NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA:
A. That the City Engineer and City Clerk are hereby instructed to make the
following adjustments to the assessment roll for the Farrell-Ferndale Area
Street Improvements, City Project 17-18:
1. Parcel 362922120005 – Cassandra Luna, 687 Ferndale Street North. It is
currently proposed that the property be assessed for 1 unit at the full
reconstruction assessment rate of $6,600. Mrs. Luna is requesting a
cancellation or revision of assessment due to having been assessed in the
past for improvements to Carlton Street, which abuts the rear portion of her
property, as part of City Project 03-22. Staff recommendation is to deny the
request for cancellation of assessment, as the property is being assessed
per the City’s assessment Policy and the assessment does not exceed the
benefit to the property. The previous assessment for City Project 03-22
represented the benefit received by the property from improvements along
Carlton Street. It was determined at that time that the property was large
enough to be subdivided and was assessed for 1 unit as such. That 1 unit
was placed on an undeveloped property deferral, which is set to expire in
the near future and would thus be terminated. The property is being
assessed at this time for the portion of the property that accesses Ferndale
Street.
2. Parcel 362922140029 – John Junek, 570 Ferndale Street North. It is
currently proposed that the property be assessed for 1 unit at the full
reconstruction assessment rate of $6,600. Mr. Junek is requesting a senior
citizen deferral. Staff recommendation is to grant a senior citizen deferral
upon approval of necessary paperwork and financial information. If
approved, the deferral will be for a period of 15 years. Interest will accrue
at a rate of 5 percent during the deferral period and the assessment will
become due with accumulated interest at the end of the deferral period.
