4) PUBLIC HEARINGS:
Proposed procedures for forming a Special Improvement
District and proposed amendments to the County Minimum Road
Standards of platted and dedicated roads.
The Chair opened the public hearing and asked if anyone
wished to speak in favor of the proposal.
Diane Staab, Deputy County Attorney, gave a brief overview of
the procedures she had drafted (Exhibit A) noting that they
basically came from the statute. She explained there are two
ways a group of citizens can petition:
1. No requirement for a request for appointment of a
temporary board of trustees, however, there must be at
least ten percent of the landowners signatures within the
proposed area.
2. Request for appointment of a temporary board of
trustees with at least 20 percent of the landowners
signatures within the proposed area.
Staab stated if the petition has ten percent of the
landowners signatures a public hearing must held. If the
petition has 20 percent of the landowners signatures the
statute does not require that a public hearing be held,
however, in the policy drafted, language has been included
requiring a public hearing be held in order to allow the
County Engineer and other County departments to come forward
with suggestions. Staab added that if a majority of the
landowners file written protests with the County Clerk's
Office within ten days after the notice of hearing, the
County Board must stop all proceedings.
Staab stated Section 4A is referring to the type of petition
which requires ten percent of the landowners signatures and
recommended the following addition to that section of the
procedures:
Add the following language to Section 4A: "When no
temporary board is requested within four weeks after
filing the Petition, the County Board shall give notice of
the date, time and place of a public hearing regarding the
formation of the proposed district."
She also recommended that language be added to Section 4B
indicating a public hearing will be held when a petition with
20 percent of the landowners signatures is submitted.
Steinman stated she felt it would be helpful to have
guidelines attached to the procedures and policies so
everyone will know what the expectation is.
In response to a question asked by Campbell, Staab stated it
was recommended to include in the procedures and policies a
requirement that the individuals filing the petition also
file a certificate of ownership of who the landowners are in
the proposed district for verification that the ten or 20
percent is being met.
Campbell stated it is not the County Board's decision whether
to pave or not to pave; the role of the County Board is to
set the boundary. She noted there has been some question as
to whether the County Board has the right to alter the
boundaries.
Staab explained when ten percent of the landowners have
signed the petition the County Board does have some say
regarding the boundaries, however, when 20 percent of the
landowners have signed the petition there are no specifics
regarding the boundaries. She stated that there is some
question as to whether the Board can change the boundaries,
but the roads are County roads and are maintained by the
County. Staab said the boundaries should be discussed during
the public hearing.
Svoboda asked if a subdivision could be done along with a
subsection of another one.
Staab stated there are other resolutions dealing with road
maintenance that require the roads in the entire subdivision
to be of the same surface type. She stated it would be
preferable for the roads in a special improvement district to
also be of the same surface type.
The Chair asked if anyone else wished to speak in favor of
the proposal.
Duane Dvorak, 8601 S 63 Street, appeared and stated the area
where he lives is currently considering forming a special
improvement district. He stated he felt there was some
confusion regarding section four of the procedures and
policies and that by reorganizing the points it would flow
better.
Dvorak questioned the issue of a subdivision in section five.
He stated a subdivision refers to a rectangular area,
however, it's the area inside the rectangle which is being
paved and residential houses/lots on the edge of the
rectangular area would have no vested interest on whether the
interior is paved or not paved.
Steinman stated that costs for the road can be allocated.
Dvorak asked how resurfacing would be paid for when needed
and referred to section nine of Exhibit A (Procedures and
Policies Related to Forming a Special Improvement District).
He noted that section nine states, "the District shall
reimburse the County for such maintenance costs" and asked
about cost distribution and how the cost would be collected.
He stated that the district would likely be dissolved after
the initial paving work. Dvorak stated he felt there needs
to be further research to address maintenance.
Dvorak asked at what point the board of trustees signs
contracts and makes commitments for the special improvement
district. He stated the procedure before the County Board
sets in motion the forming of the board of trustees. Once
the board of trustees is legally formed they can do what they
wish to do as far as defining number of roads, number of cul-
de-sacs and number of access paths.
Staab explained the public hearing is for the formation of
the special improvement district and prior to forming the
district the board can do all kinds of things before the
district is formed.
Campbell asked if the petition must define the roads.
Staab stated yes.
Bill Giovanni, 6410 Prairie Rim Road, appeared and indicated
he is supportive of the effort. He asked if the Register of
Deeds Office could provide the County Board with the names of
the landowners.
Mike DeKalb, Planning Department, stated they ask for a
certificate of ownership/certificate of title which an
attorney or an abstract/title company checks with the
Register of Deeds. He stated it has been their experience in
the past on subdivisions that the Register of Deeds is not
willing to put it together and certify it.
Giovanni suggested that the County consider having the County
Engineer design the road and contract for the work to provide
some insurance that the work will comply with the County's
design standards. Giovanni also expressed his concern
regarding the maintenance issue.
Thomas suggested charging the district one dollar a year to
comply with statute.
Richard Hergott, 6101 Rebel Drive, appeared and stated the
County Engineer indicated at a neighborhood association
meeting that they could alter the subdivision and include the
whole subdivision because of maintenance.
The Chair asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition.
No one appeared.
The Chair asked if anyone wished to speak in a neutral
position.
John Evans, 6700 Rebel Drive, appeared and asked why the ten
percent and 20 percent options were so low for approval to
form a board.
Campbell stated the percentages are set forth in State
Statute.
In response to a question asked by Evans regarding the type
of jurisdiction the temporary board would have, Staab stated
the temporary board of trustees has the power to request the
County Board to set a date for the special election and to
perform some preliminary steps as far as hiring contractors.
Merle Jahde, 3700 NW 126th Street, appeared and
addressed the maintenance issue. He stated there are areas
which would be prudent not to pave if an access or a home is
not built on a road. He suggested adding language which
would allow some instances of variance from the policy and
indicated he is in support of the special improvement
district.
The Chair asked if anyone else wished to testify in a neutral
position.
No one appeared and the Chair closed the public hearing.
