Total Estimated Assessable Cost $109,620.00 Total Estimated City Cost $ 59,970.00 The City cost is primarily for the wastewater system rehabilitation work and improving access to the stormwater system. Alley assessments are based on both frontage and area calculations in the following manner: The front footage of a parcel along the alley and its’ square footage area (within 160 feet of the improvement frontage) is ascertained and that footage and square footage shall be weighted on the basis of the parcel’s existing use and zoning. The existing use factor shall be multiplied by the frontage. The permissible use by zoning factor will be applied to the area. The combination will determine the assessable portions of the project to each individual parcel. One-half of the general costs and overhead of the project shall be apportioned on the basis of weighted frontage and one-half on the basis of weighted area. Assessments are anticipated to be levied following completion of construction. Following the levy of assessments, a 10-year payment plan through the City, will be available to all property owners within the improvement district as identified by Eugene Code, Chapter 7. This project has no property owners that meet criteria for the Low-to-Moderate Income Street Improvement Subsidy Program. All properties are commercially zoned. The subsidy program is available to property owners who occupy a single family dwelling or duplex and meet other program criteria. Project This project is an existing City alley between Polk Street and Tyler Street with gravel surfacing and no City storm facilities. The gravel surface is in very poor condition despite frequent property owner grading. The cause of the rapid deterioration of the alley surfacing is a result of level topography and the lack of a storm system necessary to rid the area of standing water. A current wastewater line is located within the alley and was originally constructed in 1914. The wastewater pipe is in very poor condition and was scheduled for the 2008 wastewater rehabilitation program to line or otherwise repair. The proposed project will replace the wastewater pipe with new pipe, add a storm system including a water quality structure, and resurface the alley with Portland Cement Concrete bringing it up to City standards as described in the Eugene Code and the Public Improvement Designs Standards manual.
