Information for property owners
The City of Mentor has joined the Lake County Communities Shoreline Special Improvement District (SID) to address erosion within the city.
Shoreline property owners are now able to apply to the SID for inclusion of their properties in order to undertake “shovel ready” privately owned shoreline protection measures and finance those projects through special assessments over fifteen years under the terms and conditions of the SID.
Property owners who wish to include their property are asked to email erosioncontrol@mcdonaldhopkins.com and copy the City of Mentor at CityMgr@CityofMentor.com.
Provide your name, address, parcel number, phone number and email address so that we may send you the improvement petition and information package to review and complete. You will not be bound to proceed with your Project simply by requesting the improvement petition and information. The Lake SID is now ready to implement the assessment proceedings and financing for the first round of projects that are shovel-ready. Additional rounds will be available if your project is not shovel ready.
In order to initiate the assessment proceedings and proceed with financing for your Project, it will be necessary for you to complete and submit a SID and Improvement Petition, mentioned above, which is specific to your Project and which you will need to include the following additional information:
- Engineering plans and specifications for the Project;
- Construction cost for the Project (include copy of construction contract of available); and
- ODNR permit letter (and any additional required permits or approvals).
Applicants should also contact Mentor Chief Building Inspector, Dan Perno, at perno@cityofmentor.com to determine if a flood plain permit is required.
Individual property owners assume responsibility for the planning and completion of their projects. The assessment amount and term would be based on the amount of money borrowed to complete the project and other factors.
