Title

Resolution No. 4 - Confirming the Geddes Avenue Curb & Gutter Special Assessment

Memorandum

Attached for your review and approval is Resolution No. 4 confirming the Special Assessment Roll for the Geddes Road Curb & Gutter - Special Assessment, District No. 505 File No. 2013-037

 

During design of the Geddes Avenue Improvements project it was determined that curb and gutter is necessary along the approximate eastern half of the project due to steep grades and the desire to narrow the extent of impacts.  With curb, the extent of grading associated with the roadway and sidewalk can be reduced thus minimizing impacts to the adjacent slopes and trees/vegetation. The curb also provides a means to convey stormwater and structurally protect the pavement edge.

 

Resolution 2 established the estimated cost of the project and the estimated project revenue sources and directing the preparation of the special assessment roll was approved by Council on July 20, 2015.  Resolution No. 3, approved by Council on July 20, 2015 scheduled the Public Hearing for August 6, 2015.

 

The total amount to be special assessed for the curb and gutter cost is $15,429.00.

It is recommended that there be three annual payments.  This is derived at by considering the total amount due for the Geddes Avenue improvement project.
