaining projects have been aggregated by subdivision or similar lot sizes and will be assessed per unit in accordance with Assessment Policy No. 1. Table 5 of the feasibility study summarizes sealcoat project assessments are anticipated to range between $162 and $429 per property. The two overlay projects have anticipated assessments of $1,365 and $3,441 per property. It might be noted that IP 09 -11 has a usually large assessment due to the 2.5 acre lot sizes coupled with the fact that 40% of these properties are corner lots that have both streets receiving the overlay. Notice has been sent to all benefited property owners as required by City Code and Minnesota Statues Chapter 429. In addition a resident meeting on the program will be held on March 5, 2009. Staff will investigate any suggested drainage or other improvements and prepare a program to address them prior to the contract being let for the street work. Following the public hearing, the Council should direct any revisions to the feasibility study it deems necessary as a result of the comments made at the public hearing, as the feasibility study will serve as the basis for determining the work to be performed and the method in which project costs will be financed. Assuming no petitions are received from a majority of the benefited properties opposing the improvement, the Council will be asked to order the projects at the May 12, 2009 City Council meeting. It is anticipated that contracts will be awarded at the June 9, 2009 Council meeting and work will be performed during July and August. Final costs will be presented at the assessment hearing on September 22, 2009. Residents wishing to pay the assessment for the work will have until November 1, 2009 to pay the assessed amount to the City. Afterward the City will certify the assessment to Anoka County to be collected with interest on the property tax statements over the specified number of years (three years for sealcoats and ten years for overlays). Council Action: None required, unless modifications to the feasibility study are desired.
