[Ord. 170, 4/5/1954, §§ 1-4]
1.
The Board may, with petition or without petition, grade, curb, gutter,
pave, macadamize, or otherwise improve streets or parts thereof, or
a particular width or additional widths thereof, with or without the
assistance or contribution of the state, county, or a corporation
occupying the thoroughfare, and may assess and collect the costs thereof,
or part of the cost not thus aided or contributed, as herein provided,
not exceeding 2/3 of the total, from the owners of real estate abutting
on the improvement, by an equal assessment on the foot front, including
the expense of the necessary drainage.
2.
The Board may make equitable adjustments for corner lots or lots
of irregular shape where an assessment for full frontage would be
unjust.
3.
Property not otherwise assessable shall become assessable by the
petition of the owner or the owner's representatives.
4.
In all cases where improvements are made under this Part, the Board
shall assess 1/3 of the cost thereof against the Township and 2/3
of the cost thereof against the abutting property owners.
