(d) Features of storm sewers constructed as part of a street improvement project within existing developed areas which are in addition to those necessary to properly drain the surface of the street being improved and to provide water quality treatment to the runoff from the street surface; (e) Other costs attributable to special conditions or to policies adopted prior to or at the time the council adopts the resolution forming the local improvement district. (5) Arterial and collector streets. (a) Calculation of assessments for improvements to an arterial or collector street shall be as provided in this subsection 7.175(5). As used in this subsection, “major arterial,” “minor arterial,” “major collector,” and “neighborhood collector” mean streets or travel corridors designated by one of those terms in the city’s or county’s adopted comprehensive transportation plan, in an adopted arterial/collector street plan, or if not so designated, which the city engineer determines to function in the capacity of one of the four classifications. In addition to the components listed in subsection 7.175(3)(a), assessable components of an arterial or collector street improvement may include a portion of the street trees planted as part of the improvement project. The assessable thickness of street structure for an arterial or collector street shall be the thickness determined by the city engineer to be the equivalent of the thickness appropriate for predominantly local [residential] street use. (b) In addition to assessment for curb, gutter, sidewalks and driveway aprons, parcels assessed for improvements to an arterial or collector street shall be assessed for a portion of the pavement and the associated pavement drainage system (catch basins, connecting pipes and other drainage facilities). Parcels within a low-density residential zone shall be assessed according to the functional classification of the street, as follows: 1. Major arterial - no paving or drainage. 2. Minor arterial - 3-1/2 feet of pavement width and associated drainage system for the portion of pavement to be assessed. 3. Major collector - 7 feet of pavement width and associated drainage system for the portion of pavement to be assessed. 4. Neighborhood collector - 10 feet of pavement width and associated drainage system for the portion of pavement to be assessed. Ordinance - 11
