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 which are on collector or arterial_streets shall be s_o_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 /> B. 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. Sealcoating. 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 />
