(a) The primary assessment for each lot
abutting on and served by the sewage works shall be determined by
dividing the estimated total cost of the sewage works by the total
number of lots.
(b) The total number of lots shall be computed as follows:
(1) If all or any part of the sewage works is located within an area
platted or to be platted, each lot abutting on and served by the
sewage works as shown in the plat shall be included in the total
number of lots.
(2) If all or any part of the sewage works is located within an area
that:
(A) is unplatted;
(B) contains a residence on each parcel of land; and
(C) is subject to zoning restrictions that prevent an increase in
the number of residences;
each parcel of land that is abutting on or served by the sewage
works and that contains a residence shall be included in the total
number of lots as if the parcel was a platted lot.
(3) Except as provided in subdivision (2), if all or any part of the
sewage works is located in an unplatted area, the number of lots
to be included in the total number of lots shall be determined by
dividing:
(A) the total front footage of the property abutting on and
served by the sewage works within the unplatted area on either
or both sides of the street, alley, or right-of-way in which the
sewage works are located; by
(B) one hundred twenty-five (125) feet.
The result determined under clauses (A) and (B) shall be rounded
to the nearest whole number.
(4) The front footage of property may not be used to determine the
number of lots included in an unplatted area if the front footage:
(A) is not available for future development; or
(B) is restricted against usage because of:
(i) limited access; or
(ii) any other reasons.
(5) The total number of lots for a particular sewage works is the
sum of the number of platted and unplatted lots as determined
under subdivisions (1) through (4).
