ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY STUDY
Isabella Ave. from
Ambrosia St. to Williams St.
The proposed resurfacing oflsabella Ave. between Ambrosia St. & Williams St., see attached special assessment
district map, was initiated by the City due to the street conditions. We feel that resurfacing is the most effective
method especially with the needs for other utilities work such as water & sewer that will enable us to remove the
entire asphalt surface and repave that section while salvaging the existing curb & gutter.
A memorandum from the Assessor's office, which addresses appraisal and benefits to abutting properties, is
attached.
The preliminary cost estimate for the work associated with paving is approximately $140,000.00 with the length of
the project being approximately 1,091 lineal feet or 1,477.5 feet of assessable front footage. This translates into an
estimated improvement cost of$95.00 per assessable foot. However, based on the 2008 assessment figure for this
type of improvement, the assessment will not exceed $17.15 per assessable foot.

accrued benefits. It is subject to the normal governmental restrictions of escheat,
District6 taxation, police power an4 eminent domain. The effective date is February 20, 2008.
Marvin R. Engle The proposed special assessment district encompasses primarily residential properties.
District 5 The City of Muskegon's Engineering Department has provided all frontage estimates
Bil!Gill in accordance with the City's Special Assessment Policy and all project-related costs.
District 8 The total project cost is estimated to be $225,000. The amount of money to be spread
Kenneth Mahoney to the 26 property owners has been estimated at $47,280.00 or 21.0% of the total
District 1 costs. The proposed front foot rated to be spread is $32.00. The City's Engineering
Louis A. McMurray
Department is solely responsible for these figures.
District 9
In conclusion, it is my opinion that the special assessment amounts as provided by the
Robert Scolnik City justly and reasonably represents the accrued benefits to the properties
District 11
encompassed by this project. The amounts reflect the sum of the immediate estimated
Roger C. Wade value enhancement and the intrinsic value that will accrue from an overall increase in
District 10
property values due to an improved quality oflife created by the proposed project.
Simply stated, the front foot rate of$32.00 to be spread over an assessable footage of
1477.50 for the reconstruction of the above mentioned project area appears reasonable
and equitable based upon the data presented by the City of Muskegon Engineering
Department, and on supporting office records.

ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY STUDY
ROBLANE AVE. from
QUARTERLINE RD. to MARLANE ST,·
The proposed reconstruction ofRoblane Ave. between Quaiterline & Marlane St., see attached special assessment
district map, was initiated by the City due to the conditions of the road and drainage. We feel that reconstruction is
the most effective method especially with the needs for other facilities such as storm. sewer system in that area.
The existing pavement condition of 3 5 (out of 100) is well bel,ow acceptable.
The proposed reconstruction consists of existing pavement removal, constructing a new curb & gutter street & new
storm sewer system.
A memorandum from the Assessor's office, which addresses appraisal and benefits to abutting properties, is
attached.
The preliminai·y cost estimate for the work associated with paving is approximately $80,000.00 with the length of
the project being approximately 510 lineal feet or 782.1 feet of assessable front footage. This. translates .into an
estimated improvement cost of $102 per assessable foot. However, based on the 2008 assessment figure for this
type of improvement, the assessment will not exceed $32.00 per assessable foot.
While the preliminary proposed assessment rate on the resolution is 31.3%, the actual rate, upon completion of the
project and at the time of spreading, will be limited to the 25% of total cost as amended in the special assessment
policy

COMMISSIONERS
933 Terrace Street
James J. Derezinski Muskegon, MI 49443
Chair. District 4
Mr. Al-Shatel:
I. John Snider II
Vice Chair, District 3 In accordance with your request, I have examined the proposed special assessment
P. DQn Alay district entailing the reconstruction of Roblane Avenue from Quarterline Road to
District 7 Marlane Street (Project # H-1636). The purpose of this analysis is to document the
Charles L. Buzzell
reasonableness of this special assessment district by identifying and quantifying any
District 2 accrued benefits. It is subject to the nonnal governmental restrictions of escheat,
Lew Collins
taxation, police power and eminent domain. The effective date is February 27, 200S.
District 6
The propose.d special· assessment district encompasses primarily commercial
Marvin R. Engle properties. The City of Muskegon's Engineering Department has provided all frontage
District 5 estimates in accordance with the City's Special Assessment Policy and all project-
BillGill related costs. The total project cost is estimated to be $80,000. The amount of
District 8 money to be spread to the 5 property owners has been estimated at $25,027.20 or
Kenneth Mahoney 31.3% of the total costs. The proposed front foot rated to be spread is $32.00. The.
District 1 City's Engineering Department is solely responsible for these figures.
Louis A. McMurray In conclusion, it is my opinion that the special assessment amounts as provided by the
District 9
City justly and reasonably represents the accrued benefits to the properties
Robert Scolnik encompassed by this project. The amounts reflect the sum of the immediate estimated
District 11
value enhancement and the intrinsic value that will accrue from an overall increase in
Roger C. Wade property values due to an improved quality of life created by the proposed project.
District 10
Simply stated, the front foot rate of $32.00 to be spread over an assessable footage of
7S2. l 0 for the reconstruction of the above mentioned project area appears reasonable
and equitable based upon the data presented by the City of Muskegon Engineering
Department, and on supporting office records.
