TAHOE MEADOWS UNIT #1 1
Mr. Dave Irmer appeared before the Board inregards to the $250.00
assessment per lot levied by the District on, future subdivisions
as of July 19,E 1966. Mr. Irmer advised the assessment came as quite
a surprise and he was not in a position to take on the added burden
of $28*500.00 at this time. Mr. Irmer stated he did not have the
cash to put up and he would have to abandon the Tahoe Meadows
project if the Board would not reconsider. Mr. Irmer stated the
stringent specifications required by the County were completely
infeasible. Mr. Irmer suggested the Board ease the burden by charging
the $250.00 as each. lot is :applied. Chairman Aweeka advised the
District would have to put money -out for the development of a water
source and by leviling this assessment it would help bare the cost.
Chairman Aweeka advised the District does not have the funds for
development. Mr. Irmer stated he was putting in a lst class water
system, but he did not have the cash to put up on the assessment.
Mr. Irmer repeated this several times during the discussion.
Attorney Chamberlain suggested Mr. Irmer contact Mr. Ness, bond
attorney for the Assessment District to see if it was possible to
include the $28$00.00 in the assessment bond.
Discussion ensued as to the number of lots which will be in Tahoe
Meadows Unit #1 and the cost of the lots which will come to $3, 205.00
when everything is added in. Mr. Irmer stated he would not be making
a profit on this amount, this would not_ even clear the cost of the
land. h
Manager mentioned several tentative maps of additional subdivisions
going in in this area which were not foreseen. The assessment will
be levied on these as well as Tahoe Meadows. Manager stated he had
mentioned to Mr. Duplanty at one time of the serious water problem
the District would have to face in the Future,
Attorney Chamberlain asked how the water rates were determined.
Manager advised the Board of Directors set the rates. Chamberlain
suggested a higher water rate be charged for that particular area.
155
It was also suggested that the purchaser be charged the assessment.
Mr. Irmer stated this would create a lot of ill feelings.
Manager read letter dated May 250 1966 to William Roberts, Director
of Planning stating the District would serve electricity and water
to Tahoe Meadows Subdivision Unit #1 subject to installation of
distribution facilities by developers conforming to District specifica-
tions and acceptance by the District. Attorney Chamberlain advised
he would contact Mr. Ness and look into the problem more closely as
,•-.• he felt there was a question of committment .
r
Mr. Irmer stated he would have all the lots sold by winter. As far
as the development, this could not be determined. It was agreed
that there would probably not be more than twenty" homes built within
ten ,y:ars . Mr. Irmer felt -the assessment was unfair at this time
and had he known he could -have planned ahead. Chairman Aweeka ad-
vised the Board was not trying to put him out of business # but there
was nothing the District could do at this time. Chairman Aweeka -
advised after Attorney Chamberlain has spoken to Mr. Ness a special
meeting would be called if needed and the Board would do x everything
they could i to help Mr . Inner with his problem, Mr. Irmer thanked
the Board for their time and left the meeting at 9:05 P.M.
