A. Lots in the District are specially benefited since street lighting not only increases the market value of an individual Lot, but also increases safety in the District surrounding individual Lots and the ability of Lot owners to use their individual Lots after dark;

B. The benefit from improved street lighting varies according to the relative size of the affected Lots. Residential Lots benefit from improved street lighting uniformly because of the small variation in size throughout the District;

C.

D. Lots which do not receive a special benefit have been and shall be excluded from the non-ad valorem special assessment for street lighting.
