Two properties abut the project on the north side of Royal Avenue, one is within the City limits and one is in Lane County. The property (Bethel School District) within the City will be assessed for improvements constructed under this contract. The School District constructed their own sidewalks. The other north property (Jones) will only be assessed for sidewalks and will not be assessed for the costs of improvements to Royal Avenue because it was assessed for improvements on TeiTy Street. At the time of the Royal Avenue LID formation the Jones property was exempted from the street improvement (paving) assessments for Royal. Nine prope~ies abut the project on the south side of Royal Avenue and all are located in Lane County. The Lane County Board of Commissioners on May 8, 2002 by Board Order 02-5-8-5 authorized the City of Eugene to assess these properties. These lots are: Lydum Tax Lot #1704291100100 Heitz Tax Lot #1704291100200 Roos Tax Lot #1704291100300 Allen Tax Lot #1704291100500 Nelson Tax LOt g1704291100600 Joll~mmer Tax LOt #1704291100700 Morgan Tax LOt #1704291100800 Larsen Tax Lot # 1704291100900 The non-assessable City share for this project will be funded primarily from Transportation SDCs. System development charges are paid by new development to finance the non-assessable share of the improvements. As a collector street Royal Avenue is wider than neighborhood streets. The cost of improvements above the standard street width assessment for this type of collector street improvement are non-assessable under the Eugene Code. In every street improvement project there are other costs, such as the cost of intersections where there are no abutting properties, that are non-assessable. In the Royal Avenue project, the non-assessable costs include paving to rneet growth demands, and the non-assessable portions of the cost of curbs and gutters, sidewalks, intersections, street lights, street trees and the storm drainage system. Parcels of land that are vacant or partially developed will pay an equivalent assessment at the time of future development. City funds will cover the costs of the delayed assessments from the time of levying assessments until an equivalent assessment is collected sometime in the future. Assessment financing, a 10-year payment plan through the City, is available to all property owners within the improvement district. Of the 10 properties in the LID, three property owners qualify for the low-to moderate income subsidy program. This program only applies to owner- occupied properties in the LID. The City will pay the subsidy share, two at rnoderate income (1/3) and one at very low income (5/6). The total cost for the low income subsidies is $2,763.09.
