should be delayed until it is developed, when the cost of the sewers can be recovered through an eight-inch equivalent assessment. Sewers Installed in River Road by Lane CountX Lane County installed sanitary sewers in River Road from River Loop ~ to Carthage Avenue in I994 in conjunction with other improvements being made to that section of River Road. Through an intergovernmental agreement with Lane County, the City agreed to pay for the sewer construction, including engineering and surveying services provided by Lane County, The City will recover its costs by levying a special benefit assessment, based on the equivalent cost per square foot and service cost derived for the construction of sewers in the 1994 basins, against those properties served by these sewers. The City has consistently used this method in ail LIDS since the work performed by Lane County's contractor is consistent with that performed by the City's contractors for which there is no differentiation of costs for properties in those basins . At the information session, a property owner whose property is affected by these equivalent assessment calculations inquired if he would pay twice for certain services such as engineering and surveying, Lane County will assess properties adjacent to the recently improved section of River Road for curb, gutter, and sidewalk. The charges for these improvements include a percentage of the construction cost added to the contract costs for curbs, gutters, and sidewalks to compensate for engineering and surveying expenses. Lane County will not charge property owners for engineering and surveying associated with construction of sanitary sewers or paving. Reimbursement of SDC Offsite Credit Several properties on Hyacinth Street north of Kingsbury Avenue are proposed to each pay a $b0 reimbursement to the City of Eugene for an offsite SDC credit given by the City to a property owner who extended the Hyacinth line at personal cost. The City does not propose to collect a lateral assessment from these property owners because the lateral sewer that serves their properties was not constructed at public expense. Finn All properties to be assessed will be eligible for I~-year assessment financing. Low income deferral programs are also available for those property owners that qualify. Qualifications will be determined at the time the financing application is processed.. RECOMMENDATION The final assessment costs are comparable to the estimates given when the bids were opened and presented at the hearings for the formation of the LID.
