Horizon Hill LID option mapped; committee hears $1M estimate and 74 properties affected
Summary
Public works presented maps and a preliminary Local Improvement District (LID) plan for Horizon Hill, identifying about 74 properties that could be assessed; the committee discussed a roughly $1,000,000 project estimate (about $14,000 per property amortized) and mechanics for liens, semiannual payments and potential developer incentives.
Public works presenter Dave (S7) showed maps and a property inventory for Horizon Hill and Spruce Street and said the area lacks sewer service for many parcels. Dave identified about 74 properties that could share the benefit of paving, sewer and water improvements under a Local Improvement District (LID) and showed a priority list of patching and paving needs.
Committee members and staff discussed order-of-magnitude costs. The group cited a rough $1,000,000 cost for full sewer and paving work to serve the upper area; staff estimated an average assessment in a ballpark example of about $14,000 per property if the cost were amortized, with financing and interest added. Administrative staff described existing LID payment mechanics (semiannual payments, liens and options to collect at sale). Members emphasized the need for clear cost/benefit messaging for affected property owners and noted staged approaches could reduce near-term costs but might increase long-term expense due to mobilization and inflation.
