Corner Lot Assessments Set Under New City Ordinance
Corner lots ten will be affected by a new assessment plan approved by the council. The ordinance, effective July 16, shifts costs for corner street improvements, with the city funding 60 percent on single dwelling lots and 40 percent on two dwelling lots, under a four area zoning system. About 11 000 corner lots will benefit, reducing future street costs while not retroactive to ongoing or completed projects. Jennell Clerk Earl Hafer explained the measure aims to speed up work and limit injunctions tied to corner paving.
