The "mnit area" for assessment purposes shall be the average unit area of the subdivided parcels lying within the area of benefit. Large units which may be divided into two (2) or more average units shall be assessed accordingly. Park areas shall be excluded from assessments. For corner lots the unit area assessment shall be adjusted such that any corner lot abutting any assessable street improvement shall be assessed only once. In the event that only one street adjacent to a corner lot is improved, the corner lot shall be assessed at the time that the street which the driveway enters into is improved. However, in the event the driveway from a corner lot enters into a major thoroughfare or collector street which is improved by other .than local ftunds, that lot shall be assessed for a one-half unit at the time the side street is improved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the driveway servingthe corner lot which enters the major thoroughfare or collector street was constructed after April 30, 1972 (the date of the City's first subdivision ordi- nance) and said driveway was constructed in violation of the City ordinance and Code regulating the placement of driveways and access onto thoroughfare and collector streets, said corner~ lot will be assessed as one full unit. 6. "Routine Maintenance" shall consist of maintaining streets in their origina~ condition at the time of their acceptance by the City. Seal coating and "overlays" shall not be construed as routine maintenance. SECTION 2. EFFECTIVE DATE This ordinance becomes effective upon its passage and publication according to law.
