The provisions of this article shall apply to such areas within
the City of Norwalk which the Common Council shall from time to time
designate by resolution as "Special Services Districts" in accordance
with the provisions of Chapter 105a of the Connecticut General Statutes.
For the purposes of such designation, resolutions approved under this
article shall be treated as ordinances and shall be adopted according
to the procedures of § 1-191.1 of the Norwalk Code.
Any group of taxpayers of the City of Norwalk may apply for
designation of a contiguous area (within which their real property
is situated) as a Special Services District under this article, if
the area meets the requirements of this article. Said requirements
are that the area:
A. Does not receive some or all of the municipal services provided to
other areas of the City;
B. Desires to organize to provide such services to its residents; and
C. Does not overlap the territory of any other Special Services District
established under the provisions of this article.
Any group wishing to apply for designation as a Special Services
District under this article shall submit an application to the City
Clerk on forms to be prepared by said City Clerk. Said applications
shall include the following information:
A. The name and mailing address of every owner of real property within
said proposed district.
B. A map showing the exact boundary lines of the proposed district.
C. The taxing district, block and lot numbers for each parcel of real
property within said proposed district, and the assessed value, according
to the latest grand list for the City of Norwalk, of each parcel within
said proposed district.
D. A precise statement of the powers requested by the proposed district
under Chapter 105a of the Connecticut General Statutes.
The results of such referendum shall be calculated according to the terms of § 7-339(p) of the Connecticut General Statutes. Said results shall then be published in a newspaper of general circulation in such proposed district within 10 days of such referendum. If said referendum question has been approved, said proposed district shall become a Special Services District upon the publication of such notice and the recordation upon the Land Records of the City of Norwalk of a copy of the resolution and any accompanying documents approved by the Common Council under §
100-5 of the Norwalk Code.
