In accordance with the Eugene Code, each alley will be considered as a separate element of the project. Each cost will be calculated separately and the properties along the alley will be subject to assessment based on the characteristics of the adjacent properties. During initial consideration of the issues that led to this project, the Council examined the Eugene Code and made changes to the alley assessment provisions. The assessable cost for each alley is calculated and then one half of the assessable costs are apportioned to the properties based on their front footage abutting the alleys, and one half of the assessable costs are apportioned to the properties based on the area of the properties within 160 feet of the alley. The assessable front foot costs are calculated based on the existing use of each parcel. The assessable area costs are based on the permissible use of each parcel under the zoning of the City. Weighting factors are applied to the front footage and area of each property depending on the use and zoning of the property as prescribed in City Code Single family dwelling or duplex 1.0 Other residential 3.0 Commercial or General Office 10.0 Industrial 10.0 Other 1.0-10.0' *According to the most intensive use of the parcel most comparable to the use listed above as determined by the city engineer. The total assessable cost for each alley and the weighted front foot and area cost for each alley are shown in the Attachment E attached to the City Engineer's report. The Eugene Code calls for most of the costs of alley construction to be assessed to the property abutting the alleys. Based on the low bids received, the costs listed below are the total estimated assessment costs plus contingency for the local improvement district. Total Assessable Cost $1,670,779 Total City Cost $ 3,670 Total Project Cost $1,674,449 The non-assessable City share for this project will be funded from Transportation Utility Fund in the estimated amount of $3,670, and includes repair of several existing alley driveways and street pavement preservation work.
