Criteria of Reasonableness
It is the opinion of this office that the assessments are, in fact, reasonable. The
assessments have been calculated in accordance with the City of Oshkosh Policy for
Special Assessments for assessing costs for street construction. All costs of the
street improvements have been assessed to the various parcels according to their
assessable frontage. Utility lateral costs are assessed to each lot needing lateral
work. Sidewalk and driveway costs are assessed to the abutting property owner
based on a square foot cost.
The Properties Against which the Assessments are Proposed are Benefited as
follows:
This improvement consists of the construction of concrete or bituminous
pavement and replacement of the sanitary sewer mains and laterals, storm sewer
laterals, and water distribution mains and laterals. The construction of a
concrete or bituminous pavement will provide a rideable surface available in all
weather conditions. The proposed pavement will be crowned to convey the
storm water runoff to the storm sewer system. The utility laterals provide a
connection to the mains for each property. The storm sewer system will convey
the runoff away from the area. The sanitary sewer and water distribution
systems will provide a safe and reliable conveyance system for wastewater and
drinking water.
