Specifically, you requested information about how your bill was <br /> calculated. <br /> This alley is located between Patterson and Hilyard, south of Franklin Blvd and, per your description, <br /> `goes east then goes south'. The total cost of improving the alley adjacent to your property at 935 <br /> Patterson Street was $140,925.81 which includes construction costs, testing costs, engineering services, <br /> and other related overhead and financing costs. For this particular alley, the total costs were apportioned <br /> to 10 property owners (representing 12 properties, abutting the alley based upon Eugene Code). Your <br /> portion of the total cost was $10,064.93. <br /> Per Eugene Code, the assessable cost for each alley is calculated and then one half of the assessable costs <br /> are apportioned to the properties based on their front footage abutting the alleys, and one half of the <br /> assessable costs are apportioned to the properties based on the azea of the properties within 160' of the <br /> alley. The assessments were calculated based on the existing uses and zoning of the property within each <br /> <br /> ' alley. The assessable front foot costs are calculated separately for each alley based on the existing use of <br /> the parcels, and the assessable area costs are calculated separately for each alley based on the permissible <br /> use of the parcels under the zoning of the City. Weighting factors are applied to the front footage and area <br /> of each property per the use and zoning of the property as prescribed in the Eugene Code and as listed <br /> below: <br /> Single family dwelling or duplex 1.0 <br /> Other residential 3.0 <br /> Commercial or General Office 10.0 <br /> Industrial 10.0 <br /> Other 1.0-10.0* <br /> *According to the most intensive use of the parcel most comparable to the use listed above as determixied <br /> by the city engineer. <br /> ~CA~! <br /> NBC <br /> <br />
