All petitions presented to Council requesting street improvements must be prepared and secured from the office of the Director of Law. The following requirements shall be made a part of every petition agreed to and approved by the signers of the petition:
(a) The total cost of sanitary sewers, less one-fiftieth and intersections, shall be assessed on the basis of foot frontage of all property affected by such improvement, and paid by the property owner.
(b) The total cost of construction of streets shall be assessed on the basis of the foot frontage, limited as follows:
(1) The total cost of street improvements and all necessary appurtenances, less one-fiftieth of the total project cost, all intersection costs and any reductions required by law, and shall be assessed on the basis of foot frontage of all property affected by such improvement, and paid by the property owner. However, the maximum cost to the property owners shall not exceed eighty percent of the project cost.
(2) The excess cost of street improvements above the assessment established in subsection (b)(1) hereof shall be assumed by the City with the Storm Water Division contributing five dollars ($5.00) per front foot to offset the cost to the General Fund of the City.
(Ord. 10726/94. Passed 11-9-94.)
(a) Corner Lots. For the purpose of this section, all lots or parcels of land bounding and abutting upon two or more intersecting streets, alleys or public thoroughfares, shall be known as corner lots.
(b) Front Side of Lot. The side of any lot or parcel of land which has the least amount of frontage shall be known as the front side of the lot or parcel of land. In the event that both sides of a corner lot have the same amount of frontage on the intersecting streets, alleys or public thoroughfares, then the front side of the corner lot shall be the same side as the front side of the nearest lot or parcel of land upon which a dwelling or principal building has been constructed.
(c) Assessment by Frontage. For the purposes of assessing the cost and expense of assessable improvements of the street upon which the front side of any corner lot abuts, the entire footage of the front side of the corner lot shall be used in computing such assessment by application of the assessing rate per foot.
(d) Assessment for Side of Corner Lot. For the purpose of assessing the cost and expense of improvements of the street upon which the side of such corner lot, other than the front side, abuts, two-thirds of the frontage of the front side of such lot shall be deducted from the frontage of the side of such lot where the improvement is to be made. The balance of the frontage on the side of such lot shall be used in computing such assessment by the application of the assessing rate per foot.
(e) Application of Section. The provisions of this section shall apply only to streets which have been permanently improved and which otherwise conform with Chapter 1115
of the Planning and Zoning Code.
(Ord. 4600/54. Passed 5-17-54.)
The Engineer's Department is authorized to determine actual value for assessment purposes of vacant lots or parcels of land in the Municipal corporation by the sale price as may be indicated or determined from the deeds for such lots, or identical lots, recorded in the Trumbull County Recorder's office, provided such deeds have been transferred and recorded within the last five years.
The Director of Public Service and Safety is authorized to employ at least two appraisers for the purpose of determining actual value of vacant lots for assessment purposes under Ohio R.C. 727.02 in all cases in which the Engineer's Department is unable to find a deed transferring and recording the property within the last five years, and in all cases where the Engineer's Department is unable to determine the sale price from any deed so recorded. The cost of hiring the appraisers shall be included in the cost of the improvement.
(Ord. 5607/60. Passed 4-18-60.)
(a) Definitions. For the purpose of this section, all lots or parcels of land bounding and abutting upon two or more intersecting streets, alleys or public thoroughfares shall be known as "corner lots".
For the purpose of this section, the side of any lot or parcel of land which has the least amount of frontage shall be known as the "front side" of the lot or parcel of land. In the event that both sides of a corner lot have the same amount of frontage on the intersecting streets, alleys or public thoroughfares, then the front side of the corner lot shall be the same side as the front side of the nearest lot or parcel of land upon which a dwelling or principal building has been constructed.
(b) Computing Footage. For the purpose of assessing the cost and expense of assessable sanitary sewer and water main extension improvements upon which the front and/or side of any corner lot abuts, only the footage of the front side of the lot shall be used in computing such assessment by application of the assessing rate per foot.
When a sanitary sewer extension or water main extension abuts the side of a corner lot and there is no such improvement along the front, then the footage of the front side shall be used in computing the assessment.
(c) Assumption of Costs. All other cost and expense for the improvement along the front and/or side shall be assumed by the City.
The aforementioned costs to be assumed by the City shall be known as a part of the City share along with the cost of intersections and one-fiftieth of the cost of the property share.
(d) Water Main Extensions. The City Water Department shall assume all costs known as the "City share" when such improvement is a water main extension.
(Ord. 4959/56. Passed 5-7-56.)
