#1 Authorize 10 year non-use deferment for 3410 Newcastle Drive (File Res. #2011-848)CLERK-TREASURER’S OFFICE MEMORANDUM
October 14, 2011
TO: City Council
FROM: Jean Ann Wulf, City Clerk-Treasurer
SUBJECT: A proposed resolution authorizing an additional 10 year non-use
deferment on the property located at 3410 Newcastle Dr.
(File Resolution No. 2011-848)
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council deny an additional 10 year non-use
deferment on the property located at 3410 Newcastle Dr.
City Manager Recommendation
It is my understanding that the City has not approved this in the past and thus
concur with the Clerk-Trasurer’s recommendation.
Suggested Motion
I move to deny Resolution No. 2011-848 which authorizes an additional 10 year
non-use deferment on the property located at 3410 Newcastle Dr.
Analysis
Marklein Builders contacted the City concerning their special assessments on
3410 Newcastle Drive. In 2001, Marklein Builders was assessed $16,984.21 for
curb, gutter and paving for this property. At that time, the Council granted a 10
year non-use deferment. The deferment has expired and the special
assessments are now current and can be paid in full or placed on the 5 year
payment plan.
Marklein Builders has requested that the curb, gutter and paving be granted a
second 10 year non-use deferment for this property.
In addition to this deferment, Marklein Builders also received a 10 year non-use
deferment for water, sewer, grade and laterals in the amount of $20,036 for this
same property. This deferment came due in 2010 and was placed on the 5 year
payment plan. Marklein Builders has been paying for these assessments and
the current principal balance is $14,545.
In researching deferments, the Council has not extended non-use deferments.
The Council has allowed financial hardship deferments and allowed changes
from 5 year to 10 year payment plans with interest.
Staff is not recommending this deferment because the property owner already
received a 10 year non-use deferment without interest. In addition, the Council
may not want to set a precedent for future requests.
