·Review Prosecutor's
Opinion regarding Pettisville Sidewalk
Resolution
2007-936
|
The letter herein is
a response to the County Engineers request for the Prosecutor’s
opinion on the Board’s authority to assess East and West
Residents on County Road 19 and the Old Mill Subdivision with
regard to the sidewalk Petition filed with the Board by various
residents of Pettisville. It is the prosecutor’s opinion that
only abutting landowners can be assessed, which would include
either side of County Road 19, however would exclude residents
of the Old Mill Subdivision. It was further added that the
landowners can only be assessed not more than the actually
increase in value to the property as a result of the
improvement. It was recommended that an appraiser be hired to
determine the increase in value.
The validity of the
petition was questioned due to the fact that signatures were not
obtained by a majority of the landowners that will be affected
by the change. It will come to Board for a vote to either rule
the petition invalid or to proceed by unanimous vote. A hearing
was previously scheduled in this matter for November 5, 2007.
Commissioner Genter stated that there was not enough information
to hold a viable hearing on said date and moved to continue the
hearing to gather further information such as funding options,
assessments, and the validity of the petition itself.
Commissioner Short seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously. The new hearing has been continued to January
17, 2007 at 10:00 am. Notices will be sent to the
landowners. |
