Special Assessment Waiver Agreement - City of Orono/t-;-odhill Country Club/M.C.M. Associates B. Proposed Resolution Receiving and Calling Hearing on Improvement C. notice of Public Hearing ISSUE 1. Acknowledgment of information regardinq agreement between the City of Crono/Woodhill Country Club and M.C.M. Associates regarding their share of costs related to the upgrade of Woodhill Avenue. 2. Establishment of the public hee:irg date for the special assessment hearing for the upgrade of Woodhill Avenue. ."TRODUCTION - As you may recall a-ontingency of the final su5division`for McDowell passed on September 28, 1987 was that they were to enter into an agreement regarding their fair share of costs for the upgrade of Woodhill Avenue. Based on the agreement the parties have closed their land sale on Monday, October 5, 1987. DISCUSSION - After a review of the _project it was determined by staff that the appropriate share between Woodhill Country Club and John McDowell was a total of 75% of the total cost of the upgrade. Between the parties they agreed that Woodhill would share 3/ 16 of the price and McDowell wou 1,3 share 9/ 16 of the price. This represents a waiver of the special assessment. In order to get this upgrade project under way for construction in the spring of 1988 it is necessary that a public hearing be scheduled and suggest the November 23, 1987 Council meeting at which time the other three benefitting property owners can vresent a case and at which time the Council can determine their appropriate share for the upgrade. Based on the 75110 that has been agreed to by McDowe 11 the staff's recommendation that the City fund 10% of the cost (approximately $6,200 maximum) which is its foregone share cf the maintenance over a 20 year period and up to the balar,ce of 15% he assessed over the other three property owners based on ;.he amount of frontage they have on Woodhill Avenue. Should Woodhill have to begin to use this as their primary access it would require further upgrade of woodhill Avenue which would by necessity need to be bone by the Country Club.
