Home My WebLink About4D - Assessment Correction for Glenn & Dorothy Johnson CONSENT AGENDA #: 4 (d) PREPARED BY: RALPH TESCHNER FINANCE DIRECfOR SUBJECT: CONSIDER GLENN & DOROTHY JOHNSON ASSESSMENT CORRECTION DATE: DECEMBER 6, 1993 INTRODUCTION: BACKGROUND: DISCUSSION: ALTERNATIVES: Glen and Dorothy Johnson have requested the Council to consider reducing their front frontage assessment for the paving of Center Road from 83' to 75' for their property located at 16863 Lime Road. On November 15th, the City Council approved Resolution 93-101 which adopted the assessment roll for Project #93-12 Center & Lime Road improvements. The assessment roll was subsequently filed with the Scott County Auditor's Office on 11/30/93 which is the statutory filing date. The Johnsons did not appear at the assessment hearing to contest their proposed frontage assessment. During the course of reviewing their Statement of Special Assessment notice, they did not initially realize the frontage difference. However, upon later examination they discovered the discrepancy. The map utilized by the City for the purpose of calculating front footage dimensions incorrectly shows the division line of Lots 3-6 Block 26 Spring Lake Townsite which resulted in the 8' difference. Mrs. Johnson has provided Staff a certified lot survey of their property which indicates the front footage to be 75' and not 83' as indicated on the assessment roll. The following alternatives are available to the City Council: 1. Amend the assessment of the J ohnsons to reflect 75' thereby reducing their assessment amount from $3,724.21 to $3,365.25. 2. Deny the request and reaffirm the original assessment. 3. Modify the assessment to an amount as determined by the City Council. RECOMMENDATION: Since the appeal occurred following the date of the assessment hearing, the City Council is not required by statute to change the assessment However, the issue here is one of equity and fairness. Therefore, Staff would recommend that the frontage assessed be amended from 83' to 75' and the amount on the assessment roll be reduced from $3,724.21 to $3,365.25. 4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 I Ph.
