A multi-unit development which receives project authorization may be completed in different parts. For example, in the construction of a new subdivision community, the developer may build the homes in parts, such as the townhomes under Part A, condominiums under Part B, etc. However, any existing assessments or unassessed construction prior to the new project authorization must be redeemed.

This includes properties designated as green space, open space, street dedications or stormwater management. Project authorization will not proceed to construction without satisfying the redemption condition(s). Utilizing the sample project authorization below, all conditions and requirements are listed. Tracts 1 and 2 are projected to be completed in parts. The proposed construction will extend service to 100 multi-unit residential structures. Part I (contract 94-0001 A) is for 50 units located on Tract 1 and Part II (contract 94-00018) is for 50 units on Tract 2.

At the time of project authorization, the redemption of the existing sewer FFBC on Street A is made as a condition of authorization. Construction approval cannot be given without satisfying the redemption condition.

A sewer line is constructed on Street E and extends to the interior of Tract 1. Tract 1 would be assessed using the multi-unit residential assessment method.

Tract 2 is assessed a token assessment (common ground) using the small acreage classification until it is developed for townhouses.

Part II of the project authorization to serve the 50 multi-unit residential structures in Tract 2 is constructed. The 50 units are then assessed using the standard multi-unit residential rates. The assessments for construction on Street E are included in the unit assessments.

A different project authorization proposes construction along Street C for Tract 3 for future development. Tract 3 would then be assessed using small acreage methodology until actual development takes place.

The project authorization to service Tract 3 should reflect no assessment returns against Tracts 1 and 2, since they were previously assessed. However, Tract 2 would receive a token assessment to identify the line. (Property assessments manual § 10.4, dated October 1998)
