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