Resolution Authorizing Sanitary Sewer, Water, Storm Sewer, and Road Improvement Charges for 2619 Traver Boulevard ($5,285.64)
Memorandum
Your approval is requested to levy sanitary sewer, water, storm sewer, and road improvement charges of $5,285.64 on the property known as 2619 Traver Boulevard. Annexation from Ann Arbor Township was completed on June 16, 1994, as notified by the State of Michigan in a letter dated March 1, 1995. The property was originally known as a 1.69-acre parcel along Traver Boulevard. Following annexation, the land was split into 4 parcels. A determination was made that all four properties equally benefit from the improvements, and thus the improvement charges should be equally divided among the properties, requiring four separate Council resolutions.
Historically improvement charges were levied following annexation. Upon file review, we found that the sanitary sewer, water, storm sewer, and road improvement charges for this property was 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 $5,285.64 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.
