74.130 Classification of lands for assessments -- Report.
(1)
(2)
(3)
The commission shall examine the real estate in the district that may be
affected by the proposed water system, and classify it into five (5) classes
according to the benefit it will receive from the construction and operation of
the water system. The real estate receiving the most benefit shall be marked
"class A," and the other classes shall be marked "class B," "class C," "class D"
and "class E," respectively, the real estate receiving the smallest benefit being
marked "class E." All real estate actually receiving water shall be placed in the
highest classification. The amount of real estate owned by any person in each
class, and the extent benefited shall be determined. The scale of assessment
to be made by the commission upon the several classes shall be in the ratio of
five (5), four (4), three (3), two (2) and one (1). The classification shall form the
basis of the assessment of benefits to the real estate for all purposes.
If the commission believes that substantial injustice will be done any landowner
by strict conformity to the five (5) class rule above, the classification may be
changed by diminishing or increasing the number of classes so as to conform
to existing conditions.
The commission shall make a report containing a statement of the estimated
cost of the work and improvement to be made in the district, a description of all
real estate in the district, showing the amount of real estate in each class, in
tabulated form, and the names of the owners, and a statement of the estimated
benefits that will accrue to each class of real estate by reason of the
construction of the proposed improvements.
