comer property and may not have been told by the seller about the future sewer assessments. Attached as Exh~~bit "4" is a map which illustrates the Kronen property. As can be noted, she has frontage along both Hodson and Horn Lane. It would appear that she has about 30o-feet of frontage along Hodson Lane. As noted in the City's follow-up Memorandum, the lot is Iarge enough to be partitioned. A arentl the riot owner suggested about a year ago that he was considering partitioning. PP .Y P Ms. Kronen inquired about partitioning in August, 1982. No steps toward partitioning occurred. From Ms. Kronen's letter, it would seem that she is not interested in partitioning. It is the finding of the Hearings Qfficial that the assessment has been determined in accordance with the Eugene Code. Had there been a timely partition of the property, then the undeveloped portion would not be assessed at this time. However, because the partition did not occur, the code provides that the entire property would be assessed now. RECQ ATI~N It is the finding of the Hearings Official that these sewer projects are ones for which the assessments are for a local improvement as set forth in ORS 310.140 because: (1) The assessments do not exceed actual costs; (2) The assessments are imposed for a capital construction project which provides a specific benefit to a specific property or rectifies a problem caused by a specific property; (3) 'The assessments are imposed in a single assessment upon completion of the project; and (4) The assessments allow the property owners to elect to pay off with interest over at least ten (10) years. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Hearings Official that City Council adopt a ordinance imposing the assessments as determined by the City Engineer. Respectfully Submitted, Jack A.
