SUMMARY: Section 66.0703 of the Wisconsin Statutes prescribes the legal process which cities must follow to specially assess property for local improvements. Typical public improvement projects for which special assessments are levied include street reconstruction, driveway approaches, sidewalks and service walks, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, watermain, and streetlights. Cities are permitted to take city actions such as resolutions to set policies and procedures for their local special assessment process. But these polices and procedures must conform to Section 66.0703 of the Wisconsin Statutes . Greenfield adopted its latest resolution number 3492 in 2014. That resolution defines things like how each property is assessed based on the length their frontage along the street. Assessment rates are approved annually, based on the change in the consumer price index. The 2026 rates were approved in October 2025. FINANCIAL: None RECOMMENDATION: For information only.

Page 9 of 35 RESOLUTION NO. 3492 SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS I. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE: In order to provide for the equitable distribution and assessment of costs incurred in the installation of various public works projects within the jurisdiction of the City of Greenfield, which includes contractual relationships with another municipality or governmental unit under authorization granted by Section 66.0703, Wisconsin Statutes, the Common Council of the City of Greenfield ordains these regulations, all subject to, and in conformance with, the latest revisions of the said Section 66.0703, Wisconsin Statutes. II. GENERAL: For the purpose of this resolution, the assessable benefits accruing to any given property from public improvements shall be determined as relating directly to the frontage thereof, as explained hereinafter for the specific improvement. Side frontage, in the case of corner lots, shall refer to that side of the lot which has the most frontage on an improvement. Where so provided herein, certain improvements may be assessed on an actual cost basis, or some percentage thereof, as specified in the Preliminary Resolution for the particular improvement program. None of the improvements described herein shall be used by any property for which the applicable assessment has not been paid or payment provided for. Any assessment for such use shall be based on the assessment rate in effect at the time said improvement is requested for use. Where additional frontage is created by a land division, a connection charge is due on the additional frontage, based on the assessment rate in effect at the time of request for said land division for each improvement. None of the requirements of this resolution shall prohibit Common Council from making adjustments in assessment rates, assessable costs, or in assessable frontages, when, in the opinion of said Common Council, a standard assessment will prove to be excessive or otherwise unreasonable, and not in conformity with the intent of this resolution. III. SANITARY SEWERS AND/OR WATER MAINS (Developed Areas) A. Regular Shaped Lots - The assessment is based on the frontage of said lots along the public street. B. Irregular Shaped Lots - The assessment, on pie shaped lots or extremely tapered lots, where the frontage lot dimension and the rear lot dimension vary by a ratio of at least 2:1, is based on the width of the lot at the minimum building setback line. The assessment is exempt on extremely tapered lots for that portion of the frontage where the depth of a lot becomes less than 60 feet. C. Corner Lots - The assessment is exempt to the long side of a nondivisible lot. The assessment on divisible parcels is based on the following procedures: (1) The parcel is tested for possible alternate divisions according to the zoning restrictions. Page 10 of 35 (2) The assessable frontage is assumed to be on the side where the greatest number of lots could be created. (3) The assessable frontage, for a divisible parcel that has sanitary sewer and/or water main installed abutting both sides, will be based on the actual short side frontage of said parcel, plus the portion of the actual long side frontage of said lot in excess of 1.5 times that zoned minimum width. However, if the remainder of frontage on the long side is less than the zoned minimum width, it is exempt. D. Disproportionate Assessments - When an assessment for sanitary sewer and/or water main results in an amount which is inconsistent with the balance of the neighborhood, that lot would be assessed disproportionately because of unique shape, relief would be provided for that lot by assessing not more than 125% of the average of the lots containing the same characteristics of the lot, said relief to be granted by the Board of Public Works after recommendation by the City Engineer. E. Exclusions: (1) When sanitary sewer and/or water mains are installed in and through easements, alleys, pedestrian or public walks, and when they do not constitute a direct benefit to the abutting properties, such abutting properties shall not be assessed. (2) When there is an easement for municipal purposes, such frontage shall be exempt from assessment. F. Service Laterals: (1) A service lateral for each utility shall be required to serve each parcel of land except in cases where a dual system is installed to the property line. (2) Large parcels of land, which are divisible in accordance with the existing zoning requirements, shall have a service lateral installed to each possible future parcel under said division. G. Assessments - Rates are established by the Board of Public Works and approved by the Common Council. Rates shall be established on a yearly basis. IV. STORM SEWER (Developed Areas) A. Regular Shaped Lots - The assessment is based on the frontage of said lots along the public street. B. Irregular Shaped Lots - The assessment, on pie shaped lots or extremely tapered lots, where the front lot dimension and the rear lot dimension vary by a ratio of at least 2:1, is based on the width of the lot at the minimum building setback line. The assessment is exempt on extremely tapered lots for that portion of the frontage where the depth of a lot becomes less than 60 feet. Page 11 of 35 C. Corner Lots - The assessment is exempt to the long side of a nondivisible lot. The assessment on divisible parcels is based on the following procedures: (1) The parcel is tested for possible alternate divisions according to the zoning restrictions. (2) The assessable frontage is assumed to be on the side where the greatest number of lots could be created. (3) The assessable frontage, for a divisible parcel that has storm sewer installed abutting both sides, will be based on the actual short side frontage of said parcel, plus that portion of the actual long side frontage of said lot in excess of 1.5 times the zoned minimum width. However, if the remainder of frontage on the long side is less than the zoned width, it is exempt. D. Disproportionate Assessments - When an assessment for storm sewer results in an amount which is inconsistent with the balance of the neighborhood, that lot would be assessed disproportionately because of unique shape, relief would be provided for that lot by assessing not more than 125% of the average of the lots containing the same characteristics of the lot, said relief to be granted by the Board of Public Works after recommendation by the City Engineer. E. Exclusions: (1) When storm sewers are installed in and through easements, alleys, pedestrian or public walks, and when they do not constitute a direct benefit to the abutting properties, such abutting properties shall not be assessed. (2) When there is an easement for municipal purposes, such frontage shall be exempt from assessment. F. Storm Sewer Service Connection: (1) Storm Sewer Service Connections are provided at the option of the property owner. (2) Large parcels of land, which are divisible in accordance with the existing zoning requirements, shall be assessed separate storm sewer service connection assessments to each possible future parcel under said division. G. Assessments - Rates are established by the Board of Public Works and approved by the Common Council. Rates shall be established on a yearly basis. Page 12 of 35 V. PAVEMENT IMPROVEMENTS (Developed Areas) A. Street Pavement/Sidewalk: (1) Regular Shaped Lots - The assessment is based on the frontage of said lots along the public street. If the street improvement does not extend across the full frontage of the lot, the lesser dimension shall be used. (2) Irregular Shaped Lots - The assessment, on pie shaped or extremely tapered lots, where the front lot dimension and the rear lot dimension vary by a ratio of at least 2:1, is based on the width of the lot at the minimum building setback line. (3) Corner Lots - The assessment is exempt to the long side of a nondivisible lot. The assessment on divisible parcels is based on the following procedures: (a) The parcel is tested for possible alternate divisions according to the zoning restrictions. (b) The assessable frontage is assumed to be on the side where the greatest number of lots could be created. (c) The assessable frontage for a divisible parcel where street improvements are installed abutting both sides, will be based on the actual short side frontage of said parcel, plus that portion of the actual long side frontage of said parcel in excess of 1.5 times the zoned minimum width. However, if the remainder of the frontage on the long side is less than the zoned minimum width, it is exempt. (4) Disproportionate Assessments - When an assessment for street pavement / sidewalk results in an amount which is inconsistent with the balance of the neighborhood, that lot would be assessed disproportionately because of unique shape, relief would be provided for that lot by assessing not more than 125% of the average of the lots containing the same characteristics of the lot, said relief to be granted by the Board of Public Works after recommendation by the City Engineer. B. Alleys: (1) Assessments shall be based on the lineal frontage of the alley affected. (2) Parcels abutting an alley improvement on two (2) sides shall be assessed on the short side. (3) Parcels abutting an alley on its long side only, shall be assessed on the short side (street frontage). Page 13 of 35 C. Assessments - Rates for pavement improvements are established by the Board of Public Works and approved by the Common Council. Minimum return rates (cost of assessment versus cost of installation) for various zonings (Commercial/Industrial, Multi-Family and 1-2 Family Residential) are to be considered in the establishment of the assessment rates. Rates shall be established on a yearly basis. D. Public Sidewalk: (1) Where public sidewalk installation is part of a new and/or reconstructed street project, there will be no direct special assessment for this improvement; the cost is included in the street improvement assessment rates. (2) Where public sidewalk installation is not part of a new and/or reconstructed street project, but is installed along an existing street, a special assessment will be levied. VI. IMPROVEMENTS FOR UNDEVELOPED AREAS: The City of Greenfield provides all of the improvements for an undeveloped area by the installation of underground utilities and street improvements, and 100% of the project costs shall be assessed to the abutting parcels, as a per parcel assessment, based on the contemplated division of the parcels. In cases where projects serving undeveloped areas provide improvements to existing dwelling units, the dwelling unit shall be assessed under the requirement of “Developed Areas” with the City funding the difference. VII. IMPROVEMENT LIFE - REASSESSMENT: Due to the uncertainty connected with estimating the life expectancy of the given improvement and due to the many extraneous factors which can contribute to the reduction in the useable life thereof, the Common Council shall, at the time the reconstruction of the specific improvement becomes necessary, weigh the factors which contributed to this necessity and determine what portion of the cost, if any, shall be reassessed against the abutting properties according to the assessment basis previously outlined for the improvement. Special assessments shall not be made for identical infrastructure within 50 years. VIII. APPEAL OF ASSESSMENT(S): A. The appeal for relief from the installation of laterals based on the divisibility of property and/or the basis for the assessment for said improvement shall be made to the Board of Public Works within thirty (30) days of the adoption of a Final Resolution for the installation of said improvement. B. Appeals to Circuit Court must be made within ninety (90) days after date of the notice or of the publication of the Final Resolution and in conformance with Section 66.0703(12)(a), Wisconsin Statutes.
