SUBJECT: City of Farmington Assessment Policy
DATE: February 11, 1998
INTRODUCTION
The City of Farmington, through the adoption of its Capital Improvement Program, has shown a
commitment to replace and upgrade the City's deteriorating infrastructure. The key to following
through on that commitment is formulating a financial plan that will enable the City to pay for
upgrading the deteriorating infrastructure. One of the City's options to help fund improvements is
through Special Assessments, as outlined in Minnesota Statute 429.
In the past, the City's Assessment Policy (see attached) has been applied to a project and the
resulting proposed assessments were higher than the appraised benefit to the property owners. In
that situation, the assessments could be challenged in a court of law and possibly overturned.
Council has requested this workshop to discuss the City's Assessment Policy and determine if
changes need to be made in order for the Council to be able to use the Chapter 429 process more
effectively.
DISCUSSION
1. Review of existing City Policy
The main area of concern regarding special assessments is when improvements are constructed in
existing developments. Improvements in new developments are currently constructed by the
developer and the costs are passed on to the individual lots in the development. In the City's current
policy, there are two main categories of improvements, new improvements and replacement of
existing facilities. In the policy, new improvements are assessed 100% to the benefiting properties.
The cost of replacing existing facilities is split with the benefiting properties sharing in 35% of the
costs and the City participating in 65% of the costs. Trunk facilities and seal coating are handled
differently as outlined in the policy.
Attached for the Council's review is a survey of Assessment Policies from other communities.

2. Special Assessments on Reconstruction Projects - Dialogue
There are several aspects of specially assessing reconstruction projects that have bearing on the
discussion regarding the Assessment Policy.
· Benefit to property - How Street, Sewer, Water and Storm Sewer affect the material value of the
benefiting property owners.
· The use of Special Assessments vs. Tax Levies - Why Special Assessments are a more efficient
methodology for funding projects than tax levies.
a) City tax rate effects
b) Individual Benefit
c) Non-taxable properties
d) Those specially assessed pay only a percentage of the project costs
· Special Assessments as a revenue source for road and utility reconstruction. If Special
Assessments are not used, where will funding come from to underwrite project costs?
3. Existing concern on Reconstruction Projects
Previous projects and the assessments calculated for them (per the City's Policy) have raised
concern, and in some cases the project has been discontinued due to concerns over calculated
assessments that exceeded appraised benefit.
· What if Special Assessments (per policy) exceed the appraised value of benefit to property?
· How to deal with the political implications of a controversial Special Assessment Project.
· Should the use of appraisals determining benefit establish the assessment cap?
· Implications of decreasing Special Assessment percentages on street and utility reconstruction
costs to benefiting properties.
a) Increase in utility rates
b) Increase in tax levies
c) Increase in proportionate share from special revenue funds
'.
..
4. Implications of No Action on Reconstruction Projects
The implications of not addressing deteriorating infrastructure are clear and thus the City has
formulated a Capital Improvement Program that includes reconstruction projects. It is difficult now
to financially plan for these projects, however, it will be much more so in the future if the
deteriorating infrastructure is left unattended and level of service declines, property values go down
and maintenance costs become financially prohibitive.
BUDGET IMPACT
The budget impacts of amending the Assessment Policy or discontinuing its use altogether will be
part of the workshop discussion.
RECOMMENDATION
This memo is presented for consideration by the Council regarding the use of the City's Assessment
Policy.
Respectfully submitted,

I!\'7RODUCT!O~
This document sets forth the methods a~d policies relating to local
improvements and special assessments practiced in the City of Farmington.
It is emphasized that the following su~~arization is general in nature and
that certain circumstances may justify deviations from stated policy as
determined by the City Council.
A local improvement involves one or more of the following types of
improvements:
Roadway grading and base
Bituminous surfacing
Curb and gutter
Sidewalks and driveways
Water trunks and laterals
Sanitary sewer tru~ks a~d laterals
Service connections
Storm sewer tr~nks and laterals
All appropriate appurte~ances associated with the above
Improvements are classified as follows:
1. New Developments - The construction of improvements related to newly
developed areas, normally made in conj~~ction with the plat approval
process.
2. Rehabilitation - Comolete or nartial reconstruction of the
abovementioned improvements including bituminous overlays.
3. Extensions - Construction of improvements generally made to extend
services to a certain area. Extensions normally pertain to water,
sanitary sewer and storm sewer trur_~s and limited access streets.
The special assessment is a financing tool employed by the City as a means
to allocate the cost of specific improvements to benefitted properties and
to spread those costs over a number of years.
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429 re~~lates the procedure for the construction
and financing of local improvement projects when at least part of the cost
is defrayed by special assessments. Special assessments are collected from
the property owner along with real estate taxes. When an improvement is of
benefit to certain areas, it is the intent of the Council that special
assessments be levied against benefitted properties. A major goal of this
document is that special assessments be allocated and levied in an
equitable and consistent manner.
"

.
SECTIC~ II
GENERAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
The following are general principles, policies and procedures applicable to
all types of improvement:
1. Project costs shall include the cost of all necessary construction work
required to accomplish the improvement, plus engineering, legal,
financing, easement acquisition, fees or charges and contingent costs.
2. Assessable costs are project costs minus the City share, County share
and other credits. MSA funds will not be credited.
3. Special assessments will be levied as soon as practical. Normally this
will be within one year after completion of the project.
4. Pursuant to M.S. Chapter 429.051, the City does not defer assessments
to benefitted areas outside of the City, but rather assumes any non-
assessable cost as the City share. When property is annexed and served
by the original improvement, the City can create a new assessment to be
reimbursed for all or any portion of the prior assumed municipal costs,
including interest, related to the improvement.
5. Publicly owned properties, including municipal building sites, schools,
parks, State and Federal building sites, but not including public
streets and alleys, are regarded as being assessable on the same basis
as if such property were privately owned.
.
SECTION III
SPECIFIC POLICIES
proiect Initiation and Hearincr Process
This section intends to describe the initiation of improvement projects and
the administration required to final Council action, pursuant to the
requirements of MSA 429.
A. Project Initiation
1. By Petition: Petitions for initiating improvements will be prepared by
City staff upon request. Such petitions, circulated by
the affected owners should bear the si~atures of the property owners of
35% of the benefitted property. Petitions may be requested and submitted
at any time. The normal time required for receiving, processing,
scheduling hearings and preparing construction documents is six months.
Projects for petitions received after February 1 will not be scheduled
until the construction season of the following year.
2. By Council Action: If the Council determines that an improvement is in
the best interest of the City, it can, without
petition, initiate the improvement.
3. By 100% Signed petition: When a petition is signed by 100% of the
property owners benefitted by the
improvement, and there is no City cost participation, the Council m~y order
the improvement without holding an improvement hearing.
4. By Developers Agreement: Improvement projects for new development will
only be considered upon execution of a
developers agreement signed by 100% of the benefitted property owners. The
Council may order the project without a public hearing.
B. Hearing Process
~
1. Improvement Hearing: After a petition is filed and its adequacy
determined, or the Council initiates the project,
the City Engineer is directed to study and report as to the feasibility of
the improvement. If after reviewing tte report, the Council feels the
project has merit, a public hearing is scheduled, notice published twice,
and all persons benefitted by the project notified in writing.
When an improvement project is to be fi~anced by the sale of improvement
bonds, there is a statutory requirement that at least 20% of the total
costs of the project be assessed against the benefitted property.
If after the improvement hearing, at which all persons are heard, the
Council feels that the project still has merit, then the Council will
authorize the preparation of neces'sary ?lans and specifications, and upon
".
.
receipt and acceptance of those plans, will authorize the advertisement for
bids by resolution.
C. Final Hearing (Assessment)
After the improvement is ordered and bids received, or the improvement is
completed or nearing completion, a roll will be prepared and the affected
property owners will be mailecr a Notice of Assessment Hearing stating the
time and date that an assessment hearing will be held. An assessment roll
will be prepared and will be posted at the City Clerk's office for review
prior to the assessment hearing. All interested parties shall have an
opportunity to be heard regarding the assessment.
Necessary and proper adjustment to the assessment roll can be made by
Council at the time the hearing is being held. If an appeal is made
regarding the amount of the special assessment, written notice must be
filed with the Council prior to or at the assessment hearinq.
After the hearing, the assessment roll is adopted by the Council. The
property owners have a 30 day period in which to pay their assessment in
part or in full at the City Hall, interest free. After this period, the
assessment begins to accumulate interest. On or about October 10th of each
year, the assessment roll is certified to the County Auditor's office where
it is added to the tax roll for the following year.
The assessment shall be levied over a period to be established by the City
Council, in equal annual installments on the principal with interest on the
declining balance. The annual interest rate shall also be established by
the City Council upon the sale of the improvement bonds.

SECTION V
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS IN ~~W DEVELOPMENTS
General Procedures and Policies
City Code reauires execution of a developer's agreement at the time of land
platting. The developer's agreement normally references means and methods
of providing for public improvement cc~struction.
As a standard, the City of Farmington has pursued policies by which all
costs of improvement are directly attributable and fully paid by cost
allocation or assessments against the development, developer or properties
requiring and benefiting by the improvement. The policies are established
with the intent that no developmental ccsts are incurred by existing lots
or parcels, by the existing residents, cr by the City in general. The
exception is for improvements which are determined to have an area wide
benefit which exceeds the scope of the development.
At the time of platting, the cost respcnsibilities for any development for
trunk improvements shall be defined. This responsibility includes trunk
sanitary sewer facilities, trunk water facilities (including source,
supply, storage and distribution components), storm water drainage and
c.ontrol facilities, arterial street, park dedication, pedestrian walkway
systems and other public improvements, existing or proposed, of an area
wide benefit. Normally the City will require a cash payment by the
developer for the development's share of improvements of an area wide
benefit, however, it may be assessed equally against each parcel of
property over a 10 year period with interest set at
1 1/2% over the prime rate at the execution of the development agreement as
stated in the Wall Street Journal. The amount to be determined annually by
resolution of the City Council.
At the time of platting, the development agreement may provide details on
construction and timing of local or lateral improvements of various nature
for the benefit and improvement of the individual properties ~s required by
the Farmington Subdivision Ordinance. .
.
Minor arterial and collector streets shall be assessed, or the developer
shall be charged in accordance with Secticn VII of this policy.
City Improvement Financinc and Construction
As a general policy, the City of Farmi~gton will assist developers in the
financing and construction of public i~prcvements through authority granted
to the City by Chapter 429 of Mi~~esota Statutes. Such assistance is
granted by specific Council action for each development proposal based on
perception by the Council of the projec~, viability, and development
benefit to the City. The City may elec~ to sell bonds for such improvement
and assess the costs of bond retirement against individual benefitted land
parcels for a period of repayment as seen appropriate.
"
~ically, the total project costs for improvements oenefit~ng the
development will be assessed on a~ e~~al basis against all buildable lots
in the development.
For such City assessed developments and improvements, the City, through the
development agreement, requires a cash deposit, letter of credit or escrow
agreement equal to a minimum of 2 years principle and interest paYment on
project costs to protect the City from potential project default, and
requires assessment paYment concurrent with building permit issuance. For
such City assisted projects, ~~e City ~ngineer provides design,
construction supervision and assessment certificate services, and other
City staff provides legal, fiscal and administrative input. The standard
form for such agreement is found in Appendix____ and incorporated as part
of this policy.
Public Imorovement Work tv Private Develooers
No public improvements may take place before a developer's agreement has
been executed. The standard form for such agreement is found in Appendix
___ and incorporated as part of this policy.
A private developer may have his plans prepared by other than City forces
under the following conditions:
1. All plans, drawings, specifications and related documents required
shall be prepared by a professional engineer, registered in the State
of Minnesota and approved by the City.
2. The developer must keep the City informed as to the time table of
development and design, the letting date of a construction contract,
and the starting date of construction work.
3. In order to warrant the constructien for the life expectancy as
previously set forth, the City will previde inspection of all phases of
construction as set forth in the ce~tract documents.
4. The City of Farmington may perform construction surveys, staking.and
other engineering services when requested by the contractor or .
developer. The City will also assist the contractor in interpretation
of the contract documents, ordinances, codes and other items necessary
to meet the criteria as established by the City of Farmington.
s. No public improvement work shall be performed by any developer or other
private party in City right of way or easement unless a developer's
agreement has been executed.
6. The City will require a surety depcsit of 125% of the estimated project
costs in the form of cash, escrow depesit, certified check or
irrevocable letter of credit.
The City and its representatives shall at all times have access to the work
in order to complete the services as herein provided, and the developer
shall give the City timely notice of his readiness for inspections or other
,-
work to be rendered. Permits, licenses and easements or permanent changes
in existing facilities shall be secured and paid for by the developer.
The developer shall be charged for these services, and the value of the
services shall be determined on a percentage basis as agreed upon by the
developer and the City before the project is started. The fee for plan
review and City administration is set annually by resolution of the City
Council. All inspection costs will be billed on an hourly basis.
.
Upon proper completion of sanitary sewers, storm sewers, water mains, curb
and gutter, roadway base, surfacing and sidewalk by the developer, the City
will accept said improvements by resolution under a one (1) year guarantee
to the City.

SECTION VI
IMPROVEMENTS IN EXISTING DEVELOPMENTS
I. Goal
It is the goal of this section to equalize assessments for public
improvements as much as practical. Assessments will be generally based on
a per unit basis as opposed to area or front footage. Because of the
various characteristics associated wit~ different sections of the City, it
may be necessary for the Council to adjust the policy in order to achieve a
more equitable assessment.
II. Initiation
Public improvements may be initiated by petition pursuant to MS Chapter 429
or by Council action.
III. Assessa91e Costs
A. Project costs for the following improvements shall be assessed on a pro
rated basis:
1. Street Base and Bituminous Reolacement
2. Curb and Gutter Replacement -
3. Sanitary Sewer Lateral Replacement
4. Sanitary Sewer Service Replacement
5. Water Lateral Replacement
6. Water Service Replacement
7. Storm Sewer Replacement
8. New Sidewalk and Sidewalk Replacement
9. New Driveway Apron and Driveway Apron Replacement
10. New Sanitary Sewer Lateral Enh~~cing Existing System
11. New Water Lateral Enhancing Existing System
12. New Storm Sewer Lateral Er~ancing Existing System
13. New Trees, Tree Replacement and Sod
...
C. The followirig improvements shall be 100% assessed:
1. New Sanitary Service LinEs
2. New Water Service Lines
"
3. New Water Main Laterals
4. New Sanitary Sewer Laterals
S. New Storm Sewer Laterals
6. Driveways
7. New Street, Curb, Gutter and Driveway Aprons

IV. Typical Method of Assessment
A. Assessments shall be based on the following method:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
NOTE:
Services - per service unit
Street/Curb/Gutter - per building unit
Sanitary Sewer - per building unit
Water - per building unit
Storm Sewer - per building unit
Sidewalks - per building unit
Driveways - (including apron area)
Trees/Sod - per building unit
. Seal Coating - per building unit
- Service units are the actual number of service lines extended to the
property.
Building units are defined as the number of buildable lots possible by
reasonably subdividing based on minimum lot requirements of the City
Zoning Ordinance and existing development. Such determination will be
made at the project hearing. The Co~~cil shall take the shape of the
lots, location and condition of buildings and the likelihood of th~
property splitting into consideration when determining the number o~
lots.
- Service lines will be installed to the maximum number of potential lots.
- Lots exceeding 125' will be assessed on a per foot basis for seal coating
projects.
B. Assessments shall be based on the nu~ber of affected units within each
improvement district. For the purpose of this section, the following
rules shall apply:
1. Assessable Improvements, except sanitary sewer, minor arterial and
collector streets.
a. Improvements abutting predominantly short sides - Actual building
units in the improvement district.
b. Improvements abutting lots with predominantly long sides - To
midpoint. (If the improvement area long side lots abut only one
assessable street, all building units within the entire improvement
area shall be assessed.)
2. Sanitary Sewer Improvements
a. Improvements abutting predominantly platted short sides - Actual
building units within the entire improvement area.
b. Improvements abutting lots wit~ predominantly long sides - City
pays 100% of the project.
* NOTE: If 20% or less of the front footage of a lot abuts the improvement
or falls within the midpoint of an improvement district, it shall
not be assessed. If 80% or more of a lot abuts the improvement or
falls within the midooint of a~ imorovement district, it shall be
assessed one building unit. Lots which abut between 20% - 80% of
an improvement area or within the midpoint of an improvement area
shall be assigned a service ~~it on a pro rated basis.
3. Driveways and Driveway Aprons
a. Aprons shall be replaced in conjunction with curb and gutter
replacement.
b. Driveways between the apron and property line shall be replaced as
determined by the City Engineer. Driveway replacement beyond the
property line shall not be made unless written consent is given by
the property owner. No driveway replacement shall be made until
the owner is notified, in writing, as to the section of driveway to
be replaced, new width and estimated assessable cost. A copy of
the notification shall be initialed by the Owner and kept on file
4. Minor arterial and collector streets shall be assessed in
accordance with Section VII of this policy.
.
.
5. Storm Sewer Improvements
a. Total assessable (lateral) storm sewer project cost shall be
divided by the actual number of buildable lots within the
drainage area. The resultant shall be multiplied by the number
of buildable lots determined for each individual property
owner. The percentage of Each owner's buildable lot(s) that
are actually drained by the project is then multiplied by this.
assessment amount. Tte resultant shall be the owner's storm
sewer assessment.
C. Method of PaYment (Interest on the assessments will begin accruing from
the date of the adoption of the assessment roll.)
1. The owner may pay the entire or partial amount of assessment within
30 days of adoption of the assessment roll without interest. The
remaining amount shall be paid in equal principal installments
(typically 10 years) plus interest as determined by the Council
(typically 1.5% above the net interest rate of the bond issue) .
Annual paYments will be remittEd with the property taxes. An owner
may payoff the assessments in full at any time, but will be
charged the entire year's interest.
V. Assessment of Sanitary Sewer to Unserviced Areas
1. All improvements, except sanitary sewer mains and services, shall be
assessed in accordance with Section IV.
2. Sanitary sewer mains and services shall be apportioned in accordance
with Section IV but may be offered a credit of up to 50% of the
proposed sanitary sewer assessment upon inspection and certification by
a City contracted inspector that the septic system has been constructed
and maintained in accordance with current Minnesota Rules 7080
regulations or may be offered a credit of up to 25% of the proposed
sanitary sewer assessment upon inspection and certification by a City
contracted inspector that the septic system is an older system that
does not meet the letter of Mi~~esota Rules 7080, but could reasonably
be modified to meet the current criteria of Minnesota Rules. 7080.
Systems which shall not be issued a credit are cesspools or seepage
pits without both drainfields and adequate soils, or systems where raw,
untreated sewage has been observed pooling at the surface, running down
slopes, or discharging directly to surface or underground waters.
The owner shall agree to pay 50% of the cost of this inspection before
the inspection is made, which shall be paid to the City before the
inspection is performed.
.
3. Property owners will be required to pay a fee equal to the appor~ioned
cost plus accrued interest as determined by the City Council at the
time of hookup to the sanitary sewer.
4. Property owners will be required to co~~ect to the system and pay such
fees upon failure of the septic system to meet Federal, State or local
laws.
SECTION VII
IMPROVEMENTS ON LIMITED ACCESS STREETS
(Minor Arterials and Collectors)
The City recognizes that while property abutting minor arterials or
collectors does not receive the total benefit of a minor arterial or
collector because of limited access, the property does nonetheless receive
benefit. It is determined that abutting properties which have been platted
and which access an alternative street receive marginal benefit and,
therefore, are not assessed. Unplatted prc?erty or property having direct
access to a limited access street shall be assessed as follows:
A. Extension
1) As part of proposed subdivision:
100% of the assessable costs oer Section VI, Part 3 shall be assessed
to the owner of the improved frontage (50% per side). Non-improved
frontage, to a depth of 1000 feet, shall be assessed at a prorated
basis of 25%. One half of the assessment would be assessed at the end
of the project, while one half would be deferred until access or
connections to the improvements were made by the property owner. Said
total assessable cOpts shall be multiplied by the unimproved frontage
and divided by the total frontage of the project.
2) Without proposed subdivision:
Assessed equally on both sides to a depth of 1000 feet, shall be
assessed at a prorated basis of 25%. One half of the assessment would
be assessed at the end of the project; while one half would be
deferred until access or connections to the improvements were made by
the property owner. Said total assessable costs shall be multiplied by
the unimproved frontage and divided by the total frontage of the
project.
B. Rehabilitation/Upgrade
~
Assessments shall be on a per homesite/buildable unit basis and/or lineal
foot of non-improved frontage to a depth of 1000 feet.
Any residential dwellings or businesses having direct access to said
limited access street shall be assessed equally, on a per buildable unit
basis. 150 lineal feet will be designated as frontage for said buildable
units.
Non-improved frontage, to a depth of 1000 feet, with or without an included
residential dwelling, shall be assessed e~~ally, on a per lineal foot
basis. The assessable costs shall include the improvements included under
Section VI, Part III.
35% shall be used to prorate the assessable cost under Part III of Section
VI for the buildable units. The applicable total assessable costs shall be
multiplied by the front per buildable unit and divided by the total
frontage for the project.
25% shall be used to prorate the assessment costs under Part III of Section
VI for the unimproved frontage. One half of the assessment would be
assessed at the end of the project, while one half would be deferred until
access or connections to the improvements were made by the property owner.
Said total assessable costs shall be multiplied by the unimproved frontage
and divided by the total frontage of the project.
