STREET IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT #2001-1, Public hearina continued to October 26th The Board considered the question of approval of the assessment list for Street Improvement District No. 2001-1 as confirmed by the Special Assessment Commission of Cass County, North Dakota. A public hearing was advertised for this date, time and place on the proposed assessments, and the chairman opened the public hearing. Several residents of Woodland Acres and the Westwood Homeowners Association were present, as well as Francis Klein and Jake Gust, from the Special Assessment Commission. - Mr. Klein, Chairman of the Special Assessment Commission, said the major portion of the project consists of patching the current pavement and applying a two-inch asphalt overlay to Sunnyside Drive in Holmen's Third Subdivision. The project also includes a culvert and some drainage work. Mr. Klein explained how the determination of benefit was made with respect to each of the properties within the assessment district and according to the North Dakota Century Code. He provided copies of a letter to the County Commission from the Special Assessment Commission, dated October 9, 2001, with attachments consisting of a subdivision map, the contractor's bid in the amount of $47,740.00, and an aerial photo. The Special Assessment Commission held several meetings and first assessed twenty-four lots equally and two lots (Lots 1 and 10, Block 1) at 50% of the other lot assessments. However, after further review, they determined the assessment of Lots 1 and 10 should be reduced 25% because certain additional drainage work was not completed. The park area was not assessed because it is dedicated for use of the public and does not appear to be owned by any person, corporation, or political subdivision. .- Thomas Kenville addressed the Board at this time, and he said the property owners of the two lots bordering 68th Avenue, which were assessed at 25% of the other lots, are willing to pay an equal share ofthe improvements. The remaining citizens and taxpayers in Street Improvement District #2001-1 have agreed to pay equal shares for future 68th Avenue improvements. Mr. Kenville believes the wishes of the taxpayer should be taken into account, and they agreed to pay an equal share in the project, or $3,000 per household.
