� . � � . <br /> . PUBLIC HEARING ON 73-1 ASSESSMENTS, SEPTEMBER 2, 1975 Page 5 <br /> � , At the 1973 Public Hearing, the figures were <br /> basically the same as now. However, when the <br /> � total assessment comes out now, it is considerably <br /> higher. Is the cost of putting sewer more <br /> • expensive on hilly terrain as opposed to level <br /> land? <br /> � <br /> � In some cases it does cost more money to put Wayne Long <br /> sewer in hilly terrain than on level ground. <br /> � Because of inflation, we will not be able to Howard Meagher <br /> a live on one acre lots in the future because <br /> of the tax base. He feels this assessment <br /> � should be spread on general levy. <br /> + Searles said that the most dense areas in the <br /> � United States are the ones where costs are the <br /> highest. Costs per person for government <br /> i services rise with density. <br /> � Originally the reason for sewer was to clean up Howard Meagher <br /> the lake. Why aren' t more people in Hennepin <br /> � County assessed for the sewer, like the school <br /> • areas? <br /> � Properties with lateral sewer were always Searles <br /> assessed cost of the project. <br /> • <br /> Will the trunk area only serve 30 acres? Do we <br /> � have a breakdown of how much money was spent <br /> on trunks? Are there areas outside that will <br /> � be using these trunks? <br /> � Future areas, if trunk is in, are taken out Wayne Long <br /> � and put into general levy. These areas will be <br /> assessed in the future if they are allowed to <br /> r connect. <br /> M These trunks are not built oversize generally Searles <br /> to accommodate future development. <br /> � <br /> . Council did the best job they could to keep Massengale <br /> these areas consistent with our zoning plan. <br /> � What was the amount of the original bid? <br /> � <br /> $1,266, 000 was bid by contractor. Wayne Long <br /> � <br /> I do not understand the difference between <br /> � $1, 700, 000 and what is actually being assessed. <br /> � If cost is less than this, shouldn't my <br /> assessment be less? Is it possible that if <br /> � assessment is considerably less that they will <br /> � not receive a lower assessment? <br /> Th�re is a chance that your assessment may be Searles <br /> � less; however, that is for the Council to decide. <br /> � <br /> � <br />
