I I I I I I I. Mr. Goodrich stated that the City should limit the time that would occur if Council decides to defer, to a certain period of years based on the life and value of the proposed street. Mr. Merlin Hunt stated that as he understands it, both the City's appraiser and his appraise agree that considering present zoning laws, paved streets would not benefit the Hunt property. If the City places an assessment on the property, it implies that the City feels the proposed improvement adds some value to the property. Mr. Hunt stated that the road is of no monetary value whether the Hunts plat and sell or continue to use for agricultural purposes. City Attorney Goodrich replied that the appraisal the City obtained does not agree, that if the property were platted into lots and access was provided to 167th, then the paved streets would be of some benefit. Councilmember Reimann agreed that the only way the Hunt propert~ would benefit by the street improvement would be at the time of Platting and that the Hunt's should not be assessed for the improvement until that time. City Engineer Raatikka'stated that the Council can delete the improvement project. -' Councilmember Sorteberg"s~ated that the assessment roll would be down to 3 if the Hunt property is deleted.and the City is already proposing to pick up 2/3 of the project cost. Councilmember Sorteberg stated that the road definitely needs improving but the City will have to figure out a different method to pay for it. City Engineer Raatikka stated that if State Aid funds are used the road would have to be brought up to State standards. i I Motion by Councilmember Schlueter and seconded by Councilmember Sorteberg to delete Street Improvement Project ~83-2 (167%hAvenue NWand Jaspar Street NW).
