-5- 7. Watermains shall be assessed on a front footage basis with all types of land use and zoning being identically assessed. a. For each presently utilized parcel, there will be subtracted from the total cost of the improvement, added costs for oversized watermains. Any watermains in excess of 6" in diameter w i 11 normally be considered oversized. The result of said subtraction w i 11 be the cost to be assessed. This will be divided by the total number of assessable feet to establish the assessment rate for said presently utilized parcel. b. New development property or property which has altered its land use within the past 3 years shall be assessed at 100%of the City's expense for the improvement. c. All side lot and double frontage parcels shall be determined to have 25 assessable feet for the first 200 feet of said side or second frontage of the parcel and shall conform to Paragraphs a. and b., above. d. Water services shall be assessed on a per service basis at 100%of the City's expense for such services. e. All odd and irregularly- shaped lots of four sides or less, which have rear widths that vary by more than 25% i n comparison w i t h the front width, the 1 o t w i 1 1 be assumed to have a depth equal to one-half the sum of the two sides and said depth will be divided into the area of the lot to determine the assessable frontage. A 11 lots of more than four sides w i 11 be geometrically converted to a four-sided lot of equal area, then the odd- 1 o t formula as stated above, w i 11 be used to determine the assessable frontage. Where this is not practical, the assessable frontage w i 1 1 be determined by assuming the lot to have an assessable frontage equal to those of the typical rectangular lots near it which are comparable i n overall area and nature. 8. Nonmotorized pathways, including sidewalks, shall be assessed on a front footage basis as follows: a. A 11 City expenses involved, including, but not limited to, such items as right-of-way acquisition, legal, engineering and administrative costs, shall be included in the costs to be assessed.
