Dear Mr .� N� s. Skirmer :
Thank you for coming in to meet with me recently to discuss the development
of your property. I wauld lik.e to �+�r�e the proposal that we believe
to be consistent with actual City costs: .
1. The total street and utility assess�ent for the 11 lots developed by
l�. Briclm�s in 1982 was $179,554 or $16,323 per lot (see attached
Sum�y of Proposal) .
�. The attached sketch indicates a method of subdividing yaur property
withaut exte�d.ing Ben More Drive to create six lots fror�ting on
Heather Place. If you wish to retain Ir�t 2 far ya� existing home,
five of the six lots wrnild be available for you to develop.
3. If the �179,554 1982 asses�nt had been equally divided �no�ng Mr.
Briclazer's 11 lots and your 5 lots, the cost per lot wauld have
been $11,222, totaling $56,110 for yaur five lots.
4. The fo� year accn�ed interest on tY�e $56,110 at 9% per year is
$20,199. This is the rate yau would have paid starting in 1982,
if assessments had been levied in 1982, but payment deferred.
5. The City can apply the assessment of $15,261 per lot amd defer it
up to five years. In this way yau will have the option of either
th+e buyer or the seller pay�ir�g the asses�t charge at the time
of sale of the lots. In addition, cansistent with policy on de-
ferred assessnents� interest will accn3e at 9% per year until
paid in full.
This proposal has certain positi� �fits far yaur property:
1. The Briclmer de�relopoaexft gave a�l �e right-of-way for the street
(Heather Place).

2. The Ben More Drive extension is mw eli�nated.
3. Both of the above it�s would allow you to have lots 11,000 square �
feet and larger where the minirrn m lot requirenent is only 9,000
square feet.
4. The City will pravide a raater loop at no charge to yo� development.
5. Str�eet and utility costs are mw exactly la�or,ai instead of beir�g
estimated.
6• Yo�' property should benefit frvm the high quality development to
the south.
7, Yau will have the choice of you or the buyer payir�g the assessnents,
with interest, when the lots are sold.
With y�is agreenent, I am willing to recaimend this proposal to the City
Crnmcil. As yau lazow, the City Cauncil is the only authority which can
approve this proposal.
If the proposal is acceptable to you� please advise me, in writing, by
N1ay 29, 1986 so that I can sutanit it to the CoLmcil in time for �their
review and apprwal at the Jtme 2 meeting .
This proposal anly addresses the issue of access onto Heather Place and
the costs of street and utilities. If you decide to develop yo� property,
I wvuld be happy to provide you with the required procedures°, charges and
fees related to tive develapment of the property.
If I can be of any f�ther service, please feel free to call me.
S�cerely,
