A report was presented by the Director of Public Works relative to the
significance of sodding of complete boulevards compared to the total sodding
effort of the combined street projects.
It was the consensus of the Council that complete boulevard sodding
at certain properties did not significantly affect the assessment on any
individual parcel and that the policy of applying an average uniform assess-
.
ment rate continue,
The Council next considered the objection of Mr. William Kozicky of
5527 Humboldt Avenue North relative to the assessment of his property on a
front foot basis. Mr. Kozicky contended that his lot which measures 176 feet
of frontage by a depth of 93.75 feet is not benefitted to the extent of applying
the unit assessment rate against 176 feet of frontage. He contended that his
situation was unique and deserving of adjustment. During City Council
discussion it was recalled that in similar past situations, such lots were
assessed an amount equal to the average assessment of corner lots in the same
project. After further discussion it was determined by the City Council that
the subject Lot 53, Auditor's Subdivision No. 218, Plat 89103, Parcel 6600
should be assessed an amount equal to the average assessment for corner lots
in Project No. 1969 -5 amounting to $355.05 plus driveway costs of $38.70.
