Page 7 <br />C. Front Footage Assessment. The actual physical dimensions of a parcel <br />abutting an improvement (ie., street, sewer, water, etc.) shall NOT be <br />construed as the frontage utilized to calculate the assessment for a <br />particular parcel. Rather, an "adjusted front footage" will be determined. <br />The purpose of this method is to equalize assessment calculations for lots <br />of similar size. Individual parcels by their very nature differ considerably <br />in shape and area. The following procedures will apply when calculating <br />adjusted front footage. The selection of the appropriate procedures will <br />be determined by the specific configuration of the parcel. All <br />measurements will be scaled from available plat and section maps and will <br />be rounded down to the nearest 1/2 foot dimension with any excess <br />fraction deleted. Categorical type descriptions are as follows: <br />1. Standard Lots <br />2. Rectangular Variation Lots <br />3. Triangular Lots <br />4. Cul-de-sac Lots <br />5. Curved Lots <br />6. Irregularly Shaped Lots <br />7. Corner Lots <br />B. Flag Lots <br />9. Double Frontage Lots <br />The ultimate objective of these procedures is to arrive at a fair and <br />equitable distribution of cost whereby consideration is given to lot size and <br />parcels are comparably assessed.
