Editor's Note: This ordinance also superseded an ordinance adopted
3-14-1979 STM.
Pursuant to the provisions of Connecticut General Statutes, Section
7-253a, person(s) owning property within the Town of North Haven, which property
has been assessed for benefits resulting from sewer construction pursuant
to Section 7-249 and/or Section 7-251 of the Connecticut General Statutes
and which property owner(s) is (are) eligible for tax relief pursuant to Sections
12-129b and 12-170a of the Connecticut General Statutes, as amended, may apply
to the Sewer Commission of the Town of North Haven or its successor commission,
if any, on forms to be supplied by said Commission, for assessment payment
plans other than the installment payment plans permitted under Section 7-253
of the Connecticut General Statutes, which alternate assessment payment plans
may entitle the eligible property owner(s) to pay as little as the annual
interest charge as provided in Section 7-253 of the Connecticut General Statutes
on any deferred payments or outstanding balance of principal, provided that,
in any such optional method of payment, the outstanding balance of principal
and any delinquent interest payments shall become due and payable upon any
transfer of title to the property subject to such assessment or upon the death
of such property owner.
Any such optional method of payment shall be subject to annual review,
revisions and/or termination by the Sewer Commission, and any property owner(s)
may be required by the Commission, on an annual basis, to update any application
so approved so as to keep the Commission apprised of their eligibility and
financial status.
In no case shall the Commission be required to grant an optional payment
plan requiring only the interest payment set forth above, and in no case shall
the Commission require an optional payment plan which requires a greater payment
than permitted in Section 7-253. Within those guidelines, the Commission shall
have absolute discretion so long as it acts consistently in accordance with
the financial status of the applicants.
This ordinance shall be effective with respect to assessment of benefits
pursuant to Section 7-249 and Section 7-251 presently levied and unpaid, as
well as to any such assessment levied on or after the effective date hereof.
