Unless otherwise provided by the City Council, the original hard surfacing of streets shall be at the expense of the owners of the property abutting the street(s) to be hard surfaced with materials approved by the City Council. Total cost of the street improvement, including legal, engineering, grading, and any other costs related to the improvement, shall be assessed against the property on a frontage foot basis. The cost of each street or alley intersection shall be assessed to all lots according to area so as to include one-half of the property between the street improved and the next street, whether such property abuts upon such street or not, but in no case shall such property situated more than 300 feet from such intersection be assessed. When the improvement is in or upon any alley, the assessment area shall be confined to the property within the block or blocks improved, and if not platted into blocks, to the property within 150 feet of such alley.
