PURPOSE:
The Department of Engineering & Inspections, in partnership with the Department of Water Resources is requesting Council approval of an assessment roll for a sewer line improvement on Pleasant Ridge Road from Eagle Rock Road westerly along Pleasant Ridge Road to 2080 Pleasant Ridge Road. City Council, as provided by law, is required to hold a public hearing and approve the assessment roll before the pending charges can be levied against the abutting property.
BACKGROUND:
City Council previously approved the annexation of the area effective June 30, 2008. As provided for in City Charter Section 6.134 (b) & (c), City Council adopted a resolution on May 19, 2009, in response to special petitions for water and sewer services filed by residents on Pleasant Ridge Rd. The contract is complete and the total project construction cost has been determined. A portion of the improvement costs is assessed against the abutting property at $16.00 per foot frontage for the improvement. During the October 16, 2014 work session, City Council approved the staff recommendation to hold in abeyance water and sewer assessments of any property not currently connected to services. Through this abeyance option, assessments become billable only when a resident chooses to connect and will be billed at the above rates, which include an option of 10 annual payments at 6% interest. A copy of the Assessment Roll was advertised on February 19, 2015 and the attached Noticed of Public Hearing for local improvements was mailed to the last known property owners...
