Questão jurídica principal
Whether the street widening created a beitragsrechtlich relevant benefit for the adjacent parcels.
Decisão extraída
No. A widening that neither newly serves nor improves the access of the land normally does not increase its value, and the traffic relief achieved here was attributable to through traffic, not to the appellants' land.
Fundamentação extraída
Under the old building law and the still-applicable local street/sewer regulation, owner contributions require a benefit to the property. The road was already sufficiently accessible at 7 meters; the extra width served collective through traffic, which the adjoining owners do not have to finance.
