SUBJECT: For Council Consent Agenda on May 26, 2009, Waiver of Procedure for Special
Assessments for storm sewer, sidewalk and street lighting charges for:

Staff Recommendation
The Engineering Division recommends approving this item along with other consent agenda
items.
Request
Jack Willow Investments requests to waive the special assessment procedure for Subdivision
Plat – Willow Glade and allow these assessments the use of the 5-year payment plan.
Background
The final subdivision plat creating new lots requires payment of land division assessments for
storm sewer, sidewalk and street lighting. The storm sewer charges are based upon the rate
of $9,290.00 per acre over the entire area of the subdivision. The sidewalk and street light
charges are based upon an estimate of installation costs by the Engineering Division.
The developer has requested to waive the special assessment procedure. Land division
assessments are eligible for use of the 5-year payment plan. Henry Londo of Jack Willow
Investments, the developer, has signed the necessary waiver document agreeing to the
assessments and allowing the charges to be spread over five years with interest at 7.00% on
the unpaid balance.
Willow Glade will be presented to the Council on May 26, 2009, with approval of the plat
recommended by the Plan Commission. The proposed waiver must be approved before the
subdivision plat can be signed and recorded.
