(a) The portion of the cost of any improvement to be assessed against the
property in the improvement district as determined in K.S.A. 12-6a04, and
amendments thereto, shall be apportioned against the property in accordance
with the special benefits accruing thereto by reasons of such improvement or
in accordance with the provisions of any petition submitted pursuant to
subsection (b) or (c) of K.S.A. 12-6a04, and amendments thereto. The cost
may be assessed equally per front foot or per square foot against all lots and
pieces of land within such improvement district or assessed against such
property according to the value of the lots and pieces of land therein as
determined by the governing body
of the city with or without regard to the buildings and improvements thereon
or as set forth in the petition requesting such improvement or the cost
may be determined and fixed on the basis of any other reasonable assessment
plan which will result in imposing substantially equal burdens or shares of
the cost upon property within the improvement district similarly
benefited. The governing body may from time to time determine and establish by
ordinance reasonable general classifications and formulae for the apportionment
of the cost between the city and the area to be assessed, and the methods of
assessing the special benefits, for various classes of improvements.
(b) This section shall not be construed to limit the adoption of any
assessment plan for any improvement that recognizes varying benefit levels
to property within the improvement district and imposes assessments in
relation thereto.
