CITY OF RAMSEY <br />Street Maintenance Program Assessment Practices <br /> <br />(1) <br /> <br />Projects are identified by individual subdivisions, or by grouping of subdivision <br />and lots having similar pavement histories and conditions and similar pavement <br />areas per benefited unit. <br /> <br />(2) <br /> <br />An assessment share will be calculated by determining the total assessable cost of <br />the project and dividing by the number of benefited units. <br /> <br />(3) <br /> <br />Where and individual lot has more than one frontage and not all frontages are <br />scheduled to receive an improvement, or the same type of improvements, the lot <br />will be considered benefited and be assessed a full share for the improvement <br />which is conducted along the fi'ontage of the lot that contains the main driveway <br />opening. <br /> <br />(4) <br /> <br />For sealcoats and overlays the amount assessed to benefited property owner is <br />50% of the total project cost including overhead costs. (1991) <br /> <br />(5) <br /> <br />Projects involving streets which have had previous proposed maintenance projects <br />defeated by petition shall be ineligible to receive the City's 50% conthbution, if <br />the project requires a more expensive maintenance. (i.e. streets proposed for <br />sealcoating project which was defeated by citizen petition now are proposed for a <br />bituminous overlay) (1993) <br /> <br />(6) <br /> <br />Where the rule of dividing the assessable project cost by the number of benefited <br />units (no 2 above) would result in an assessable share which is grossly out of <br />proportions to the assessable share being charged to similar lots receiving similar <br />improvements, the City Council may elect to assess such lots the average <br />assessable share being made to lots receiving similar improvements for that <br />project year. (1996) <br /> <br />(7) <br /> <br />Where a benefited area contains commercial lots having widely varying sizes, the <br />assessment shall be made based on area of the lot. (2003) <br /> <br />(8) <br /> <br />Where an individual lot has more than one frontage including a driveway frontage <br />on a state or county road, and a non-driveway frontage on a MSA or city street, <br />one-half assessment share will be made for an improvement to the MSA or City <br />street. (1995) <br /> <br />(9) <br /> <br />Where an individual lot has a single frontage on an MSA street, such lots will be <br />assessed the average assessable share for the type of improvement made to non- <br />MSA streets receiving that improvement. (1992) <br /> <br />(10) <br /> <br />Whenever possible townhouse units shall be aggregated into individual projects <br />having a single land use. In instances where townhouse units must be combined in <br /> <br /> <br />
