Explanation
This resolution declares the intention of the City to initiate a special assessment for the construction of sanitary sewer improvements to an existing, unsewered residential area along Lockbourne Road from SR 104 to Watkins Road and portions of Evergreen Road and Koebel Road. The installation of this sanitary infrastructure is further declared necessary to eliminate groundwater pollution concerns caused by failing, existing on-site sewage systems that have been documented by the Columbus Health Department. Unlike past sanitary sewer assessment projects, this project is not the result of a valid petition initiated by the property owners. The residential area to be included within this special assessment project include: 23 parcels on Lockbourne Road (which include 5 vacants); 13 parcels on Koebel (which includes 3 vacants); 24 parcels on Evergreen Road (which include 4 vacants). A total of 60 parcels (12 of which are vacant) are involved in the assessment area.
This preliminary resolution is required by Section 166 of the City Charter for purposes of establishing the method of assessment, the mode of payment, the number of annual installments, and the portion of the cost to be borne by the City. This resolution further provides a description of the lots and lands to be assessed, and approves the plans, specifications, estimates and profiles for the proposed improvements. Upon adoption of this resolution, the Division of Sewerage and Drainage shall file with the City Clerk an Assessment Report. This report will list the estimated assessment amount for each lot, the name of the property owner, and the Franklin County Auditor's Parcel Number. The City Clerk will than issue individual notices to each property owner informing them of their estimated assessment in accordance with Section 170 of the City Charter.
