Uanald & Joanne Kuehling 111 West Hilliard Lane Eugene, Oregon 9?404 River Road Task Team Sb0 W. Park Eugene, Oregon 97401 February Z5, 1991 Dear River Road Task Tearn, We are writing this letter because we were unable to attend the February l8, 1991, meeting due to the critical illness of a family membero fur objections to our proposed assessment fora sewer are based upon what we feel is the unique circumstance of our lot shape, ~~ er In the Financial Options pamphlet sent out by the City of Eugene in June, 1990, under the sub title ~~'iguring Costs`' the writer states the followin `his with the g~ majority of Oregon cities and counties, Eugene uses the square footage of the lot, up to a maximum X160} lot depth, as the bas~.s far the lateral assessment, This method takes into account the fact that,, aver the 70-100 year life of the system, lar e lots have the otential for develo vent which wou~ e ~ ~ g ~ ~- P p ..d r quire more. sewer use, whale the us~. of ~ the syste~:~ by smaller lots will remain stable,~~ We can understand the rationale for figuri~~g cost this way. However, if you look at our.lat, the frontage is large X170 feet) narrowing in back to X86} feet. You ca~~ see it has a basic pie shape acid would not be able to be sub divided or developed for more value in the future. Our house is also located in the riddle of the lot. We feel the 170 foot width along .the road is causing our sewer assessment to be more than twice as much as many homeowners, we personally know, in this area with ap- proximately the same porperty tax assessed value We feel that paying the equivalent of lf6 of our total property value for the sewer, without passibility of future lot development; compared to others, previously mentioned, paying 1/13 of approximately the same property value is unfair. We would be glad to talk to the City Council or appropriate persons concerning this mattero e~~~closure : Figure Costs quote from parc~phlet Sincere y, RECEIl~ED fE8 25 1991 c ~ ~ r~~~~ GGc.d ~Glrl Lon & Joann Lon & Joann ~uehlinb 6E9-3063 ~~9-~06~ F~~NANC~ DEPART'M~NT ~~ ~
