Valuation �ngineer D�LTE: May 3, 1965 � � SUBJECTs Gradfng of Ross Avenue bet�reen Hazel�rood and Germafn ' S'�reets and constructing a sewer required to serve � abt�tting frnntages. Both of these orders come before the Council on the petitions of three abutting property owners. The original estimates of the costs on these pro,jects were' based on our usual formulas for assessing corrier lots and reducing the assessable frontages for lots which�are substantially belov the proposed street grade. These formUl.as res�].ted in the folloWin� estimated rates per assess- able foot: , Crrading - �17.00 Se�aer - � 9•3� The four cosners ia this block have been developed so as to face Hazelwood and Germain Streets, an.d the outstanding s�otices restil.ted ia protests from these owners that they were being assessecl exces- sively for the development in the central area of the block which req�ires considerable cut aad fi11 to provide a usable street grade. The ground con�onrs in this area are vnusually erratic and, in gen- eral, conld be described as a gradnaZ rise commencing at HazelWOOd Street and ending in a knoll �rhich is approxima.tely 12 feet above the grade of Hazelwood, and then dropping abruptly to a grade about 10 feet beloW the grade of Hazelwood and 25 feet below the grade of Germain �treet. Interior lo�s, represen�ing about 340 feet of frontage, will be approximately 1!� feet be1oW the grade of future Ross Street. The proposed grading would consist of removing the present rise in grade and the knoll ar�d using the material to fill the valley sec- tion. This, of course, would result in a cut approxima�ing 12 feet in the knoll section of the present terrain. .$.fter further study of the problem and viewing the area in question, I �rould recommend a depart�re from the nsual formulas for assessing. improvements of this type and that the following formu].as agply: 1. that the corner lots �hose loc�g sides abut the pro_ posed improveme�t be assessed �0� of the actual front- age instead of the usual formula of 50;� of the actual frontage, restricted to a depth of 125 feet; \� � �� 3 � - ; 7� 6 Cr rRay 26,�965 Grege Beckett St. Paul Fublic ��orks Dept.

These fot�tulas wonld result in the folloHing estimated rates per assessable foot: - Grading - ��1l�.25 � Szwer - � 7•28 The revised formulas are saggested onl� because botY� of �hese orders are unique aad present development problems. The petitioners are the o�rners of practically all of the low-lying lots and should recog- nize that the primary benefit is to the low-lyi�g properties. In order that the property owners may be advised as to the basis on which the hearir�q is held, I wot�l.d fnrther recommend that these mat- ters and the hearing on the slope easements be laid over to the lst � '- ' day of Jvne, 1965, vith new notices to be sent to the property owners. �� - - • } - � . - a. - - . - , , _ � _ .. , . � _ ` ' - � :. � - _;;, _ - - - . • ` - - • �
