SECTION 4, cont. SANITARY SEWER, cont. TRUNK across the area benefited by the improve - SEWER ment. Where property has been subdivided SYSTEMS, cont. for residential use, the assessment shall be on a weighted lot basis. Where unplatted or unplatted and subdivided properties occure or zoning for non - residential pur- poses, the assessment will be distributed using the area or weighted lot method. (A 20% reduction in area will be allowed for unsubdivided properties.) Some properties in the benfit area may not have direct access to the sanitary sewer system. Such properties do accrue an immediate benefit from the trunk sewer since the system is available to receive lateral sewer connections which may be initiated by property owner petition. LATERALS Definition: Sanitary sewer laterals are defined as sanitary sewer lines eight (8) inches in diameter or less extending from the trunk sewer and designed to serve individual properties. Assessable Cost: The assessable cost for sanitary sewer laterals equals the entire project cost. Distribution of Assessments: Unless other- wise specified by the Council, assessable costs will be distributed to benefited property on an adjusted frontage basis. Assessments for sanitary sewer laterals will be levied at the same time against all benefited property in the area, even if some parcels do not connect to the system at the time of assessment. Trunk as a Lateral: Where a trunk sewer main serves as a lateral (provides ser- vice to abutting property), a lateral benefit assessment will be levied. Assess- ment rate shall be equivalent to the cost of the trunk installation minus the charge for the oversizing. The assessment for lateral benefit from a trunk will be levied at the time of improvement. The City Council reserves the right to postpone the assessment for undeveloped property. 6
