(A) Pursuant to the Authority conferred by Public Act 3 of 1895, being M.C.L.A. §§ 61.1 through 75.12, as amended, and the Village Charter, the cost of the following public improvements shall be paid for by special assessment against the abutting property and levied on a frontage foot basis in the percentages stated.
(1) Streets. Up to 50% each side.
(2) Curbs, gutters and curb rails. Up to 50% each side.
(3) Sidewalks. Seventy-five percent.
(B) Provided, however, that where an improvement, because of sound engineering practice, grade, topography or previous construction, must be located at some point not abutting the property but nevertheless benefitting the property, the improvement shall be considered as though it were abutting the property and shall be assessed accordingly.
(C) Provided further, that the above-stated percentages may be varied by resolution of the Council with respect to specific improvements if, in the discretion of the Council, the stated percentages would result in inequities.
