The funding source is intended to maintain landscape integrity into the future and to be used for rate stabilization. Part E: Analysis of Benefits of Properties Being Assessed: Without the landscaping, the unpaved strip of land between the curb and sidewalk and the property line would become overgrown with weeds. This public right-of-way usually contains a sidewalk and an unpaved area for underground utilities. A landscape corridor adjacent to a subdivision adds to the pleasant appearance of the neighborhood. The landscaping cuts down on glare from street traffic and has some noise-buffering benefits. It can also reduce the potential for crime because it is a visual statement that local resid.ents take pride and are concerned about their neighborhood, which implies residents are watchful. Engineer's Reports Part G - LMD - Assessed Owners.xls - Engineer's Rpt E' Page 3 06/14/2004 at 4:01 PM . . ..,,"' Landscape reduces the chance for blight, because it establishes an example of landscape maintenance for the residents of the neighborhood to measure their own yard maintenance efforts. It also adds to the marketability of each lot within a subdivision, which is one of the reasons assessed owners purchased their lots in the beginning. These, then, are the benefits conferred upon each assessed lot of a district. The benefits, in effect, protect the neighborhood's welfare. In order to spread the cost of maintenance equally, the City must make some general, uniform assumption of benefit for lots within a district or zone of benefit. Otherwise, the cost per lot would be too high, and the district could not exist. Also, the law does not require lots to be contiguous to the benefit or landscape, only that the assessment be fairly distributed across all lots in proportion to the benefit. This report assumes a uniform benefit and assessment over all lots for the reasons noted above. .. .", Part F: Method of Apportionment of Assessment: The annual assessment per lot is calculated by adding all costs associated with the necessary maintenance to sustain the integrity of the landscape improvements within District "En and divided equally among the lots to be assessed. Cumulated delinquent payments for District "En as of June 30, 2003 amount to $0, because District "En is being established effective July 1, 2004. Part G: Assessed Owners (see attachment): Part H: Improvements: Plans and specifications for the improvements within the district are on file in the Department of Development Services. The plans depict the irrigation system, plant materials, and other landscape appurtenances. The plans and specifications are hereby incorporated into this report by reference.
