For street overlay, 50% of the cost for a project will be obtained from sources other <br />than ad valorem taxes. <br /> <br />All property will be assessed on a basis of front footage as specified below. <br /> <br />1) Non tax-exempt property zoned R-1, R-1A, R-2, and R-3 shall be assessed a minimum of 35%, <br />and the overlay 50%, of the actual cost for a 7-ton, 32-foot wide bituminous pavement with <br />concrete curb and gutter and routine drainage. The above property shall be assessed for this <br />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 /> <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.
