202.09 202.09 <br /> c. Area Assessment: The assessable area shall be expressed in terms of the number of <br /> acres or the number of square feet subject to assessment. When determining the <br /> assessable area, the following considerations will be given: <br /> (1) Ponding Assessment Consideration: Lakes, ponds and swamps may be <br /> considered a part of the assessable area of a parcel. <br /> (2) Road Right-of-Way Assessment Consideration: Up to twenty percent (20%) <br /> of the gross acreage may be deducted for street right-of-way purposes within unplatted <br /> parcels of five acres or more depending upon the parcel configuration and is only <br /> applicable to single family residential use. Parcels of less than five acres may not qualify <br /> and may be assessed full acreage. The reason for this size restriction is that, in most <br /> instances, parcels of less than five acres cannot support an internal public road system. <br /> (3) Park Dedication Assessment Consideration: When park land is dedicated as <br /> part of a residential development, as required by Subdivisions Code - Chapter 1204.02, <br /> the developer shall not be assessed an acreage charge on the portion of land dedicated. <br /> d. Front Footage Assessment: The actual physical dimensions of a parcel abutting an <br /> improvement (i.e., street, sewer, water, etc.) will generally not be construed as the <br /> frontage utilized to calculate the assessment for a particular parcel. Rather, an "adjusted <br /> front footage" will be determined. The purpose of this method is to equalize assessment <br /> calculations for lots of similar size. Individual parcels by their very nature differ <br /> considerably in shape and area. The following procedures will apply when calculating <br /> adjusted front footage. The selection of the appropriate procedures will be determined by <br /> the specific configuration of the parcel. All measurements will be scaled from available <br /> plat and section maps and will be rounded down to the nearest 1/2 foot dimension with <br /> any excess fraction deleted. <br /> e. Categorical type descriptions are as follows: <br /> Standard Lots <br /> Rectangular Variation Lots <br /> Triangular Lots <br /> Cul-de-sac Lots <br /> Curved Lots <br /> Irregularly Shaped Lots <br /> Corner Lots <br /> Flag Lots <br /> Double Frontage Lots <br /> The ultimate objective of these procedures is to arrive at a fair and equitable distribution <br /> of cost whereby consideration is given to lot size and parcels are comparably assessed. <br /> City of Mounds View <br />
