Title
Resolution Authorizing Sanitary Sewer, Water, and Storm Sewer Improvement Charges for 1200 Arlington Boulevard ($1,332.73)
Memorandum
Your approval is requested to levy sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer improvement charges of $1,332.73 on the property known as 1200 Arlington Boulevard.  Annexation from Ann Arbor Township was completed on October 24, 2000, as notified by the State of Michigan.
 
Historically improvement charges were levied following annexation.  Upon file review, we found that the sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer improvement charges for this property were never levied nor 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 by extension of a 15 year payment schedule and zero percent interest terms.  The $1,332.73 Utilities Improvement Charge is to be levied and then made payable in 15 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.
