Resolution Authorizing Sanitary Sewer and Water Improvement Charges for 3891 Platt Road ($11,631.59)
Memorandum
Your approval is requested to levy sanitary sewer and water improvement charges of $11,631.59 on the property known as 3891 Platt Road. Annexation from Pittsfield Township was completed on February 22, 1994, as notified by the State of Michigan in a letter dated March 7, 1995.
The property was originally requested to be developed as "Buddy's Mini-Mart". The property was not developed under this plan but was sold several times before being developed.
Historically improvement charges were levied following annexation. Upon file review, we found that the sanitary sewer and water improvement charges for this property were not levied or paid.
The property is currently connected and active for sanitary sewer and water service. According to the procedures in place at the time of annexation, the property owner needs to now pay the property's share of the existing utilities through the City improvement charge levy as required under section 1:278, Chapter 12, of the Ann Arbor Code. Because the property has changed ownership multiple times since notice was provided, staff is recommending special consideration for the current property owner with zero percent interest terms. The $11,631.59 Utilities Improvement Charge is to be levied, and then made payable in 10 annual installments at 0% interest per annum on the unpaid balance.
It is therefore recommended that Council levy these improvement charges according to the terms described above.
