The Walkers indicate that they feel the assessment amount for the Dukes property is "unjust relative to the amount of our assessment." All the assessments for property adjacent to Herman Street will be calculated per City Code which is to use a cost per front foot. The Dukes property has 345 feet of frontage, as compared to 276 feet for the Walker's property. The Walkers also expressed concern that construction of this segment of the street would not connect with the existing section of Herman Street to the north. The City has irrevocable petitions from the Walkers and from Mr. Dukes for the segment associated with their properties. Mr Dukes is required to improve the street so that he can develop his property, which he desires to do now. The property owner between the Dukes property and the existing section of Herman Street does not want to extend the street north through his property at this time. Ultimately, the City does expect that Herman street will be extended north to the existing improved section, however, that will likely only occur when the property develops. Herman Street south of the Walkers property is full improved and connects with Spring Creek to the south. PROJECT The project includes construction of 330 feet of 28 foot paving, curb, gutter, sidewalks, storm and sanitary sewers. ASSESSMENT Costs listed below are the estimated assessment costs calculated from the low bid. 28' Paving Sidewalk Lateral Service $ 93.7 4/front foot $ 28.60/front foot $ .19/square foot $1,324.64/each RECOMMENDATION The unit prices submitted with the low bid are comparable to other projects of similar size. This project is a logical extension of pubic facilities, is necessary to allow for development of the adjoining properties, and is required as a condition of the development of the Walker and Dukes property. Staff recommends approval of formation of the local improvement district. a :\support\proj-97\3538hrg. m
