� � <br /> � PUBLIC HEARING ON 73-1 ASSESSMENTS, SEPTEMBER 2, 1975 Page 6 <br /> � How many units are in each project? Herman Renner <br /> � Plat maps will show. Searles <br /> + Did rezoning affect change in number of units to Richard Hollander <br /> � be sewered? <br /> � It may have been from 260 units to 234 or <br /> approximately 10%. Public Hearings were held Wayne Long <br /> � showing concept of costs and cost spreading. <br /> Various alternative methods of assessment <br /> � were explored then. No final method can be <br /> * adopted until after this meeting; this policy <br /> is the same one the City has always used. <br /> � Is it true that we cannot be assessed for more G. Jabour <br /> � than the benefit of the improvement to the <br /> property? As long as the sewer is benefiting more <br /> � than citizens of Orono, why cannot the seven <br /> county area assist? <br /> • Searles said that is basically true. In most <br /> cases, the property in the project is without <br /> � value without sanitary sewer because of the <br /> present health hazards created by the on-site <br /> � sewer systems. <br /> Jerry Seidmore, Hackberry, closed on his house Jerry Seidmore <br /> � in March, 1975 and the seller misinformed him <br /> of the cost of the assessment. <br /> � <br /> • Otto Christensen, Hackberry is in favor of the <br /> sewer. He agrees to pay his share of it. He <br /> � thinks 70% of the properties are not as well <br /> benefited as those that would be by front <br /> r footage. The formula is wrong. <br /> � Any lot of 140' or less would be benefited Harry Coult <br /> by front footage instead of unit charge. This <br /> a formula should be considered. <br /> � Searles stated there will be a meeting of the <br /> � Council on Thursday, September 4, 1975 at <br /> 6: 00 P.M. to discuss this matter. On Monday, <br /> � September 8, 1975, regular meeting, the <br /> Council hopes to make a decision on the proposed <br /> + assessment. <br /> � Is there a $130,000 overage on the total assessment? Paul Mason <br /> • Why cannot the Council just subtract the average Tonkawa <br /> amount from each assessment. <br /> � Council will consider.
