If none of the above conditions can be certified by the City Engineer, no permit to tap or connect to any sanitary sewer or water main shall be issued unless the applicant shall pay an additional connection fee or fees, which shall be equal to the portion of the cost of the construction and installation of water and sewer mains which would be assessable against the lot, tract or parcel to be served by the tapping or connection pursuant to that permit. The assessable cost shall be determined by the City Engineer upon a comparable basis per front foot as similar assessments for this type of public improvement were determined and levied in that district or area, then the calculation shall be made upon the basis of a uniform charge per front foot, which may have been or shall be estimated or levied for similar public improvement most recently constructed, this determination having regard for construction costs current on the date of the determination.
