In the alternative, the CITY may, in whole or in part, specially assess the costs and expenses incurred by the CITY; and the DEVELOPER and OWNER hereby waive any and all procedural and substantive objections to the installation and construction of the work and improvements and the special assessments resulting there from, including but not limited to notice and hearing requirements and any claim that the special assessments exceed benefit to the PLAT.
