Title
Approving Plans, Specifications, And Schedule Of Assessments For Old Middleton Road Assessment District - 2010. (19th AD)
Body
The City of Madison is planning to reconstruct Old Middleton Road from Capital Avenue to Countryside Drive, in cooperation with the City of Middleton. The improvement will replace the existing sub-standard road with a standard pavement section, including crushed aggregate base, asphalt pavement, concrete curb and gutter and concrete sidewalk. The project includes new storm sewer and storm water quality improvements, replacement of water main and services and some repair of sanitary sewer mains.
Due to the unusual topography of the existing road and numerous mature trees in the right of way it is proposed to construct sidewalk on one side of the street only, intended to serve residents on both sides of the street. Therefore it is proposed to assess the cost of sidewalk equally to properties on both sides of the street, regardless of the side of the street on which the sidewalk is constructed. Further, the intention is that if, in the future, sidewalk is constructed on the other side of the street the assessment for such sidewalk will again be shared equally by properties on both sides of the street.
Also, assessments were previously levied for an earlier reconstruction of the street, even though it was not then constructed with an urban cross section. Therefore, it is proposed that the current project assess the full cost of new curb and gutter, sidewalk and concrete driveway aprons, and 50% of the cost of removal and replacement of existing concrete aprons, but that no portion of the asphalt pavement be assessed.
The Board of Public Works and the City Engineer having made reports of all proceedings in relation to the improvement of Old Middleton Road Assessment District - 2010 pursuant to a resolution of the Common Council, RES-09-00954, ID No. 16470, adopted 11/17/2009, which resolution was adopted thereto, and the provisions of the Madison General Ordinances and the Wisconsin Statutes in such case made and provided, and the Common Council being fully advised.

3. That the Common Council determines such special assessments to be reasonable.
4. That the work or improvement be carried out in accordance with the reports as finally approved.
5. That such work or improvement represents an exercise of the police power of the City of Madison.
6. That the plans & specifications and schedule of assessments in the Report of the Board of Public Works and the Report of the City Engineer for the above named improvement be and are hereby approved.
7. That the Board of Public Works be and is hereby authorized to advertise for and receive bids for the said improvements.
8. That the due date by which all such special assessments shall be paid in full is October 31st of the year in which it is billed, or,
9. That such special assessments shall be collected in eight (8) equal installments, with interest thereon at 3.5% per annum, except those special assessments paid in full on or before October 31st of that year.
