[Adopted as Ch. 100 of the 2000 Code]
[Ord. No. 03-01]
The purpose of this article is to establish storm and sanitary
sewer connection charges for certain properties within the City to
recover the costs of designing and constructing major storm or sanitary
sewer facilities from property owners who connect to such facilities
subsequent to their construction. In the event the Council determines
the necessity of constructing a major storm or sanitary sewer facility
and determines that the utilization of a connection charge is the
most equitable manner in which to recover the City's costs associated
therewith, the Council shall first hold a public hearing on the proposed
adoption of an ordinance to establish a benefited district and a connection
charge.
[Ord. No. 03-01]
The following terms are defined for use in this article:
That area of the City to which storm or sanitary sewer service
can feasibly be provided by a major storm or sanitary sewer facility
of a given design and capacity.
The act of connecting a building storm or sanitary sewer
to a lateral sewer or manhole constituting a part of a major storm
or sanitary sewer facility, or the act of connecting a lateral sewer
serving a subdivision to a trunk sewer or manhole constituting a part
of a major storm or sanitary sewer facility.
Includes storm or sanitary sewer mains, storm or sanitary
sewer trunk lines or storm or sanitary sewer interceptors eight inches
in diameter or larger, and storm or sanitary sewer force mains, pumping
stations and detention basins.
[Ord. No. 03-01]
A.
After the effective date of the
ordinance establishing a benefited district and a connection charge,
no owner of property within the district, whose property is eligible
for connection to the storm or sanitary sewer facility, shall make
such connection until the required connection charge has been paid.
If land use is different than residential and the proposed development
uses considerably less sanitary sewer than DNR design criteria, the
minimum acreage fee may be revised with the approval of the City Engineer.
The sewer connection charge required by this article is in addition
to, and not in lieu of, any other fees required under the plumbing
code or other provisions of this Code of Ordinances. In the event
a property owner makes a connection to the storm or sanitary sewer
facility without having paid the required connection charge, the City
shall disconnect the building storm or sanitary sewer until the required
charge has been paid.
B.
Beginning January 1, 2003, the
connection charges set forth in the subsequent sections of this article
will be calculated with a 5.0% increase as of each January 1 following
adoption of the particular hookup fee. In no event will the connection
fee calculated hereunder exceed twice the amount of the original connection
fee.
