(b) Where the width of the street improvement varies within the improvement district or the improvement includes special features that abut fewer than all of the parcels in the improvement district, the city engineer shall determine whether the additional width or special features specially benefit specific parcels or benefit the improvement district generally, and parcels shall be assessed for additional width or special features in accordance with the engineer's determination. (c) Assessable components of a local street improvement may include street lights and street trees if they are within the scope of the improvement project. The assessable thickness of a local street structure shall be the full thickness determined by the city engineer to be appropriate for the permissible uses of the parcels abutting the street. (d) 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 street use. 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).
