Ramsey, MN 55303 Re: Old County Road 5 Seal Coating Assessment Improvement Project 84-4 Dear Lloyd: I I As requested, I have reviewed the assessment role on Old County Road 5. The county half section maps show approximately a 720 foot road easement extending north from Old County Road 5. The City maps do not show this easement as a street. Therefore, in preparing the assessment role, I counted all the buildable parcels along Old County Road 5 and the extra mailboxes on the end of the road easement. I assumed that the residents along the road easement did not live on a City owned and maintained street and should be assessed for the improvement to Old County Road 5. In reviewing the assessments, Ms. Beyer and I checked the road ease- ment and found that the travelled road extended Several hundred feet beyond the road easement. Therefore, all of the parcels north of Old County Road 5 were not assessed. In reviewing the situation with Mr. Mevissen and Mr. Goodrich, Mr. Mevissen stated that the City has maintained the road easement for over 15 years. Mr. Goodrich stated that, if the road easement has been maintained as a City street, none of the parcels along that street should be assessed for Old County Road 5 improvements which is consistent with the City's assessment policy. Those parcels would be assessed at the time the road easement is improved. Therefore, the City should consider reimbursing the residents assessed along the road easement. civil · municipal · planning · soils · land surveying · landscape architecture
