(A) All corner lots, lots of abnormal size and other lots that have a particular or peculiar situation shall be treated individually according to the facts concerned, taking into consideration the city's investment and no decision shall be made whereby any portion ultimately will be waived.
(B) For example:
(1) A corner lot of 80 feet by 160 feet with improvements constructed on both sides normally would be subject to 80 plus 160 feet or 240 feet. For the purpose of this section, the lot shall be subject to the 80 feet of frontage in addition to 80 feet on the side for the rear part where a future building may be constructed, and subject to the recovery of funds invested.
(2) The same corner lot as described in division (A) above with construction or building located so as to take up the major portion of the lot (not evenly divided on the 160 feet) shall be subject to the 160 feet.
(3) Long lots where there is a considerable amount of frontage that is considered an integral part of the improvements and likely not to be broken up shall be subject to the whole front.
(4) Long lots or properties where the improvement is located so as to make a building lot of a reasonable size, according to zoning requirements, may be detached for the purpose of this section. In the event this lot is not so used within ten years, the remainder shall become due and payable and shall be deemed a lien on the property.
