[Adopted by Ord. No. 12-18 (Ch. 100A of the 2000 Code)]
The purpose of this article is to establish access or connection charges for certain properties within the City to recover the costs of designing and constructing various facilities, not covered by Article VI of this chapter, from property owners who connect to such facilities subsequent to their construction. In the event the Council determines the necessity of constructing a major facility and determines that the utilization of an access or 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 an access or connection charge.
The following terms are defined for use in this article:
BENEFITED DISTRICT
That area of the City established by agreement between the City and owner to which service can feasibly be provided by a major facility of a given design and capacity.
CONNECTION
The act of connecting private property to public property by use of the platting process.
MAJOR FACILITY OR FACILITIES
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, detention basins or streets.
After the effective date of the ordinance establishing a benefited district and an access or connection charge, no owner of property within the district, whose property is eligible for connection to a major facility, shall make such connection until the required access or connection charge has been paid. The access or connection charge required by this article is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other fees required under any other provisions of this Code of Ordinances. In the event a property owner makes a connection to a major facility without having paid the required access or connection charge, the City shall disconnect the connection until the required charge has been paid.
