Findings and Recommendations - Job #2813 March 30, 1994 Page 2 of 3 No design work has been performed at this stage of the project development, so the estimates provided above may be effected by unknown utility conflicts, soil or topographic constraints, etc. Final Costs will be based on actual project costs determined at completion. The sidewalks will be constructed and assessed to the properties on east side only at this time. Future development requirements on the west side will require sidewalks to be constructed. The estimated assessment is $18 to $21 per front foot , , 2. That the City will pick up the cost for non-assessable pavement width, non-assessable drainage capacity, intersections and street lighting as identified by City Code, Chapter 7. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the proposed improvement project be approved and that the staff be authorized to proceed with design and bidding of the project. PUBLIC HEARING, FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATION A public hearing regarding this project was held March 21, 1994 at 6:00 p.m. in the First Floor Conference Room of City Hall ll. Hearings Official Gary Darnielle presided. A copy of the Minutes from the hearing are attached as Exhibit "A". In addition to the public comment received at the hearing, the Hearings Official has also received written communications regarding the project from the City Engineer (Exhibit "B") and a map of the area of the proposed project (Exhibit "C"). The opening of Terry Street to through traffic between Royal Avenue and Barger Drive has been accorded a high priority and is listed in the CIP and Transplan as a needed project As development along Terry Street and throughout the neighborhood has occurred, and the future improvements to Beltline Road moves closer, this need has increased. Between Beltline Road and Green Hill Road, Terry Street is the only north-south connector street between Royal Avenue and Barger Drive. The City has on fIle, petitions, from property owners, that would bear 57.8% of the assessable cost of Terry Street improvement Two (2) of the six (6) properties affected by the improvement are in Lane County, and outside the city. Staff is coordinating this improvement with the County, with the City being the responsible for purchase of right-of-way, design, bidding, construction management, assessments and maintenance. The County will be required to approve these two (2) properties being included in the LID per ORS statues. All properties are large with long frontages abutting Terry Street resulting in large assessments. All properties except the southwest comer property (Kruger) are developable tracts of land or are already developed and are proposed to be assessed per Chapter 7 guidelines. Staff had reviewed the unique nature of the Kruger property in regards to the assessment distribution. Staff is recommending that the first 425-feet from Royal Avenue be considered developed single family residential in nature (20-foot equivalent) with the balance being deferred through a delay of benefit deferral until the time of development Staff is recommending this approach due to the unique size and shape of the parcel, the amount of a full assessment as compared to the property value (which is less), the location of the trunk sewer on the west boundary precluding some development potential, and its current status of being in the County.
