(A) The Commission shall have power to determine that the whole or any part of the cost of any improvement shall be defrayed by special assessments upon the property especially benefitted, but such determination shall not be made until the proceedings provided for in §§ 1.303 and 1.304 of this chapter shall have been completed.
(B) The Commission, in order to ascertain whether or not a reasonable number of property owners to be assessed desire any particular improvement to be made, may request and receive a petition therefor, or may receive such a petition voluntarily presented; but in either event such petition shall be advisory only and shall not be jurisdictional. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to require the filing of a petition as a prerequisite to the commencement of proceedings under this chapter, which proceedings may be commenced by the Commission on its own initiative.
