properties have been adjusted by the amount in excess of the additional 25 feet paid in FY 94/95.
The assessment for residential properties such as condominium buildings will also be on a front
footage basis,and will be billed to the respective condominium associations. The estimated annual
cost of providing this benefit is $50.92 per front foot.
