Assessments for sidewalk improvement, construction and repair
and curbing may be levied by the Board in accordance with the provisions
of §§ 66.0701 and 66.0703, Wis. Stats.
Except as modified by the regulations for the division and platting
of land in Title 18, Subdivisions, of this Code, the construction
cost of storm sewers is to be prorated. For the purpose of having
the cost of storm sewers equitably proportioned between the Village
and the property owners, the cost of the same shall be prorated as
follows:
A. The amount which the owner shall pay shall be based upon the ratio
of the area of each owner's "contributing parcel" fronting on or within
500 feet of said improvement to the entire "contribution area" tributary
to said improvement.
B. A "contributing parcel" shall be defined as:
1. A lot within a platted subdivision, the majority of whose area contributes
to an abutting street which contains or drains to said improvement;
or
2. An unplatted parcel of land which fronts on or contributes to a street
containing or draining to the said improvement, where:
a.
The depth shall be defined as 135 feet as measured at right
angles to the street line where the drainage area falls away from
the street or improvement; or
b.
The depth shall be defined as the depth of the parcel from the
street line or from the improvement, where no street exists, to the
rear limits of the contributing drainage area where the drainage area
contributes to the said improvement and where no future storm sewer
extensions will be made in the parcel's drainage area;
c.
In Subsection B.2 of this section, where future storm sewer
extensions will be made into the drainage area, the depth shall be
considered as 135 feet as measured at right angles to the said future
improvement.
d.
The width shall be defined as the width of the contributing
parcel which falls within the tributary drainage area of said improvement.
C. The "contribution area" shall be defined as the sum of all "contributing
parcels," defined above, to be assessed and shall not include street
area.
D. The cost of said improvement shall be considered to include the storm
sewer and all connections and appurtenances thereto.
E. The cost of said improvements shall be considered to include an engineering
and administration fee of 15%.
F. The cost for the services for obtaining assessment bonds for the
purpose of paying for this improvement program shall be a part of
the cost of this said improvement.
G. The cost per square foot to be assessed to the contributing and/or
abutting property shall be the ratio of the total cost of the improvement
to the total number of square feet in the contribution area.
