ITEM 8 Mayor Johnson opened the public assessment hearing on the Appaloosa • Farms (Iteri Avenue, Iteri Court East, Iteri Court West and 194t" Street CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING JULY 18, 2005 Page 4 West) sewer and water, Improvement Project 04-10. The City Clerk attested to legal notices being duly published and mailed. City Engineer Keith Nelson briefly outlined the proposed improvements to Appaloosa Farms. A complete presentation of the proposed project was made at a public hearing in front of the City Council on April 4, 2005. Financing alternatives were presented at a neighborhood meeting on April 28tH, and the City Council approved plans and specifications and taking of bids at its May 16th meeting. Staff is recommending the project be specially assessed over atwenty-year period at 4.5% interest. Pending the outcome of the assessment hearing, staff is recommending the City Council order the improvements and award a contract to the low bidder, Heselton Construction, in the amount of $565,403.88. The actual project cost, based on the low bid, is $763,767, which is very close to what was estimated in the feasibility report. Mr. Nelson explained that if this project is to proceed this year, it will lessen the financial impact for the residents by being able to secure a lower interest rate of 4.5%, deferring the connection to sanitary sewer for two years, deferring the connection to City water until the need arises, and deferring assessments for potential future lots until such time as those lots are subdivided or platted. Mr. Nelson stated staff received a phone call today from Tamara Bender, 9850 Iteri Court West, regarding the sanitary sewer and watermain stubs to her property off of Kenwood Trail. She has, in her possession, a 1993 letter from the City Engineer to the former property owner indicating that 100 front feet would be assessed due to the larger sized lot, instead of the 183 full front feet.. The City Attorney has recommended that the City honor the 1993 letter with the adjusted rates. Therefore, the assessment to Ms. Bender's property would be $11,275.00 instead of $13,183.00. Scott Setzepfandt, 19645 Ireland Way, questioned the reason for connecting Iteria Court East between Appaloosa Farms and Paradise Hills. Mr. Nelson. explained that the connection would bring a substandard cul- de-sac up to current standards and would also provide an additional access to the Paradise Hills development for emergency vehicles. Roger Gilb, 9880 Iteri Court West, thanked city staff for making this project affordable for the neighborhood. He asked the Council to order the project and approve the assessments.
