This improvement was completed in conjunction with the 1991-92 Street Resurfacing Program. Backqround The City's policy is to assess commercial and residential property owners for certain public works improvements using the Improvement Act of 1911. These include gutter construction, street and alley paving, tree planting and streetlighting. On November 12, 1991, City Council approved the formation of an assessment district for the reconstruction and appurtenant work on Lincoln Court between Olympic Boulevard and Michigan Avenue. Lincoln Court was in extremely poor condition along the full length of the alley containing numerous irregularities and potholes. There was also a drainage problem due to the extremely flat grade of the alley. Due to the extent of the needed - 1 - 6-F . . \'3" -J - ----- -- repairs, patching was not feasible. Thus, reconstruction was required. The reconstruction of Lincoln Court consisted of grading and replacing the existing deteriorated asphalt paving with new concrete paving. The life of the new concrete alley is estimated to be in excess of 50 years. On November 22, and December 5, 1991 notices of the public hearing was posted and mailed in accordance with state law to all affected property owners. The public hearing was held on December 17, 1991 and after closing the public hearing, Council ordered the work to commence. The street construction was completed in conjunction with an annual street improvement project and property owner assessments are now due. A public hearing to confirm the assessment of costs must be held pursuant to section 5882 of the California streets and Highways Code. The attached resolution sets the public hearing for 6:30 p.m. on March 23, 1993. All affected property owners will be notified of the public hearing date and the assessment amount at least forty five days prior to the public hearing. A list of property owners and assessments amounts will be available to Council at the time of the public hearing. Discussion The Lincoln Court assessment is similar to a streetlighting assessment. Industrial and commercial property owners are assessed 100% of the cost per footage, $67.25 per lineal foot. Residential property owners will be assessed 50% of the cost per footage, $33.63 per lineal foot, with the city paying an equal - 2 - - share. The sharing of costs is related to the proportionate amount of wear and tear caused by vehicles from the commercial properties as compared to less wear and tear caused by residential properties. The residential owners share will range from $1,680 to $3,700/lot. A similar alley assessment project was completed in 1985, on Ozone Place North where property owners were assessed for a portion of the costs. BUdget/Financial Impact The total cost of this project is $38,450 which includes the City's contribution and staff time, engineering, surveying, posting and mailing of notices, construction management and inspection time. It is calculated that $29,163 will be generated from property owner assessments for this street reconstruction: Commercial and industrial property owner assessments $ 19,875 Residential property owner assessments 9,288 Total owner assessments $ 29,163 The total cost of this project, including the City's share, has been charged to CIP Account No. 01-770-421-20092-8900-99152, "street Repair/Resurfacing". Cash revenues will be received in FY 1992-93 and any unpaid assessments will be placed on the 1993-94 property tax roll by the Los Angeles county Assessor's Office. Revenues will be deposited in Account Number 01-500-401-00000-0124-10000, II street Resurfacing Assessment District.
