Norton_Property <br />The owner of the Norton property Tax Lot #18=~4-~Zw13woo8o0} has objected to one <br />of the two sanitary sewer service assessments for his property,becausethe property <br />has existing sewer service. This service was provided by connecting with another <br />private sewer system, which ultimately connected with the public sewer system. <br />IlVhile the property owner clearly previously paid to install this service, it is evident <br />that the Norton property has not paid to connect to the public sewer system. In <br />accordance with the Gity's policy, a sewer connection charge should be assessed <br />where no previous connection charge was paid, so the assessment is appropriate in <br />this case. This situation might have been answered differently if the adjoining <br />property owner's connection charges had included a charge for the Norton property, <br />but evidence ofi this was not presented. <br />^ ccaccm~nt <br />The final assessment costs to property owners are generally less than the estimates <br />provided at the hearing on formation of the LID. The only cost category in which <br />assessed costs are higher than those estimated at the formation hearing are those for <br />sanitary sewer laterals, and this increase is more than offset by lower costs in each <br />of the other categories. The Hearings Official recommends approval of the proposed <br />calculation of the assessments for property owners within the LID. <br />The Hearings official also finds that the project is one for which the assessments are <br />for a local improvement as set forth in SRS 310.410 because; <br />{ 1 } The assessments do not exceed actual costs; <br />~2} The assessments are imposed for a capital construction project which <br />provides a specific benefit for a specific property or rectifies the problem <br />caused by a specific property; <br />~3} The assessments are imposed in a single assessment upon completion <br />of the project; and <br />~4} The assessments allow the property owners to elect to pay the <br />assessment with interest over at least ten ~ 10} years. <br />Meadowaad Subdiuisian -Jab #3035 <br />I"indings and Recommendations • Page 4 <br />
