The following policies pertaining to the calculation of curb assessments for street reconstruction projects are hereby established:
(a) Curbing is assessed by using the contract price for the curb and the effective frontage feet (EFF) taken from the County tax map or property summary sheets obtained from the Williams County Auditor.
(b) Existing curb is replaced at Village expense regardless of condition or location as long as existing curb is on the public right of way. (i.e., Washington St. projects 1990s).
(c) Village pays for curb on corner radius and open alleys.
(d) Property owner pays for curb on vacated streets and alleys.
(e) Corner Lots: Property owner pays assessments on their longest side only even if both sides were not curbed on the same improvement project.
(f) Corner Lots: If the shortest side was assessed in a prior project, then the difference between the footage previously assessed and longest side would be the maximum assessment for future projects.
(g) Corner Lots: Property owner has existing curb which will be replaced this project; however, the longest side is not curbed. Assessment based on difference between the existing curbing and the EFF of the longest side.
(h) Property may not have had a full frontage of existing curb. Assessment would be the difference between existing curb and EFF.
(i) Corner Lots: Property has existing curb; however, it is not close to where the new proposed curb will be located and no consideration is given to the condition of the existing curb in this or any case. This project assessment is again zero dollars.
These policies are guidelines only and may be changed by Council at any time.
