separate assessment units due to differences in character and
I location or otherwise,

facilities to portions of Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek subdivision, The lots to be
included within Assessment Unit No. 1 and assessed for costs of providing the natural gas
servici ~ facilities include Lots 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 37 within Block 1 of

equitable basis and that such assessment shall be in proportion to the special benefits derived

defrayed by special assessments. The estimated assessment per acre based upon
such
estimat d cost is $3,946.33,
