Key legal question
Whether the corner-lot owner derived a compensable special benefit from the road works.
Extracted holding
The improvement created an objectively measurable special benefit for the parcel, even if the owner disputed any immediate increase in value.
Extracted reasoning
Perimeter charges are justified when a public facility gives economic special advantages to certain beneficiaries. The benefit need not be individually realized, only objectively available and parcel-related. Improved access and prevention of overuse problems constitute such a benefit.
