The combination of irrevocable petitions and petition poll responses represented property that will bear 54 percent of the assessable costs. Based on thane results, the City Engineer proceeded to initiate the design, acquisition and bidding of the project on May 1,1997, as provided far in the Eugene Code 7.1608}, The City Council formed the local improvement district SLID} on April 20,1995.

Df the 36 properties included in the LID,10 properties qualify for the low-to-moderate income subsidy program. This program only apples to owner occupied properties in the LID. The City will pay in full for the subsidy share ~ 113, 213, or 516} that each property qualifies for which in total represents $40,231.57. CORRESPONDENCE City staff have received phone ca11s from Mr. Barry ~L7Vo1ff at 1330 Brickley Road, and Mr. David Smith,1312 Brickley Road, who had concerns about their assessment costs. As a result of the issues raised raised by these individuals, staff concluded that a portion of the stormwater system costs that had been allocated to these two properties should be more appropriately considered a City cost since the system was intended to serve a broader area, Staff also received a phone call from Mr. Jeff Davis, president of the homeowners association for Champignon, a multi-family development at 1351 Hammock Street, regarding their assessment. Mr. Davis communicated that the board of directors of the homeowners association did not feel that the improvements to Brickley Road conferred a sufficient benefit to their property to warrant an assessment. Staff reviewed this issue and concluded that the property should be assessed for both the s~eet and sidewalk improvements similar to other properties that are adjacent to the improvements. Approximately 30.28-feet of the Champ~gnon property is adjacent to the improvement. A driveway access into the development ~s ~mmedlately south of the limits of the improvements. The code does not limit a properties assessable property length based on location of driveways or constraints that may exist. Daly the actual property length directly adjacent to the improvement, which is less than the minimum 60-feet defined in 7.175.b.~1}, is being assessed. ~n the future, when Hammock Street is ultimately improved, the balance of the Champignon development will be assessed. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project included construction of 1,000 feet of 21-foot paving, curb, gutter, sidewalks and storm sewers. Sidewalks were constructed on the south side of the street only.
