Projected- Cost At the time of formation of the Local Improvement District following the bid opening, the assessable unit costs listed below were quoted to property owners, based on the low bids received prior to construction: Storm Sewer cost to property owner $304,427.19 Cost to City: $302,359.53 The final improvement costs are higher than quoted prior to forming the local improvement district, because of higher than expected groundwater conditions and utility conflicts that forced delays in this project. PUBLIC HEARING The property owner was informed more than ten days in advance of the date of a scheduled public hearing on the final assessment. The City Engineer submitted a report to the Hearings Officer Exhibit B}. The property owner appeared at the hearing and raised several questions. The property owner questioned the propriety of proceeding on the storm sewer improvements without also undertaking street improvements. The property owner also questioned whether or not his property was the only property benefited by the improvements. City engineering personnel explained that the project had been initiated without waiting for the opportunity to combine the storm sewer project with a street improvement project because the property owner needed to have the existing storm sewer system redirected around the property. Because the property owner was the only property that benefited from the project to redirect the storm sewer, the property owner was the only one assessed. Minutes of the Public Hearing are attached as Exhibit A. FINDINGS AND RECGMMENDATIGNS -- Prnr.Pr~~~rP The Hearings official finds that notice of the public hearing was provided in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Eugene Code, and that all property owners were provided an opportunity to participate in the proceedings. Assessment of all Benefited Pro ernes The single property in the local improvement district was the only benefited property. While other properties may use the storm sewer, they derived no benefit from the project, because they had been using the pre-existing storm sewer system prior to the project. The project was initiated so that the benefited property could be developed, divided and sold as separate parcels. Without STORM SEWERS 4N GtLHAM ROAD AND AYERS ROAD FINAL ASSESSMENT PAGE 2
