Page 8 <br />SECTION III - IMPROVEMENT TYPE AND COST APPORTIONMENT <br />A. Street Reconstruction Including Curb and Gutter. The cost of street <br />reconstruction shall be recovered by the adjusted front footage method. The <br />front footage rate shall be determined by dividing the project cost by the total <br />number of adjusted front feet in the project area x the individual adjusted <br />front footage x two-thirds (2/3). The assessments per adjusted front foot may <br />vary depending on the underlying zoning of a parcel. Assessments for residential <br />properties whibh are on collector or arterial streets shall be adjusted so that the <br />amount of the assessment shall be the same as if the project were constructed <br />to residential street standards as provided in Section V.H.1. of this policy. <br />The remaining cost shall be recovered by means of the general ad valorem <br />property tax paid by the entire community or by other funds that may become <br />available to the City for infrastructure cost recovery. <br />Street Resurfacing. Street resurfacing is commonly known and referred to as <br />street overlaying whereby a new bed of road material such as bituminous is <br />installed over an existing paved road to a specific thickness. Assessments shall <br />be determined by the adjusted front footage method. <br />C. Sidewalk. Sidewalk improvements may be done in conjunction with a street <br />reconstruction or as a separate project. In any event, cost of sidewalk <br />improvements shall be recovered by means of the general ad valorem property <br />tax paid by the entire community or by other funds that may become available <br />to the City for infrastructure cost recovery. <br />D. Sealcoatino. Sealcoating shall be treated as a general maintenance expense and <br />shall be assessed in the same manner as street reconstruction. <br />E. Sanitary Sewer and Water Mains. Repair and replacement of sewer or water <br />mains is usually done in conjunction with a street reconstruction project and the <br />cost of this work should be included as part of the total major street project cost <br />and should also be considered to be included in the rate assessed for street <br />reconstruction. If it is determined that the repair and replacement work results <br />in a greater benefit to some properties and not to others, the Council should <br />consider establishing a different assessment rate based on the benefits received. <br />
