The following special considerations as they relate to determining assessment rates should be addressed when <br />developing a draft Special Assessments Policy for the City of Ramsey. <br />• Property classification /zoning <br />• Property size /density (large lots vs. small lots) <br />• Property shape /configuration <br />• Corner /double fronting properties <br />• Subgrade correction costs <br />• Rural to urban street conversion <br />• Front footage versus per unit rate application <br />Staff will discuss each of these considerations, as well as others, in detail during the meeting. <br />Funding Source: <br />The majority of a draft Special Assessments Policy can be developed in -house as part of Staffs daily duties. <br />However, the City Attorney would need to review the draft policy once it's complete, and some assistance from <br />consultants may be required to prepare special graphics, but these costs should be minimal. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the Public Works Committee make a formal recommendation to the City Council to direct <br />staff to work with the Public Works Committee to develop a draft Special Assessments Policy for the City of <br />Ramsey to clearly define how special assessments are to be levied against properties benefiting from various types <br />of City improvement projects. <br />Action: <br />Motion recommending that the City Council direct staff to work with the Public Works Committee to develop a <br />draft Special Assessments Policy for the City of Ramsey to clearly define how special assessments are to be levied <br />against properties benefiting from various types of City improvement projects. <br />LMC SA Policy Model <br />LMC SA Guide <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Grant Riemer Grant Riemer 05/15/2014 10:36 AM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 05/15/2014 01:31 PM <br />Form Started By: Bruce Westby Started On: 04/29/2014 12:57 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 05/15/2014 <br />
