(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.
