Sommerfroind property is the same size as the Tri Partner property, so there is equity in the <br />assessment being based on square footage. He explained that staff elected to assess by <br />square footage on this project mainly to benefit those lot owners who have smaller lots but <br />have double frontage on 10* Street and 19'h Avenue. This method has been used many times <br />in the past. Lot 1, at the corner of Oslo Road and 20'h Avenue SW, was not included in the <br />assessment since it has no frontage on either 19th Avenue or 10'h Street. It was not included <br />in the assessment because staff could not justify a benefit. This is a business area and if the <br />sections of road are not paved, then the paved roads would be deteriorated and it would <br />be difficult to maintain the unpaved sections.
