CITY OF MEDINA
RESOLUTION NO. l `/
RESOLUTION ADOPTING ASSESSMENT
WHEREAS, pursuant to proper notice duly given as required
by law, the City Council has met and heard and passed upon all
objections to the proposed assessment for the repair, reconstruc-
tion and surfacing of streets, namely, Tower Drive east of Pinto
Drive; Pinto Drive between Trunk Highway #55 and Hamel Road; and
Hamel Road between Hickory Drive and a point 600 feet East of
Tower Drive; and for the construction of a street and water main
in that portion of Tower Drive lying Westerly of Pinto Drive, to-
gether with any amendments deemed just; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the properties within
the assessment district have, in many cases, not been developed
or sold because of the lack of an all-weather road; and in other
cases, have not developed or sold because the all-weather road
was not of a designed capacity to accommodate industrial truck
traffic; and
WHEREAS, the property lying Truest of Pinto Drive had insuffi-
cient street access, lack of watermain and other public utilities,
and lack of a heavy duty all-weather road, all of which depressed
the market value thereof and made the property difficult to mar-
ket; and
WHEREAS, the improvement will provide a 9-ton all-weather
road sufficient for any type of industrial truck traffic and will
provide water service to those properties lying West of Pinto
Drive; and
WHEREAS, the availability of access by heavily laden trucks
at any time of year increases the value of each and every assessed
parcel by at least the amount of the assessment for street improve-
ment, and the availability of water supply increases the value of
the lots assessed for watermain by at least the amount of the
assessment; and
WHEREAS, all properties assessed will be more readily market-
able and the value thereof will be increased beyond the amount of
the assessment;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Medina, Minnesota, as follows:
-1-
1. The proposed assessment as amended, copy of which is
attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference, is hereby
accepted and shall constitute the special assessment against the
lands named therein, and each tract of land therein is hereby
found to be benefited by the proposed improvement in the amount
of the assessment levied against it by virtue of the market value
thereof being increased by the installation of the improvement.
2. Such assessment shall be payable in equal annual install-
ments extending over a period of /3 years, the first of the
installments to be payable on or before the first Monday in Jan-
uary, 1980, and shall bear interest at the rate of a % per annum
from the date of the adoption of this assessment resolution. To
the first installment shall be added interest on the entire assess-
ment from the date of this resolution until December 31, 1980. To
each subsequent installment when due shall be added interest for

prior to the certification of the assessment to the County Auditor,

accrued to date of payment, to the City Clerk, except that no int-
erest shall be charged if the entire assessment is paid within
30 days from the adoption of this resolution; and such property
owner may, at any time thereafter, pay to the City Clerk the entire
amount of the assessment remaining unpaid with interest accrued to
December 31st of the year in which such payment is made. Such pay-
ment must be made before November 15th or interest will be charged
