Notice of a Proposed CENTER STREET ASSESSMENT AREA Designation
Public Notice is hereby given that the Logan Municipal Council proposes to designate a portion of Center Street as the CENTER STREET ASSESSMENT AREA (ASSESSMENT AREA), in the City of Logan, Cache County, Utah, for the purpose of replacing and installing curb, gutter, sidewalk, landscaping and appurtenant improvements and to pay some or all of the costs of the improvements by an assessment as provided in Chapter 11, Title 42, UCA, 1953, as amended, on the property within said ASSESSMENT AREA for the benefit of the property being assessed.
The proposed ASSESSMENT AREA is shown in Attachment A. The general description of the ASSESSMENT AREA includes all properties located on the frontage of Center Street between Main Street and 100 West. The improvements proposed will include the following:

- Install landscaping and street furnishings;
- Relocate decorative lighting;
- Install a mid-block crossing;

The City of Logan proposes to levy an assessment on benefitted property within the ASSESSMENT AREA to pay some or all the costs of the improvements according to the estimated benefits to the property from the improvements. Attachment B provides a figure identifying the locations of the proposed improvements. If this is mailed notice to a specific owner of property to be assessed within the proposed ASSESSMENT AREA, the estimated total assessment specific to the benefitted property for which this notice is mailed is provided in Attachment C. The total estimated costs for the improvements have been estimated by a project engineer and are based on recent prices of construction in Logan. The specific items that are included in the proposed ASSESSMENT AREA are included in the cost estimate provided in Attachment D. The estimated total costs for the project improvements are $1,466,060.00 and $350,000.00 of it will be paid by an assessment to be levied against the properties abounding, abutting upon or adjacent to the roadway area which will be benefitted by said improvements. Assessment shall be levied based on linear feet of frontage immediately adjacent to Center Street. The estimated cost of $288.19 per foot of frontage of the real property adjacent to said improvements is the basis of assessment for each parcel and is according to the estimated benefits to the property from the improvements. If the actual construction costs for the improvements are less than the estimate, then the estimated cost per foot of frontage will be reduced accordingly. The total estimated costs of the proposed improvements to be paid by the City of Logan are $1,116,060.00
The City of Logan will provide financing for this project. The assessment may be paid by the abutting property owners in full at the completion of the improvements (with no interest charge) or in ten (10) equal annual installments. If the abutting property owner elects to pay over the 10-year period, the installments will include an interest rate of 3.05% per annum. There will be no penalty for early payment. If after ten (10) years a balance remains to be paid, an interest rate of 10% per annum will be charged on the unpaid balance until the assessment is paid in full. The assessment will be collected by inclusion on a property tax notice issued in accordance with UCA 59-2-1317 and in compliance with UCA 11-42-401.
