The City Consulting Engineer explained the cost of the improvements and how the costs were apportioned. Scott MacDonald, representing David Majeski, said that he was here to object to the assessment for two parcels owned by Mr. Majeski. Mr. MacDonald said the assessments appeared to be far greater than the market value increase of the property after the improvement. Mr. MacDonald further argued that in order to benefit from the sanitary sewer installation, Mr. Majeski would have to split one parcel thereby decreasing the value of the remaining parcel on which the house was located. Councilmember Kimble questioned how the lot at the corner of West Sycamore and North Center and owned by Mr. Majeski was assessed. Mr. Kriesel said the lot was assessed 100% of the front footage, but should have been assessed at 35%. Mr. Kriesel recommended adjusting the assessment roll accordingly. Mr. Kriesel also recommended adopting the assessment roll and to direct the City Attorney to meet with Mr. MacDonald to determine if any further reductions should be made on Mr. Majeski's property. Councilmember Opheim said that George Parker of Form Weavers and owner of the property known as Marvin Gardens had requested that the assessments applicable to Marvin Gardens be apportioned on an equal basis to all lots within Marvin Gardens. This would not increase or decrease the total amount to be assessed. Letters objecting to the special assessments were also received from Oak Glen Corporation and James Dallager. Mayor Abrahamson closed the public hearing. 1 . . .
