This LID will include the properties served by the sewers constructed under the three City contracts (for basins S, X, and U). ASSESSMENTS The source of funding for this project is predominately from assessments of those properties that will ultimately receive service from these improvements. The costs for the three City contract basins (S, X and U would be combined and the assessable areas also be combined for a single LID assessment calculation. In accordance with EC 7 .175(2)(b )5c, the costs for the project would be apportioned on a per-square-foot basis for the lateral sewer, and on a per-each basis for the service connection points. Vacant properties not annexed to the city would be included in the computation of assessable costs but will not be included in the LID, assessed or receive service until annexation and development occurs, as provided in Metropolitan Plan policies. The City of Eugene will bear the assessable costs for unannexed, vacant properties through the sewer fund until such properties are annexed and developed. At that time, an equivalent assessment will be collected in accordance with EC 6.476. PARTITIONS It is anticipated that a limited number of property owners may be partitioning or modifying the existing configurations of their properties to create vacant parcels that may not be subject to assessment. If a change is completed (i.e., the change receives final approval by the City and is recorded with Lane County) by December 1, 1996, the change will be reflected in the final assessment calculations. RIGHTS-OF- WAY AND DRAINAGEW A YS In addition to vacant property not being included in the LID there are two other condiions under which property within the LID boundaries should not be included in the assessable area: 1) street rights-of-way, and; 2) portions of property within drainageways meeting certain criteria. The criteria that a property must meet to exempt a portion of the property from assessment as a drainageway are as follows: 1) the drainageway must provide community-wide benefit; 2) the drainageway must be recognized as an open channel drainage corridor in the City's storm drainage master plan; and 3) the property within the drainageway must be dedicated to the City or County, or there must be an easement giving the City or County perpetual use of the drainageway for drainage purposes. The second criteria, a drainageway recognized as an open channel in the storm master plan, is a guideline. The master plan is a planning document and was not intended to deal with individual lot issues. Lots which appear to have drainageways which are determined by staff to be part of the system recognized by the drainage master plan may be recognized as meeting the second criteria. Staff will review properties in the LID that abut known drainage channels and will send revised notices of reduced assessment to the owners of those lots that fit the criteria listed above.
