HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 06.s Date: Item No. RESOLUTION APPROVING SPECIAL ASSESSMENT AGREEMENT FOR SANITARY SEWER AND WATERMAIN UNIT CHARGES FOR PROPERTY AT 20751 HOLYOKE AVENUE Proposed Action Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Adoption of a resolution approving an Assessment Agreement for Sanitary Sewer Connection Charges and Watermain Unit Charges for property located at 20751 Holyoke Avenue. Overview Holyoke Avenue Properties LLC recently purchased the former Erickson Drug building in Downtown Lakeville located at 20751 Holyoke Avenue and has entered into a lease agreement with B-52 Burgers and Brews to establish a new restaurant in this existing building. Because of the change in use of this building from a retail to a restaurant use, an additional 14 SAC units are required to be paid with the building permit to remodel the building. This amounts to $34,790 being paid to the Metropolitan Council for Environmental Services for the Metro SAC charges. This amount will be paid with the building permit and forwarded to the Metropolitan Council. The City is also required to collect City Sewer Connection fees and City Watermain Unit Charges in conjunction with this building permit based on 14 SAC Units. The total amount of City charges is $40,250. The property owner and tenant have requested that these charges be assessed against the property. The City has agreed to assessment agreements for these types of charges on a number of occasions in the past. The proposed assessment agreement would be for a period of 10 years at an interest rate of 5%. Holyoke Avenue Properties LLC has agreed to the terms of the proposed assessment agreement. Staff recommends approval of the resolution authorizing the adoption of the Assessment Agreement with Holyoke Avenue Properties LLC. Primary Issues to Consider • What are the charges collected for the Sewer Connection Fee and Watermain Unit Charges used for? The charges that are collected are paid to the City Water and Sewer Trunk Funds.
