• Assessments will be made to benefitting properties as each phase is constructed,
<br /> • Three standard methods of assessments were analyzed including: Frontage,Area, and Per Lot.
<br /> • The City's existing assessment policy very closely matches the Frontage method, and
<br /> • Gross acreage was used in lieu of net developable acreage in the calculations below.
<br /> • Lot 6 was assessed by the short side of the lot. Lots 9 and 10 abut Armstrong Boulevard, a
<br /> County roadway, and will access off of Bunker Lake Boulevard. Lot 7 abuts a portion of the Puma
<br /> Street right of way that is anticipated to be vacated. Lots 1, 3 and 4 abut Alpine Drive, but access
<br /> will be limited to Puma Street.
<br /> The table below depicts a distribution based on all costs being assessed to the benefitting properties.
<br /> We have assumed for this analysis the costs would be assessed to properties benefitting from each
<br /> phase of construction. For instance, properties directly benefitting from Phase 1 improvements would
<br /> be assessed for Phase 1 costs at the time of Phase 1 improvements. Some lots benefit from more than
<br /> one phase of construction and would be assessed as future phases are constructed.
<br /> Calculations were based on the areas and front footages (shown on page 12), along with the costs per
<br /> phase (shown on page 10).Trunk sanitary sewer and trunk watermain were considered City costs and
<br /> were not included in the calculations. For comparison, a summary of the unit costs used in the
<br /> calculations is presented below:
<br /> Frontage Area Per Lot
<br /> Method Method Method
<br /> Phase (Cost/FF) (Cost/Acre) (Cost/Lot)
<br /> 1 $ 462.89 $42,685.11 $ 596,700
<br /> 2 $ 742.27 $ 37,489.38 $ 544,400
<br /> 3 $ 594.51 $ 19,492.66 $ 497,800
<br /> Based on the above cost distribution, the potential assessments per lot per phase is depicted below:
