VILLAGE Or PLYMOUTH, that the following resolution serve the
official policy relating to assessment policies and procedures'
in the Village of Plymouth to be applied to local Improvements,
until otherwise resolved, made within the Village specifically
including, but not necessarily limited to 1066 Sanitary Sewer 1 A-1:
That the general poll -:.y to be applied in assessment
procedures throughout the Village for the current improvements,
and for future improvements, until otherwise resolved, shall
be referred to as the front Footage, average area assessment
method;
That this method is hereby adop-.,ed to most equitably
assess all benefitting property owners, and particularly to
provide assessment procedures to be implemented in the
following situations:
0
a. If lots are to be assessed on a front footage
basis, lots of equal area and equal front
footage shall be assessed equally The general
rule is to assess a lot by computing the front
footage, and exceptions to be delineated shall
be permitted when the front footage computation
does not accurately and/or equitably assess the
property in question.
b. In an area where lots are of equal front footage,
but where the lots may vary in land area as,
for example, a cul-de-sac area, the front
footage amount for the lots of larger area shall
be increased by the following ratio: the square
foot area of the smaller lot is to the square foot
area of the larger lot as the front footage of
the smaller lot is to "x", (the assessable
front footage of the larger lot). Example: Lot A,
100 foot frontage, 20,000 foot square; Lot B,
100 foot frontage, 30,000 foot square. Lot B would
be assessed for 150 feet of front footage.
c. Where lots in an area front on a curvilinear street
and the front foot,%ges vary accordingly, assuming,
however, that all lots are of equal area up to a
permissible variance of 20%, the total front foot-
age in an area shall be added and divided by the
number of lots to nrrivo at the front footage to be
assessed to each lot in tho area. Example: on a
curvilinear street there are 20 lots on both sides
of a street, of varying frontages, the total front
footage is 2,000 foot, therefore each lot would be
assessed for 100 feet.
d. The shorter exterior lot line shall be considered the
front lot line, irrespective of the direction of any
structure thereon, on corner lots.
e. Where a lot is in excess of 97,000 square foot and
may be feasibly subdivided, to provide for an
additional structure, the lot shall be so divided
for assessrront purposes only and assessed accordingly.
f. All trailer courts shall be assessed as each trailer
equal to one unit.
g. All apartments shall be assessed as each apartment
as one unit.
That the above are merely illustrations of the application
of the area average method of assessment and that there are
other problems that may arise and the Council desires the
method above described to be consistently applied to most
equitably assess benefitting property pursuant to the require-
ments of Minnesota law.

Furthermore, as to the illustrations contained herein,
the methodology adopted is also merely a guide for preparation
of assessment rolls and in situations where it would be
inequitable or inaccurate to assess according to the
illustrations other consistent and equitable procedures
shall be adopted.
