A public hearing regarding the proposed assessment was held on May 29, 2003~ The minutes of this hearing are attached to these Findings and Reco~endations as Exhibit "A?' Four members of the public, all of who live within the assessment district, tes6fied at the hearing. Much of the testimony concerned inquiries about how the assessments were calculated. A general concern expressed was regarding the policy of requiring fbur affected property owners to pay assessments related to improvements on a major collector to which they had no direct access. One specific concern expressed by fhose testifying was the lack of actual notice of the impending assessment when they p~archased their property' Legacy Street. T16s situation appears to be an anomaly created during the transfer of property ownership and which apparently has been resolved through an agreement between the developer and the assessed property owners where the fbrmer will pay at1 but a small portion of the assessment. Other concerns ~nvolved the timing of a water tine extension in relation to other scheduled improvements on Legacy Street. Staff agreed to fblIow-up with more information on the timing of the water line extension. Findings and Recommendations for Final Assessment - dob 3990 Page 3
