WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the assessment roll in the above
captioned improvement project utilizing several criteria which should be
universally applied;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Medina
that the following assessment policies have been and shall be applied in
sPid project:
1. Assessable Unit. Assessments shall be on a unit basis of 32,708.40
per unit for sewer and $1,809.60 per unit for water with an additional
front footage charge of 1;22.57 per foot for sewer and 315.08 per foot
for water. An assessable unit shall be a parcel, lot or combination
thereof totaling not more t-)an 120 feet of frontage and devoted or to
be devoted to use as one family dwelling unit. That portion of any
parcel, lot or combination thereof which exceeds 120 feet shall be assessed
at the applicable front footage rate. Land devoted or to be devoted to
commercial uses shall be assessed at the rate of one unit charge per each
one-third acre or fraction thereof for sanitary sewer purposes and 315.08
per front foot for water main. Land devoted or to be devoted to duplexes,
two family dwellings, or other multiple dwelling uses shall be assessed
82% of an Assessable Unit for each family dwelling unit on the property.
2. Combination of Lots. Any property owner wishing to limit assessments
to a given number of units may do so by signing an agreement, to be pre-
pared by the City Attorney, limiting the use of a parcel, lot or combination
thereof to one or more dwelling units. The policy of lot combinations shall
apply only to contiguous lots devoted or to be devoted to use as dwelling
units, except as hereinafter provided:
(a) Lots or parcels devoted or to be devoted to use as a single
family dwelling unit will be treated as a single assessable unit,
notwithstanding the fact that such lot or parcel is severed by a
road easement.
(b) Any combination of (a) above, combined with a second lot and
such combination devoted or to be devoted to use as a single family
dwelling unit shall be treated as follows: if said second lot fronts
on a platted street, such frontage will be added to the frontage on
the longest side of said road easement and the total thereof shall
constitute the frontage of the combination upon which the unit charge
is calculated.
3. Assessory Uses. Any parcel, lot or combination thereof devoted or
to be devoted to use as one single family dwelling, but containing one or
more assessory buildings as defined in applicable Medina Codes and
Ordinances, shall be treated as a single assessable unit but subject to the
applicable front footage charge for any frontage in excess of 120 feet.
4. Small Lift Stations. Where a lift station has been provided to serve no
more than one dwelling unit, the initial capital cost and installation thereof
shall be borne by the entire project. Thereafter, maintenance costs,
replacement costs, electrical power, and all other costs shall be borne by
the owner of the dwelling unit.
5. Connection Charges. Pursuant to MSA. §444. 075, et sec, the City
Council shall by ordinance provide that any real property not assessed
under Independence Beach Sanitary Sewer and Water Project, which is
later combined with a parcel, lot or combination thereof, or comes on
line and derives benefit from the said Sanitary Sewer and Water Project,
shall pay a connection charge for sewer and/or water according to the
assessment formulae set forth herein, provided however, that no parcel,
lot or combination thereof devoted or to be devoted to use as a single
family dwelling unit shall pay a greater combined assessment and connection
charge than said parcel, lot or combination thereof would have paid, had it
been so combined and assessed on the date of the adoption of the assessment
roll of said Improvement Project.
