applicable, that paid for constructing the line, subject to the limitations of this <br />division and applicable law. If the city constructs or pays any portion of the costs <br />to construct the line, any pro rata fees collected will be paid to the city in <br />proportion to its participation, subject to the limitations of this division. <br />(b) Calculation of pro rata fee. The total cost of the electric primary line, <br />together with all appurtenances, as approved and determined by the director will <br />be apportioned across the length of the line establishing a unit cost per linear foot. <br />The amount of the pro rata fee assessed against any property shall be the unit cost <br />per linear foot multiplied by the number of linear feet of the front footage of the <br />subject property that abuts the easement or public right -of -way associated with <br />the electric primary line for which pro rata fees have been authorized. If the <br />easement or public right -of -way associated with the line is abutted on two or more <br />sides by tracts or parcels of land subject to the pro rata fee assessment, the pro <br />rata fee will be divided equally or proportionately between or among the abutting <br />properties. <br />(1) Determining front footage: Front footage is measured along the he length in <br />feet along the property line of a tract or parcel of land which abuts the <br />easement or public right -of -way associated with the line. If the property <br />abuts more than one easement or right -of -way, associated with a line <br />subject to reimbursement from pro rata fees, the property shall be subject <br />to the pro rata fee assessment associated with the line to which a <br />connection will be made. Thereafter, the property be subject to <br />additional assessments associated with any additional lines to which <br />connections are made, if any. <br />(2) Alternate fee calculation. If the director fords that property subject to a <br />pro rata fee assessment is so situated or shaped that applying the front <br />footage calculation above results in an inequitable allocation of the pro <br />rata fee assessment relative to other property in the line's service area, he <br />or she may apply an alternate fee calculation as provided in this paragraph. <br />The director shall establish a unit cost for the improvements by dividing <br />the approved total cost of the improvements by the total land area of the <br />properties eligible to be served by the improvements. The fee to be <br />assessed against a property under this paragraph shall be the product of the <br />unit cost multiplied by the land area of the property to be assessed. <br />(3) Equitable adjustments to pro rata fee assessments. The director may <br />make adjustments to the apportionment of pro rata fees assessed against a <br />property upon a finding that, due to physical constraints of the propert y <br />and any improvements thereon and/or any other legal constraints under <br />applicable laws, rules or standards, a beneficial connection from the <br />property to a line associated with the pro rata fee assessment cannot be <br />made or the benefit to the property is limited to a degree substantially <br />greater than other properties connecting to the line. Any adjustments <br />under this subsection shall be subject to review and reconsideration based <br />
