If the assessment i s not 1 evi ed at this time on tax 1 ots 6600 and 6100 staff recommends that the assessment for tax lot 11-04-24-21-7300 also not be lev- ied at this time as this is a similar situatian of only a parking lot on this lot. "WYE FOR TWO SERVICES" Roberta and Steve Thompson expressed concern at the hearing about being treated the same as other property owners on their street. The Thompsons' pointed out that they had two houses on their lot and would run separate services to each 1 of ~conformi ng to current code} during the construction of the sewer in front of their house last summer. Staff required a "wye" be provided far two connection points and proposed to assess them for two con- nection points. Upon further review staff agrees that there are lots on Elkay that have two separate houses and were not provided a "wye" and were assessed for one ser- vice. The second house in these cases was not obvious and was not brought to the attention of the staff determining service locations and numbers. Be- cause providing a "wye" for lots needing separate service lines was not done in a consistent manner staff recommends that the Thompsons be assessed for one service. LARGE DEVELOPABLE LOTS John Harrison is concerned that several developed lots pay more for the sewer than a vacant undivided large lot of similar size. He feels that the large lot gains much more benefit from the sewer because it can divide into smaller lots and the fats then have a higher value. Depending on the configuration, the assessment for a twenty acre undivided property, call it parcel "A", could be less or more than a twenty acre devel- oped1~~ property, parcel "B" . However, i f the assessment i s 1 ess today parcel "A" : ~wi 11 need addi ti anal sewers bui 1 t at additional cast i n order to subdi - v~de. Different configurations and related costs are described in the following p ragraphs. These examples use the $0.30 per square foot of area within 160' 1.teral cast only for the 199o assessment comparison. Only the lateral costs are used since 100 lots would require 100 connection points and each connection point will cost approximately the same. All property is assessed the $0.025 per total lot square foot levy regardless of configuration.} These examples also use the cost of $65 per lineal foot of sewer pipe far additional sewer lines needed for further development. This price includes construction, engineering, and administration and is approximately equal to the lineal foot cost of the lateral sewers built in 1990 in River Road. If parcel "A" ran the length of the new sewer and was 160' deep or less the parcel would be fully assessed over all the property including potential future right-af-way. The developed parcel "B" has the right-of-way deducted from the assessable area prior to the assessment calculation. In this situa-
