Ordinance - 2 (3) Street construction assessments - General. (a) Assessable components of street improvements include sidewalks, driveway aprons, a share of the improvements to the traveled way from back of curb to back of curb as provided in section 7.175(4) and (5) (including, but not limited to: lanes for vehicular use, parking and parking bays); curbs; gutters; catch basins, piping and other features necessary to remove and treat or cleanse storm water from the improved surfaces; and other related features. (b) Except when special circumstances exist that are identified in the resolution creating an assessment district, assessments for street improvements generally shall be based on the number of linear feet of property to be assessed, as provided in sections 7. 175(4)(e) and 7.175(5)(b) and (c), multiplied by the per-foot cost of the assessable components described in paragraph (a) of this subsection. The portion of the street pavement to be assessed against an individual parcel shall be based on the assessable widths identified in subsections 7.175(4) and 7. 175(5)(d). Where not all of the linear feet of a parcel abutting a street improvement are included in the assessment to be levied at the time the improvement is constructed, the parcel may be subject to a delayed equivalent assessment as provided in sections 7. 175(5)(c), (f), (h) and (i). (4) Local streets: ( a) A parcel abutting a local street shall be assessed for an improvement to a local street according to the zoning of the parcel as follows: 1. A parcel with single-family or low-density residential zoning shall be assessed for a maximum of 1 7 feet of width. 2. A parcel with other than single-family or low-density residential zoning shall be assessed for a maximum of 22 feet of width. (b) The cost for the assessable width shall be apportioned to each parcel on the basis of its front footage abutting upon the improvement, except that: 1. If a residentially zoned parcel has a total front footage of less than 50 feet on all abutting streets for which a street improvement assessment has been or is likely to be made, then that parcel shall be assessed as if its front footage on those streets were 50 feet. 2. If the width of the street improvement varies within the improvement district, each parcel shall be assessed in accordance with the width or widths upon which it abuts. (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.
