CASE CONSIDER REQUEST OF ANOKA COUNTY TO WAIVE SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS ON TAX FORFEIT PROPERTY IDENTIFIED LOT 4, BLOCK 5, RODEO HILLS ESTATES (PIN: 02-32-25-23-0010) By: Mark S. Banwart, Community Development Direclor AS Background: 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. On February 13, 1990, the Ramsey City Council tabled this case until more information could be provided on the distribution of proceeds and on how the selling price was to be determined, for your information, the following items are enclosed: ^) B) C) Letter from the Anoka county Land Commissioner (January 8, 1990) Attachments from the Anoka County Land Commissioner (February 15, 1990) Proposed Resolution 4/90-02- : Resolution Waiving City of Ramsey's Special Assessment of One Thousand Four Hundred Thirty-three Dollars and Twenty-three cents ($1,433.23) for Property Identified as Lot 4, Block 5, Rodeo Hills Estates (PIN: 02-32-25-23-0010) Observations: Investigation by the Ramsey Finance Office reveals 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 any 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. The County of Anoka, County Land Commissioner, has indicated the following order of distribution in proceeds from the sale of tax forfeit property; pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 282.08 Apportionment of Proceeds: 1) 2) 3) 4) The average selling cost is 8% The special assessment to the City of Ramsey in the amount of $1,500.00 20% to the Anoka County Parks; and The remaining amount distributed as 40% County, 20% City and 40% School District.
