Regular City Council Meetrng Nov. 12, 2001 Page 4 and with this method they took the same 37% and divided by the total frontage foot of all the affected homeowners in this area. Mr. Napier said that with the frontage foot method, it came out to $12. 87 per frontage foot. Mr. Napier told Council that property owners receiving letters will see their individual lots and be given the cost of 25.7025 per acre which is the tributary cost, as well as a frontage foot cost of $12. 87 per front foot. Mr. Napier said that some of the methods makes it very unfair for someone that has a large frontage foot and large acreage, so he went in and set the smaller of the two costs to the property owner. Ronnie Baker, 610 N. E. 46th Street, was present asking why the property on the north side of his property had not been assessed. Mr. Napier explained that there is a state statute that governs counties whose population is less that 100,000 which says a property cannot be assessed if it is over five acres. City Attorney Schenk advised that the properties larger than five acres could be assessed an impact fee if the City Council adopts an impact fee. Delania Burrow wanted to know why their assessment is $2,574.00. Ms. Burrow advised that her family owns two lots located in the project area, but that there will never be anything located on those lots. Ms. Burrow said they presently have horses on the two lots, and this land has been in her family for years and will probably will never have a house built on it. City Attorney Schenk advised that this property has been subdivided and it is presumed that those lots will be or can be sold and a house placed on them. There is nothing that the city can do to put anything there that says a house will not be placed on the lots. No one else appeared, and the public hearing was declared closed.
