465.34 MEETING OF APPRAISERS; DAMAGES AND BENEFITS.
At the time and place mentioned in the notice, the appraisers shall meet and thence proceed
to view the premises, and hear any evidence or proof offered by the parties interested and may
adjourn from time to time for the purpose aforesaid. When their view and hearing shall be
concluded they shall determine the amount of damages, if any, suffered by each piece or parcel of
land affected by the improvement. They shall determine the amount of special benefits, if any,
occurring by reason of diversion of water, drainage, or otherwise, to each piece or parcel of land
wherever situate and whether contiguous to the improvement or not. If the damages exceed the
benefits to any particular piece, the excess shall be awarded as damages. If the benefits exceed
the damages to any particular piece, the difference shall be assessed as benefits, but the total
assessment for benefits shall not be greater than the aggregate net award of damages added to the
estimated cost of construction; and in every case the benefits assessed upon the several parcels
shall be in proportion to the actual benefits received, and no assessment upon any particular piece
shall exceed the amount of actual special benefits after deducting the damages, if any.
