Paving 10 -foot (per front foot) $ 104.00 Parking Bays on Maple Street (each property) $ 550.00 Sidewalk and drive aprons (per square foot) $ 4.30 Total Assessable Cost $ 1,201,560 Total City Cost: w/o Low Income Subsidy: $ 2,089,800 Total Project Cost $ 3,291,360 The decrease in the proposed assessments came from project savings and the Council decision to apply budgeted funds saved by the low bids to the assessable costs of the project. Pursuant to City Code, the City is paying the largest share of the project costs. The city share of the costs includes the cost of the extra width (beyond 10 feet of paving) of the collector street. In addition, the street light improvements, street trees and larger capacity stormwater drainage improvements are paid for by the City because this is a collector street improvement. On this project the existing wastewater pipes needed to be adjusted to avoid conflict with the new stormwater drainage system and this work is funded out of the Wastewater Utility Fund. Only the standard five -foot width of the sidewalk is proposed to be assessed. Some improvements to the bike path connections from the neighborhood to the Roosevelt Path were paid for by the City. The City is also responsible at this time for the cost of the delayed assessment of large lots. Lots that have more than 100 feet of front footage are only assessed for the first 100 feet of frontage. Based on the assumption that these lots may develop more in the future, the assessment of the additional frontage is not done at this time, but is delayed until the time when the property divides or further develops. This helps reduce the pressure for the division of these large lots that would otherwise be increased by the large assessment. Low INCOME SUBSIDY Of the 122 properties in the LID, owners of 48 properties qualify for a subsidy under the low -to- moderate income subsidy program. This City funded subsidy program is available to property owners who occupy a single family dwelling or duplex and meet other program criteria. The income levels for the subsidy program are based on the current Lane County Median Family Income. The total cost for the low income subsidies is $228,722.84. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT This project was initiated by the Council. Since that initiation, City staff` have had multiple interactions with property owners within the area of the project, including a meeting in January to PROPOSED FINAL ASSESSMENTS FOR ELMIRA ROAD AND MAPLE STREET Page 2
