The information presented in Table A would benefit 100 <br />properties. Therefore, the average cost per unit for each element is readily apparent. A primary <br />decision is what type o f subsidy, i f a ny, should b e offered a s a n incentive for improving d irt <br />streets to a (a) well drained gravel road or (b) a paved street. If a subsidy incentive is offered, of <br />what should it consist? Some consideration might be: <br /> <br />(1) <br /> <br />Set a cap on the special assessment to an individual property. In staff's opinion <br />Capping special assessments at an amount sufficiently high to defend against <br />complaints from past residents who did not receive City assistance. Bison Street, <br />Hedgehog Street, Jackel Street, and 164th Lane have all been paved within the last <br />five years. <br /> <br />(2) <br /> <br />Provide a subsidy t o t he cost o f a 11, o r a percentage of, the bituminous paving <br />only. <br /> <br />(3) <br /> <br />Provide a subsidy as a percentage of the total project cost, regardless of alternative <br />aorb. <br /> <br />(4) <br /> <br />Provide a subsidy to the costs of driveway culverts to be financed out of the <br />stormwater utility. Staff recommended against subsidizing driveway culverts. <br />While there is a utility fund available to generate revenues for this element of the <br />p~'ogram, there are thousands of driveways in the City, most in fair to poor <br />condition. It may be difficult to defend against replacing existing damaged or <br />failing driveway culverts at City expense. <br /> <br />(5) <br /> <br />Provide a set amount of money to be divided equally among all benefited parties. <br />Staff felt that this would provide a good incentive for residents to pave or upgrade <br />their street. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/April 15, 2003 <br /> Page 7 of 12 <br /> <br /> <br />
