P'ETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS Dickman Knutson, BL14 Development, staters he was concerned with Go amount of his curb and gutter assessment and thinks he should only be charged for those lots whi:h abut Northwest Boul- evard. He doesn't believe the ponding area should be assessed as front footage. The agreement was that he would deed Outlot A to the City. There never was a discu331OPI on the assessment for this outlot so ha assumed that Outlot A would be treated the same as other outlots which were deeded to the City where no assessment was made to his. Mayor Schneider stated the difference is that the City bought the park land in this development and not in the other develop - Manager Willis added that this development has the entire right- of-way for Northwest Boulevard an the west side. He pointed out that the other development was not assesaed because part of It Is on property which has not been platted as yet. Diceotoc Moore stated the development W te.ot states that the cost was to be divided between all the lots. The cost is spread over the entire development and not just those abutting North- west Boulevard All the conditions wera clearly spelled out before the development contract was 31gnev by Mr. Knutson. Mr. Knutson stated that no discussion was eve; held on the assessment for Northwest Boulevard. H000ever, from the begin- ning, Outlot A was to be deeded to the C;ty. He met with City staff before the development contract came to the Council. Hr was told the final plat would be pulled off the agenda it he didn't sign the development contract, so he signed It and believed he could discuss the assessment at a later Council mestIng. Director (bore stated the final plat may have been going to the Council as consent at a study meeting and would have had to be taken oft that meeting and rescheduled for a regular sleeting the next month if the contract had not been signed. The plat and development contract are presented to the Council at the same time. RESOLUTION N0. 88-218 EASEME"T VACATION OUTLOT O, P."KERS LAKE NORTH 2ND ADDN.

Several years ago, the Council approved this area for development and did not budget to extend improvements to this site because the property owner at 'hat time did not want them installed and agreed that, Nie would pay for tinea when they were.

Mayor Schneider stated, in the event that the City's $S million bond limits are exceeded. The City must comply with federal iquirements on investment earnings which limit our Fiscal flex- 10111ty. Because their are some large projects which are expec- ted to proceed this year, this additional project could push the Vlty over that limit.
