RALPH TESCHNER, FINANCE DIRECTOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF WAIVER OF ASSESSMENT
BALANCE ON LOTS 1-3 OF OUTLOT A, MAPLE PARK
SHORE ACRES
OCTOBER 15, 1990
Dale Hossler, the property owner of Lots 1-3
Subdivision of Outlot A Maple Park Shore
Acres, (Parcel # 25 038 001 0 & 25 038 001 1),
has requested the City Council to waive the
balance of special assessments remaining upon
his property. The aggregate amount outstanding
is $1,742.31.
Water and sewer utilities were installed in
this area during 1978. At that time the three
lots were determined to comprise a single,
substandard building parcel and was assessed
the equivalent of 50' and a total dollar
amount of $3,871.86.
The lots existed under separate ownership
while the Wagon Bridge improvement project was
being constructed. However, the intent during
the assessment hearing process was for the
lots to be consolidated for the purpose of
building permit application.
The reason for his request is that, under
today's standards, the property no longer
qualifies for an appropriate building envelope
as is readily apparent on the attached map.
The square footage of the parcel approximates
9300 sq. ft., which is slightly under the
minimum requirement of 10,000. However, the
extreme lack of depth of these lots prevents
construction of any suitable home.
The abandoned railroad right-of-way behind the
lots is not owned by Hossler. It is also not
practical to combine that property with Lots
1-3 because the topography is a steep ravine
not conducive or economical for building.
Since the parcel cannot utilize utility
service as provided, the property also no
longer derives any benefit. Staff's contention
is that while the Council is not presently
obligated to waive the specials, an inequity
does currently exist and there appears to be
justification for the removal of the existing
assessments.

DISCUSSION:
RECOMMENDATION:
ACTION REQUIRED:
staff would recommend that the current special
assessment balance of $1,742.31, representing
all future installments beginning with 1991 be
abated. This abatement will have no impact on
debt service payments; and no refund of
assessments paid will occur.
Motion to approve as part of the consent agenda
is in order.
