Closes the benefit hearing, and 2. Levies the assessments as proposed, and 3. Acknowledges that in each case the abutting property is specially benefitted in enhanced value in excess of the amount assessed for the improvement of Avenue "J" from Beach Street to Vaughn Boulevard. DISCUSSION: The 1986 Capital Improvement Program included funds for the improvement of Avenue "J" from Beach Street to Vaughn Boulevard. The street is in the Polytechnic Target Area and has never previously been constructed to City standards. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds will provide a portion of the construction cost. One and two-family residences will not be assessed. Avenue "J" will be constructed with standard concrete pavement. Standard concrete driveways and sidewalks will be built where shown on the plans. On July 2, 1991 (M&C G-9209), the City Council established August 20, 1991, as the date of the benefit hearing. Notice was given in accord with Article 1105b, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes. An independent appraiser has provided a report that documents the enhancement to property values which results from the improvements. Based on standard City policy, the City Engineer's estimate, and the advice of the independent appraiser, the division of estimated construction cost is: A, r Property4owrrers' share of cost City'.s;share~~of cost Total cost $ 74,893.50 ( 15%) $431,106.50 (85%) $506,000.00 (100%) •~ . , ...
