CASE CONSIDER REQUEST OF ANOKA COUNTY TO WAIVE SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS ON TAX FORFEIT PROPERTY IDENTIFIED AS LOT 4, BLOCK 5, RODEO HILLS ESTATES (PIN: 02-32.25-23.0010) By: Mark S. Banwart, Community Development Director Background/Observations: On January 17, 1990 the City of Ramsey received a letter from Gene Rafferty, County Land Commissioner for Anoka County (letter dated January. 8, 1990). The County has asked the City to consider waiving a portion of the special assessments for the subject property. Upon further investigation by the Ramsey Finance Office, the total amount due to the City of Ramsey for special assessments for the said property is Two Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-three dollars and Twenty-three cents ($2,933.23). Furthermore, Section 282.08 of the Minnesota Statutes annotated states that public improvements/special assessments are paid first from the net proceeds of an), sale or rental of the forfeited land. A review of the characteristics of Lot 4, Block 5, Rodeo Hills Estates, shows that there, is both a drainage area in the southerly portion of the lot as well as a 150' UPA easement. The remaining portion of the lot which is not encumbered with easements or drainage needs measures approximately 200' by between 70' and 100' in width. Based on this information and an on-site inspection of the site, it has been determined by staff that the parcel is indeed buildable. However, due to the soil types existing there, soil borings and a mound type of septic system drainfield will probably be necessary. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends waiving a portion of the special assessments that are currently due and lowering the amount due to One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00). Furthermore, staff recommends that a deed restriction be placed on the property at the time of sale indicating that an), proposed development on the property must meet relevant City Code and include but not be limited to soil boring acceptance of a properly designed, on-site septic system and any type of development should not occur in any easements (including UPA). Council Action: Motion to adopt/not adopt Resolution 4/90-02- : Resolution Waiving One Thousand Four Hundred Thirty-three dollars and Twenty-three cents ($1,433.23) of City of Ramsey's special assessments for Lot 4, Block 5, Rodeo Hills Estates (PIN: 02-32-25-23-0010).
