Resolution Authorizing Water Improvement Charge for 1008 Baldwin Avenue ($10,537.08)
Memorandum
Your approval is requested to levy the water improvement charge of $10,537.08 on the property known as 1008 Baldwin Avenue. The parcel is a result of a property split in 2007 from the parent parcel of 1620 Cambridge. The sanitary sewer main to serve this parcel was constructed by the Cambridge Development Group LLC and there is no sanitary sewer improvement charge due for this parcel. The applicable connection charges have been paid and the property is "active" for sanitary sewer and water service as of April 18, 2008.
According to current procedures, 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. The $10,537.08 Utilities Improvement Charge is to be levied and then made payable in 9 annual installments at 5.270% interest per annum on the unpaid balance.
It is therefore recommended that Council levy this improvement charge according to the terms described above.
