October 24, 1980 <br /> <br />Ramsey City Council <br />City of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd. <br />Anoka, MN 55303 <br /> <br />Ramsey City Council <br /> <br />Subject: ProOect 80-16 <br />I was made aware of your decision via your council <br />meeting in September that the proposed black topping <br />of 154 & 153 lane would be implemented. <br /> I was also informed that I would be assigned twice <br /> the normal assessment because the Council felt that <br /> I had another ,,building site" immediately to the <br /> west of where my home now stands. This puts me in <br /> a position of being forced to pay $3283.58. <br /> I most strenuously object for the following reasons: <br /> <br /> 1. I have lived in my present home for sixteen <br /> years and I did not in the past; nor do I in <br /> the future, intend to sell the quote ,,building <br /> site" or to build a home on that area. <br /> 2. The black topping does not benefit me as a <br /> homeowner anymore than anyone else on the <br /> resurfaced street area, regardless of the <br /> frontage of their property. If I were the <br /> sole user of my frontage, I could accept the <br /> assessment; however, all the people on these <br /> streets will be equal users and, as such, I & <br /> they should equally share the costs. <br /> <br /> 3. The property value of my home will not <br /> appreciate one cent more than any other <br /> in this area. <br /> <br /> 4. The cost of a double assessment will increase <br /> my tax payments by $534.42 per year. This, <br /> added to my current tax assessment, will result <br /> in an 87% increase in my taxes. <br /> <br /> 5. If I were to sell my ,,building site", you will <br /> charge the new owner again f~r the assessment <br /> for which I would have a±reamy paid. <br /> <br /> <br />
