(B) Unless covered by division (A) above, the applicant shall pay a connection fee equal to the proportionate cost of construction of the municipal utility facility and necessary street repairs. The cost is to be determined by the city using the same formulas as were used or assessments previously levied against other property for the municipal utility facility and shall include equivalency charges as required to arrive at the present day worth of the municipal utility service. This equivalency charge shall be equal to simple interest calculated from the project assessment date to the service connection date at the rate of interest at which the bonds sold to finance the project were issued minus a depreciation factor of three percent per year. If no such assessment has been levied, the cost shall be determined by the Council, and in determining the cost the Council shall take into consideration the front footage, shape and area of the lot or tract of land with which the connection is made. Upon written request of the owner of the lot or tract of land, showing good cause, the Council may provide that the connection charge be specially assessed as a lien against the lot or tract of land payable in semi-annual installments for a term of years 38 ΋tğŭĻ
