ALLEY CONSTRUCTION
I
Description of proposed improvement project:
The project consists of alley construction in the 6300 block between Dupont Avenue South
and Colfax Avenue South in the City of Richfield. The proposed alley improvement would
be constructed perpendicular to and north of the existing alley. The City has prepared the
plans and specifications for this project.
Need for the proposed improvement:
Mr. George C. Holter and Mrs. Marilyn S. Holter have requested the proposed
improvement by petition. The improvement will provide public access to their property at
6305 Dupont Avenue South.
The cost and feasibility of the proposed improvement:
The estimated contract cost for the proposed alley improvement is $12,758.39 based on
an engineer's estimate. The City of Richfield will assess 100 percent of these charges to I
the adjacent property owned by petitioners Mr. and Mrs. Holter. The project is necessary,
cost effective and feasible and should be constructed as proposed and not in connection
with some other improvement.
Assessment amount and methodology
The amount to be specially assessed is a maximum of $12,758.39, which is 100 percent of
the estimated cost. It is proposed that the special assessment be levied for collection with
the Holter's real estate taxes beginning in the year 2004.
