upon which they face. A corner lot in the Subdivision Residential
Class of less than two (2) acres in size may not be assessed on
more than one (1) side, unless it also abuts on two (2) parallel
streets, but the frontage assessed may be that determined to be
reasonable and fair by the Commission, giving consideration to
the frontage towards which the building on the lot would
naturally face. Lots running through with front and rear on
separate streets may be assessed on both front and rear. Any of
the lots in the foregoing categories may be assessed for their
full frontage even though a water main or sewer may not extend
along the full length of any boundary. Land classed as
agricultural by the Commission, when in actual use for farming or
trucking purposes, may not be assessed a front foot benefit when
the agricultural land has constructed through it or in front of
it a sewer or water main, until the time a water or sewer
connection is made. When so made and for every connection, the
land shall become liable to a front foot assessment for a
reasonable frontage, not to exceed a three-hundred-foot front, as
may be determined by the Commission, and shall be assessed
immediately at the rate of assessment determined upon by the
Commission for agricultural land. Public parks or playgrounds
owned by a municipal corporation and any property or building
owned by EITHER a regularly organized volunteer fire department
OR A VOLUNTEER RESCUE SQUAD, while so used for public purposes,
[is] ARE exempt from the imposition of a benefit charge. The
Commission may provide further for a hiatus in the imposition and
collection of a benefit assessment for any property otherwise
assessable with respect to a sanitary sewer line, which property
cannot, in the judgment of the Commission, obtain service from
the sewer pipe upon which the benefit would be based. The
Commission may provide for a hiatus in the imposition and the
collection of a benefit charge with respect to a water main when
the owner of the property otherwise subject to it under the
provisions of this section is not permitted to connect to the
water main by the Commission on account of the absence of a
sanitary sewer or finding by the County Health department that a
septic system would not be approved for the disposal of the water
for which the connection is requested and the extension of an
improved sewerage system is not reasonably feasible. The
suspension of the benefit charge shall terminate at any time a
connection with the Commission's sewer pipe or water main, as the
case may be, is made by the owner of the property. Upon that
occurrence, the property shall be classified and the benefit.
charge shall commence and be collected as hereinafter provided
with respect to land or property for which benefit charges had
been exempted or suspended initially and the exemption or
suspension is no longer applicable. If property in the sanitary
district is, at the time of construction of a Commission water
line or sanitary sewer line, connected to a public water system
or public sewer system operated either by a municipal corporation
or by a water or sewer company subject to the requirements of the
Maryland State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, or if
following construction of the Commission line the property is
connected to the other specified public system pursuant to
Commission authorization, the property is exempt from the
