Director Davis explained that when staff developed the <br />preliminary assessment roll and the benefited area about a year <br />ago, they did not have a physical survey of the end of the road; <br />they now have a map showing the end of the road and Silver Oaks <br />Estates to the north having 100' lineal feet of unpaved road <br />frontage. The assessment roll that was computed earlier defined <br />all of Silver Oaks Estates as in the benefited area. At this <br />time, staff would like to amend that assessment roll and only <br />assess these properties in Silver Oaks Estates and also the 9.7 <br />acre Perkins tract to the south of 16th St. based on the 100' <br />frontage and not on the 323' frontage. That would reduce the <br />assessment to these benefited owners to about $85.42 as opposed <br />to the original $285.00. <br />Commissioner Scurlock commented that, in other words, we <br />would just assess for that 100' unpaved portion and this would <br />assess to all owners in Silver Oaks Estates as well as Mr. <br />Perkins. <br />Director Davis confirmed that was correct and reported that <br />Mr. Perkins' attorney has indicated their agreement that this is <br />an equitable formula. Several owners in Silver Oaks Estates <br />stated they did not feel it was fair for them to be assessed the <br />total frontage, and some of the property owners, not only in <br />Silver Oaks, but in other subdivisions in the area did not feel <br />an assessment was appropriate for the project per se. <br />Commissioner Scurlock emphasized that our intent is to <br />establish a policy which will enable us to assess on a uniform <br />basis throughout the County, and he requested Director Davis to <br />review the history of how we arrived at this formula. <br />Director Davis informed those present that approximately 3 <br />years ago, the County amended the petition paving program for <br />local roads so that a road could be paved if 66.70 of owners in <br />the benefiting area were represented on the petition. Some years <br />ago, we required 1000, and as a result very few roads got paved. <br />The response to the new program has been tremendous. Since this <br />45 <br />MAR 6 195oo FES <br />
