Memorandum 15-119 Exempting Properties on Kachemak Drive from Natural Gas Assessments

Memorandum 15-119

TO:                       Mayor Wythe and Homer City Council

FROM:                 Katie Koester, City Manager

DATE:                  July 21, 2015

SUBJECT:         Exempting Properties on Kachemak Drive - Resolution 15-063

The purpose of this memo is to provide more information on Resolution 15-063, exempting certain properties from the Natural Gas HSAD.

Councilmember Van Dyke asked for a resolution to be drafted addressing the objection to the Natural Gas SAD two property owners, Tolman and Hodnik, brought to the Council’s attention. Their property on Kachemak Drive was subdivided into two lots with the construction of Kachemak Drive.

In 2006 the City Council deferred the water sewer assessment for 6 lots on Kachemak Drive that were not created by the initiative of the lot owner until the sale or development of the lot (Resolution 06-74). Resolution 15-063 applies the same standard to properties on Kachemak Drive in the Natural Gas HSAD.

17908013, Eriksson LLC, GVT Lot 15 W of Kachemak Drive

17908021, Rehder, GVT Lot 17 W of Kachemak Drive

17908027, Tolman, GVT Lot 26 W of Kachemak Drive

17936024, Hodnik, GVT Lot 2 North of Kachemak Drive

Resolution 06-74 included 2 other lots that have since been developed and are now making payments into the Kachemak Drive Water Sewer SAD.
