General Description
This Assessment District (22-04, Quintana De Oro) is located at 2545 N. Linwood Street Exhibit “A” is a map of Assessment District 22-04. This District includes maintenance of street trees, streetlights, block wall, pavement on local streets, and other applicable equipment or improvements. This District includes the preventive maintenance of all internal local streets by means including, but not limited to overlays, cape seals, crack seals, and reclamite (oiling). The total number of lots within the district is 14 lots.
Determination of Benefit
The purpose of landscaping is to provide an aesthetic impression for the area. The lighting is to provide safety and visual impressions for the area. The maintenance of any landscape areas, streetlights, and streets is vital for the protection of both economic and humanistic values of the development. In order to preserve the values incorporated within developments and to concurrently have an adequate funding source for the maintenance of all internal local streets within the subdivision, the City Council has determined that streetlights, street trees, and all internal local streets should be included in a maintenance district to ensure satisfactory levels of maintenance.
Method of Apportionment
In order to provide an equitable assessment to all owners within the District, the following method of apportionment has been used. All lots in the District benefit equally by the uniform maintenance and overall appearance of the District.
Estimated Costs
The estimated costs to maintain the District includes the costs to maintain streetlights, and pavement on local streets. The regular preventive maintenance of pavement on local streets is based on the following schedule: Reclamite on a 5-year cycle, Crack Seal on a 7-year cycle; Cape Seal on a 15-year cycle and Overlays on a 20 year cycle.
The quantities, estimated costs, and per lot assessment in the “Quintana De Oro” landscape and lighting district are as follows:
Annual Cost Increase
This assessment district shall be subject to an automatic annual increase derived by the following formula:
year “n” assessment = ($9,201.40) (1.05) (n-1)
where “n” equals the age of the assessment district with year one (1) being the year that the assessment district was formed; However, in no case shall the assessment be greater than 1) The actual cost of providing the benefit conferred to each parcel plus any prior years’ deficit and less any carryover, as determined annually or; 2) a 10% increase over the prior year’s assessment.
The reserve fund shall be replenished as necessary to maintain a level of 10% of the estimated maintenance cost so long as the annual assessment change does not exceed the limits identified above.
Example 1) The year four estimated costs are $10,029.53 [a 9% increase over the base year assessment of $9,201.40]. The ceiling on the assessment increase for year four would be $10,651.77 [ceiling = ($9,201.40) (1.05) (4-1)]. The assessment would be set at $10,029.53 or the actual cost of providing the maintenance effort.
Example 2) The year four assessment is estimated at the actual cost of providing the maintenance effort of $10,397.58 [a 7% increase over the previous year assessment and a 13.0% increase over the base year assessment]. The ceiling on the assessment increase for year four would be $10,651.77 [ceiling = ($9,201.40) (1.05) (4-1)]. The assessment would be set at $10,397.58 or the actual cost of providing the maintenance effort because it is less than the ceiling amount and the year-to-year increase is less than the 10% cap on increases in any given year.
Example 3) The year four assessment is $10,029.53 [a 9% increase over the base year assessment $9,201.40] and damage occurred to the masonry wall raising the year five assessment to $12,236.02 [a 22% increase over the previous year assessment]. The year five assessment will be capped at $11,032.48, a 10% increase over the previous year and under the ceiling of $11,184.36 [ceiling = ($9,201.40) (1.05) (5-1)]. The difference of $1,203.54 will be recognized as a deficit and carried over into future years’ assessment.
