Resolution Authorizing Sanitary Sewer and Water Improvement Charges for 1647 Franklin ($24,422.00)
Memorandum
Your approval is requested to levy sanitary sewer and water improvement charges totaling $24,422.00 on the property known as 1647 Franklin Street. This previously-vacant parcel was the result of a 2006 property split. On February 24, 2011, the owner paid the $30.00 fee to levy the improvement charges (the fee covers the cost to have the certified resolution recorded at the Washtenaw County Register of Deeds). The property has paid the applicable connection charges and is "active" for sanitary sewer and water service as of March 18, 2011.
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 $24,422.00 Utilities Improvement Charge is to be levied and then made payable in 15 annual installments at 5.37% interest per annum on the unpaid balance.
It is therefore recommended that Council levy these improvement charges according to the terms described above.
