DECLARE COST TO BE ASSESSED, ORDER PREPARATION AND CALL FOR HEARING ON PROPOSED ASSESSMENT FOR PARTIAL RECONSTRUCTION OF 87TH AVENUE BY THE CITY OF CIRCLE PINES, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 15-11
Background
This project was initiated by the City of Circle Pines and they requested that the City of Blaine participate in the cost because the street provides access to three Blaine single family parcels which were platted as Golden Lake Estates Second Addition in 1987.
The project was constructed by the City of Circle Pines in 2015 and consisted of spot curb and gutter replacement, removal of the existing pavement, subgrade correction as needed and installation of 3.5 inches of new bituminous pavement.
The City of Blaine and the City of Circle Pines entered into a Joint Powers Agreement with Blaine agreeing to specially assess three parcels in Blaine that access 87th Avenue and receive benefit from the project. The City of Blaine will pay to the City of Circle Pines all assessments collected. The City of Blaine has a similar partial reconstruction project (15-07) on 92nd Circle in the plat of Hidden Lake Estates. It is proposed to assess the same per lot rate to the three benefitting parcels on 87th Avenue as proposed to be assessed for Improvement Project No. 15-07. The amount proposed to be assessed is $792.26 per benefitting parcel for a total of $2,376.78.
The total amount indicated in the Feasibility Report to be assessed to the three benefitting parcels in Blaine was $3,127.83.
The Assessment Roll has been prepared consistent with the Feasibility Report. The amount to be assessed is $2,376.78.
