Assessment charges for such sewers shall be computed at the rate of $79 per linear foot of lot frontage payable over a period of 20 years. The method used to calculate the sewer assessment is as follows:
Case No. 1: A lot fronting on a street with sewer accommodations will be computed by multiplying the lot frontage by $79 per linear foot.
Case No. 2: A corner lot shall be assessed at the rate of $79 for each linear foot of lot frontage on the side of the lot that is adjacent to the sewer.
Case No. 3: A corner lot where the sewer abuts both sides of the lot shall be assessed by multiplying the longest side of the lot by $79 per linear foot.
Case No. 4: A corner lot where the sewer abuts both sides of the lot and has a frontage on the long side in excess of 150 feet, yet has an area of less than 20,000 square feet, shall be assessed for 150 feet of frontage at $79 per linear foot.
Case No. 5: A lot fronting on two streets (not a corner lot) both of which are sewered and cannot be further subdivided based on current zoning of the lot shall be assessed for the longest side at the rate of $79 per linear foot.
Case No. 5a: A lot fronting on two streets (not a corner lot) both of which are sewered and can be further subdivided based on current zoning of the lot shall be assessed at the rate of $79 per linear foot of lot frontage on each street.
Case No. 6: Lots that do not front on a Town accepted road and that will receive sewer connections through a driveway, right-of-way, easement, paper road, etc., shall be assessed at the rate of $79 per linear foot for a minimum lot frontage of 50 feet plus the width of the driveway, right-of-way, easement, paper road, etc.
Case No. 7: If the frontage of a lot is less than 50 feet, then it shall be considered to have a minimum of 50 feet of frontage for sewer assessment purposes and shall be assessed at the rate of $79 per linear foot.
If a situation arises that does not conform to the cases enumerated hereinabove, the director of public works or his designee is hereby authorized to compute the sewer assessment in accordance with the method set forth in the ordinance, which in his sole discretion best describes said situations.
Any prior sewer assessment payments made to the Town of Cumberland for the projects listed herein will be credited to the new assessment made pursuant to this ordinance.
The Finance Director shall permit deferred payment of annual installments of sewer assessments made pursuant to article I of this ordinance with respect to lots not connected to the Town's sewer system which are owned and used as principal residence by a person or persons (i) at least one of whom has attained the age of 65 or is disabled and (ii) who had gross household income of $15,000 or less for the preceding calendar year. Any person desiring to defer payment of an annual installment shall apply to the finance director in writing within 30 days after mailing of the installment bill for permission to do so. No deferral shall be allowed unless the applicant files a timely application setting forth the factual basis for the deferral request. Any deferred payments shall be due not later than the earlier of (i) any connection from the property to the Town's sewer system or (ii) any transfer of the property. Interest will not be charged on payments deferred pursuant to this section.
Sewer assessment rate bills shall be due and payable on the date stated therein and all sewer assessment rate bills remaining unpaid 31 days thereafter shall carry, until collected, a penalty at the same percentage rate established by the Town for unpaid property taxes, upon the unpaid amount and the current penalty charge for each billing period.
The properties as listed in Exhibit "1997 Bond Sewer Assessment, Monastery and Chapel Four Corners Area", attached to Ord. No. 01-34, are subject to a sewer assessment charge of $68 per linear foot. Such charge is payable in equal annual payments over the remaining life of the bond, 18 years.
