il <br />MEMO <br />CITYOFORONO <br />TO:Street File 4515 North Shore Drive <br />FROM:Paul Weinberger, Zoning Administrator/Planner <br />DATE:June 4,2002 <br />SUBJECT: Analysis of paid sewer assessments <br />The property is two tax parcels, Lots 8 and 9, Bergquist’s Addn. to Saga Hill. The properties were <br />part of the 1970LS-1 (Forest Lake/Saga Hill) sewer project. The project was assessed SI,270 per <br />unit plus S7.80 per foot and each unit was assessed a $225 connection fee*. Lot 8 has paid the full <br />assessment and the house was connected to sewer in the early 1 970s. Lot 9 paid the $7.80 footage <br />fee, but has not paid the unit fee and the connection fee. <br />Based on the 2002 fee schedule Lot 9 would owe for the portion of unpaid assessment if the property <br />were allowed to connect to sewer. Staff is suggesting the following is the total unpaid assessment. <br />Total Assessment due at the time of the 1970 project. <br />Lot 9 <br />$1,250 Unit Charge (unpaid) <br />$ 585 Footage Charge (paid) <br />$ 225 Connection Charge (expired*) <br />$ 1,835 Total Assessment for the property (1970). The total paid portion is 31.88% of the remaining <br />assessment that would have been due in 1970. $585/$ 1,835 = 0.3188 <br />The 2002 Fee Schedule lists the total connection fee for the Forest Lake/Saga Hill project is $9,840 <br />per unit. If the property is approved to have connection to sewer the assessment due would be <br />68.12% of $9,840, to reflect the unpaid portion at the time of the original project. <br />$9,840 <br />X 0.6812 <br />$ 6,703.00 is the unpaid balance of the full connection charge based on the 2002 Fee <br />Schedule. <br />Lot Area and Lot Width Variances Required: Hennepin County Tax records estimate the lot area of <br />Lot 9 to be 30,400 s.f This docs not meet the minimum requirement of 1.0 acre for the zoning <br />district. The lot is also less than the minimum required 140’ of width at the lakeshore and structure <br />setback. To build on the propert>' variances must be approved by the Council for lot area and width, <br />and Council must approve cormection to sewer. <br />* The $225 plant charge was never inflated and the plant is paid for. No additional plant charge <br />would be due. <br />G
