Combination of Lots. Any property owner wishing to limit assessments to a given number of units may do so by signing an agreement, to be pre- pared by the City Attorney, limiting the use of a parcel, lot or combination thereof to one or more dwelling units. The policy of lot combinations shall apply only to contiguous lots devoted or to be devoted to use as dwelling units, except as hereinafter provided: (a) Lots or parcels devoted or to be devoted to use as a single family dwelling unit will be treated as a single assessable unit, notwithstanding the fact that such lot or parcel is severed by a road easement. (b) Any combination of (a) above, combined with a second lot and such combination devoted or to be devoted to use as a single family dwelling unit shall be treated as follows: if said second lot fronts on a platted street, such frontage will be added to the frontage on the longest side of said road easement and the total thereof shall constitute the frontage of the combination upon which the unit charge is calculated. 3. Assessory Uses. Any parcel, lot or combination thereof devoted or to be devoted to use as one single family dwelling, but containing one or more assessory buildings as defined in applicable Medina Codes and Ordinances, shall be treated as a single assessable unit but subject to the applicable front footage charge for any frontage in excess of 120 feet. 4. Small Lift Stations. Where a lift station has been provided to serve no more than one dwelling unit, the initial capital cost and installation thereof shall be borne by the entire project. Thereafter, maintenance costs, replacement costs, electrical power, and all other costs shall be borne by the owner of the dwelling unit. 5. Connection Charges. Pursuant to MSA. §444. 075, et sec, the City Council shall by ordinance provide that any real property not assessed under Independence Beach Sanitary Sewer and Water Project, which is later combined with a parcel, lot or combination thereof, or comes on line and derives benefit from the said Sanitary Sewer and Water Project, shall pay a connection charge for sewer and/or water according to the assessment formulae set forth herein, provided however, that no parcel, lot or combination thereof devoted or to be devoted to use as a single family dwelling unit shall pay a greater combined assessment and connection charge than said parcel, lot or combination thereof would have paid, had it been so combined and assessed on the date of the adoption of the assessment roll of said Improvement Project.
