Sanitary service Levy Sturm drain RECGMIVIENDATIQN $ 524.41/each $ 0.025/square foot $ .14/square foot The final costs are generally lower than preliminary costs quoted at the local improvement hearing and are comparable to typical projects of this s%ze, The assessment distribution method for sanitary sewers was established in an attempt to create an equitable approach as well as conform to guidelines within the code. Section 7.175.5 describes lateral sewer assessments as being distributed on a cost per square foot for that area within a 16~-foot distance fromtheright-of way or a tat line, whichever comes first. In the case of Camelot Mobile Home Park, there are no individual lots plated thus allowing for distribution over the entire 16~-foot area, This development is serviced by a combination of private and public sewers, all of which have been constructed by the developer see Attachment "A"} , In an attempt to create an equitable distribu~an, staff reviewed two potential approaches; 1} not assessing the area within 1G0-feet of the public system constructed privately by the development and assessing the remaining area within 16a-feet of the right of-way, and 2} creating equivalent lots along the frontage to represent commonality with the other parcels being assessed in the Local Improvement District. Staff selected option one since it conformed most closely to the existing code language. Given the unique nature of the service delivery to the area staff recommends approval by the hearings official of this approach. Additionally, a fire hydrant was installed during the project construction north of Babcock Lane. This hydrant serves only a limited area, as identil~.ed by public safety see Attachment "B "}, thus the method of assessment has been derived based on that area of benefit. There are no clear guidelines in the code regarding assessment of this type of facility, however, staff feels this is the most equitable method of distribution, A storm sewer system was constructed as part of the improvement project to serve the area. Since the majority of the proper~.es within the Local. Improvement District are a result of recent subdivision ac~.vity or minor parti~ons and have submitted necessary irrevocable petitions or similar documents, they can be considered "new development" see Attachment "C"~, Based on the assumption, staff distributed costs to those benefiting properties (see Attachment "D"}, Staff recommends approval of the assessment distribution. A public hearing regarding this project was held on October 22,1991 at 6:3~ P.M, in the First Floor Conference Room of City Hall II. Hearings Official Tack A. Billings presided. A co ..
