Tonkinson, City Engineer Members Absent:. Stephen T. Pudloski, President Others Present: Those indicated on attached attendance sheet The Board held a Public Hearing for the nr000sed pavinc of Clifford Street east of Crawford, Bernard Place from Clifford Street to Isabella Street, and Isabella Street east of Bernard Place, Special Assessment 1370, at 7:30 P.M. in Room 2404 of the Civic Center located at 2100 Ridge Avenue, Evanston, Illinois. In the absence of the President of the Board, the Engineer for the Board chaired the meeting. The Chair called the meeting to order at 7:40 P.M. The Chair introduced the members of the Board, indicating their staff Position with the City and the requirement that they be on the Board and informed those present that the President of the Board had prior commitments and, therefore, in his absence, the Engineer for the Board would chair the meeting. The Chair then explained the purpose for the Board and the need to fol- low state statutes in carrying out the special assessment proceedings. He also explained the mandate of the City Council in 1979 for paving all of the unimproved streets in the City which, at that time, repre- sented approximately fourteen -and -one-half (14.5) miles of streets. He explained the cost -sharing process as put forth by Resolution 72-F-74 which was reaffirmed by the City Council in its mandate of 1979. He described the action taken by the Board and the City Council to date concerning these unimproved streets and indicated that approximately four -and -one-half (4.5) miles of streets remain to be paved. The Chair.then turned the meeting over to Mr. Robert Shonk who explained the special assessment procedures as they relate to collections and bill- ing, Mr. Shonk informed those present of the ability to make payments over a ten-year period do the assessment with 7% simple interest being paid on the unpaid balance annually. He indicated that this project would take approximately forty-five (45) days and would not begin till cr :.lee z-ng of June 3, 1987 - Page • • 0 September. He further indicated that recuest for pavmen- by the Contractor would not be received,uritil the middle of October, there- fore, the interest on the principle would not begin until December L ...sixty (60) days after collection is ordered by the court. He in- dicated that during that period, any portion or all of the assessment, could be paid without interesp. He stated that the first billing for the project would become due on January 2, 1966 and each billing, there afterwould be due on January 2nd of the year. In answer to inquiries, Mr. Shonk stated that the interest on the pay- ments was tax-deductible, however, the principle was not. He also stated that because it is a capital improvement, it is considered to be an improvement to the property and, upon sale of the property, it would affect and increase the property value. in response to a question as to whether the taxes on the property would increase immediately after the.improvement, ur. Shonk stated that the Assessor's Office does not increase taxes on individual properties on an annual basis but that, in the future, as properties are sold and the Assessor's Office determines increased value, taxes on the parcels would most likely increase. There being no further questions concerning the billing and collection procedures, the Engineer for the Board explained the two alternate estimates... that for paving with Bituminous Pavement and with concrete. pavement. He also explained the use of the cost -sharing policy as it relates to the estimates for the project and indicated that the 2/3 Rule would have a direct assessment cost applied of $127.02 for the lowest of the two estimates which is the asphalt paving and, therefore, the $99.00 per assessable foot,_ as determined by use of the Engineers New Record Construction Cost index of 1986, is being used. The Engineer for the Board, with the use of the visual aids present, explained the overall design and answered questions concerning drainage, curbs and gutters, the need to move -one street light, and the manner in which water from the street and the alley would enter the sewer system. He also e= la.ined that 4" restrictors would be placed in the catch basin outlets to retain water in the streets for a short period of time during a heavy storm. He pointed out that one 69" diameter tree is to be removed and that this was requested by the property owner. He stated that Dennis Ceplecha, the City Arborist, had examined the tree and had determined that it was in poor condition and would not survive many more years. In answer to an inquiry, he stated the tree was within the public right-of-way. :inute� of the Boar�_'- of Local Irmprovements for,Meetinc c_` �:ne 3, 1047 - Page 3/ • :•:s. Pr_grun, of 2750 Bernard Place, stated her concern that the paving, wit: the additional drainage structure and sewers, would cause basement looding. The Engineer for the Board and the Superintendent of Water and Sewers, Mr. Figurelli, assured those present that the sewers were adequate and had been cleaned thoroughly and n7'd for any possible problems prior to finalizing the design for this project. A discussion ensued in which the width of the streets were examined. It was pointed out by the Engineer for the Board that the width of Isabella Street, at twenty-four feet (24'), is the maximum that could be reasonably placed within the thirty-four foot (341) right-of-way and that the widths proposed are those which allow for proper service to the streets, indicating that once the streets are paved, the Street Department will provide street sweeping on a regular basis. A discussion took place between Mr. Tom Olkowski, head of the Street Department, Mr. Tonkinson, and the people present concerning snow re- moval operations. Mr. Olkowski explained the manner in which snow would be removed and the necessity for the combination of signs for street sweeping and snow removal with alternate parking. In answer to inquiries, the Engineer for the Board indicated that the only areas where no parking signs would be posted would be at the cul-de-sacs. • A request was made by the property owners adjacent to Clifford Street and the cul-de-sac. Mr. Silins of 3433 Clifford Street and represen- tatives of the Board of Trustees and the Pastor of the Hillside Free Methodist Church, to move the cul-de-sac at that location ten to fif- teen feet (10'-15') west allowing for more parkway between the cul-de- sac and Lovelace Park. A discussion ensued in which the merits of such a change were discussed. There being no further questions concerning the design, the Engineer for the Board, with the use of visual aids, explained the manner and deriva- tion for assessing the effected parcels for the improvement. He explained the use of debt factors and the fact that they were derived at by the National Association of Assessing Officers and have been used in the City for as long as he had been employed, since 1965, and that the factors are used when lots are of different configuration and depths within a block. In response to a question by Brian Marks, the owner of the property at 3612 Old Glenview Road, Mr. Tonkinson indicated that the four parcels on Glenview Road being assessed have access off of Bernard Place by way of a ten foot (101) access easement and that the assessment is an in- direct assessment, not a•direct. The Engineer for the Board then ex- plained the derivation of direct and indirect assessment. for meetinc of June 3, 19E7 - Page 4/ • In answer to an inquiry, the Chair stated that if the people present wish to indicate their preference as it related to the paving of the street, that they could mark the right hand col-=n s of the sign -in sheet after the conclusion of the public hearing. He also stated that this sheet becomes part ofthe _Minutes as well as the .reoort that is presented to the Administration and Public Works Committee. There being no further questions, the Chair had the communication which he received from Bernard A. Doetsch and Thelma M. Doetch of 2735 Bernard Place in opposition to the project due to being on a'fixed income stating a hardship, entered into the record as Exhibit C. Also, communication indicating opposition from Hazel C. Hill, the President of the Board of Trustees of the Hillside Free Methodist Church, 2727 Crawford Avenue, entered into the record as Exhibit D and the corimunicue and petition of three property owners along Isabella in approval of the project entered into the record as Exhibit E. The Chair then requested a motion for action on Special Pssessment 1370. Mr. Figurelli made a motion to amend the design to provide for a move- ment of the cul-de-sac on Clifford Street ten to fifteen feet west and to recommend that the special assessment process proceed and to adhere to the first resolution of the Board as amended. Mr. Clkowski seconded • the motion which passed unanimously. The members of the Board then signed the recommendation and the adhering resolution. The chair informed those present that the report and recom- mendation, along with the ordinance, would be presented to the Acuministra- tion and Public Works Committee at its meeting of June 22, 1987. There being no further business, the Chair adjourned the meeting at 9:44 P.M. � 12 James S. Tonkinson City Engineer JST/ad attch. cc/Joel M.
