202.09 202.09 (Rev. 2/00) b. Street Resurfacing: Street resurfacing is commonly known and referred to as street overlaying whereby a new bed of road material such as bituminous is installed over an existing paved road to a specific thickness. Assessments shall be determined by the adjusted front footage method at one hundred percent (100%) to properties on both sides of the street. A mill and overlay to an existing paved road will be assessed by the adjusted front footage method at one hundred percent (100%) percent to properties on both sides of the street. A recycle and overlay to an existing paved road will be assessed by the adjusted front footage method at one hundred percent (100%) to properties on both sides of the street. Assessments will be based on physical project costs plus engineering, administration costs, ROW expenditures and other related project costs. The method of rehabilitation or resurfacing shall be determined by the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of the combined segments of the streets considered for the project. (Ord. 654, 2-14-00) c. Sidewalk: Sidewalk improvements may be done in conjunction with a street reconstruction or as a separate project. In any event, sidewalks requested that are not included in the City’s sidewalk and trail plan shall be recovered by assessing twenty five percent (25%) to the affected property owners and the remainder paid by the general ad valorem property tax paid by the entire community or by other funds that may become available to the City for infrastructure cost recovery. Sidewalks are generally installed on the City’s major streets or in accordance with the City’s sidewalk and trail plan, which will connect several neighborhoods and community attractions in a logical pattern; these improvements will not be assessed to the abutting properties. (Ord. 654, 2-14-00) d. Sealcoating: Sealcoating, patching and cracksealing are considered general maintenance activities and the expenses of such acts will be paid for by ad valorem property tax or any other funds available to the City at that time. e. Sanitary Sewer and Water Mains: Repair and replacement of sewer or water mains is usually done in conjunction with a street reconstruction project and the cost of this work should be included as part of the total major street project cost and should also be considered to be included in the rate assessed for street reconstruction. If it is determined that the repair and replacement work results in a greater benefit to some properties and not to others, the Council should consider establishing a different assessment rate based on the benefits received. f. Sanitary Sewer and Water Trunk Improvements: Trunk sewer and water mains are usually designed to carry larger volumes of flow than are necessary within an immediate property area in order to serve additional properties beyond the area of their immediate placement. Therefore, one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of trunk improvements will be assessed on a unit basis to all properties within a district deemed to be benefited from the trunk improvements.
