************************************************
The Philomath City Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, October
5, 2020, at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom video-conference. The purpose of this
hearing is to receive public comment regarding the request to form a
Reimbursement District filed by Mountain West Corporation (The Boulevard
Apartments). The Planning Official’s Report is provided below. The full
report including appendices is also on file and available for review in
the office of the City Recorder by calling (541) 929-6148 or emailing
ruth.post@philomathoregon.gov.
The city of Philomath requires
developers to construct and install water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer,
and street improvements necessary to serve proposed developments. Often
these street, water, sewer and storm sewer improvements, particularly
those constructed off-site, can and will benefit other property owners
when they develop their property. Therefore, these improvements
represent a benefit to those property owners.
The purpose of
establishing a reimbursement district is to provide a mechanism where
owners of property which benefits from the construction of public
improvements by another property owner will share in the cost of those
improvements by payment of a reimbursement charge at the time the
benefited property is developed and/or the improvements are utilized.
Owners
of property which would be subject to a reimbursement charge may review
the report and comment at the public hearing prior to the city
establishing a reimbursement district.
Due to Oregon Governor
Brown’s Executive Order 20-12 requiring social distancing due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, this public hearing will be held via Zoom
video-conference. Limited capacity will be available at Philomath City
Hall Council Chambers, 980 Applegate Street, Philomath, Oregon.
