Commissioner Skinner
Since we've already made this decision once, I would find that the findings we made on November 8th would be the same, finding that the estimated market value of the property in the district has increased more than the special assessment, finding that the ownership of the property is diverse, that there a total of 63 assessable lots, tracts or parcels in the proposed district with 60 separate owners, 3 individual or entities own 2 lots each, no individuals own 3 or more lots each, there are no special assessments due and no other bonds or levies of record against properties in this proposed district, there are delinquent property taxes or special assignments against 1 property in the district in the total amount of $238.91, there are 63 assessable lots, the total market value before improvement is approximately $8,815,629, the total market
value after improvements is increased by the amount of the assessment, and finding the public will receive benefit of improvement to the road surfaces, access traffic flow, storm drainage and yearly maintenance, and finding that this is not a newly platted subdivision, 48 of the 63 lots, 76% have dwellings, and in making those findings, and finding that there was 62% support in the petition, I would move to, also finding that this rural improvement district serves the public interest and convenience, I would move to adopt resolution of intent, #RID-05-391B , to create Rural Improvement District #391, the Bear Creek Properties Phase 2 & 3, roads RID located in Gallatin County.
