The above property shall be assessed for <br />this type of roadway even if the width or strength is greater. <br />2) All tax - exempt property regardless of zoning class, such as, but not no necessarily limited to <br />schools, churches, parks, and government land, shall be assessed on a front footage basis at <br />50% of the cost of a 7 -ton, 32 -foot wide pavement with concrete curb and gutter and routine <br />drainage. The above property will be assessed for this type of roadway even if the width or <br />strength is greater. <br />3) All property not covered in the above description shall be assessed on a front footage basis at <br />50% of the cost for improvements to the roadway that they abut. <br />In addition to the costs above, all property may be assessed a proportional share on a footage basis <br />for expenses such as right -of -way and easement acquisition needed for that segment of the project <br />including any roadways abutting the property. <br />Page I <br />
