Whenever any person applies for a connection to a sewer main
and neither such person nor his or her predecessor in interest has
paid the proportionate share of the cost of the sewer main, with respect
to the property served, no application shall be acted upon, allowed
or approved by the city or any of its administrative employees, until
such person shall have paid to the city his or her proportionate share
of the cost of such sewer main according to the terms, schedules and
conditions set forth in this chapter.
(Ord. 7060 § 1, 1980)
It shall be the duty of the Utilities Director to prepare a
plat map and indicate on the plat map those certain parcels of land
that have contributed their full share towards the construction of
the sewer main.
(Ord. 7060 § 1, 1980; Ord. CS-164 § 3, 2011)
When any person connects to a sewer main, and such person or
his/her predecessor in interest has not paid for his or her proportionate
share of the cost of the main as indicated on the plat map on file
in the office of the Utilities Director, then such person shall pay
to the city an amount of money that is equal to the number of front
feet of the property that abuts upon the sewer main multiplied by
the amount of money that is fixed from time to time by the City Council
as being the cost per foot per connection; except when such person
is the owner of a large undeveloped frontage, then in that event,
the owner shall be required to pay for a minimum frontage of 75 feet;
provided, that all of the following conditions prevail:
A.
That
the portion of the property being connected to the sewer main shall
totally contain the residence of the owner, together with sufficient
side yard setbacks as required by applicable zoning law;
B.
That
sufficient area remain in the unconnected portion of the property
in which to construct one or more living units in accordance with
the applicable zoning laws.
(Ord. 7060 § 1, 1980; Ord. CS-164 § 3, 2011)
The City Council may by resolution approve a plat map for an area benefited by a sewer main which provides for a fee determined by dividing the cost of the sewer main by the number of dwelling units served instead of the cost per front foot as provided in Section 13.08.030. The provisions of this section are an alternative to those of Section 13.08.030 which may be used when the City Council determines that they will result in a more equitable fee.
(Ord. 7068 § 1, 1984)
Subdividers shall be required to extend to the external limits
of the subdivision all sewer lines placed in the streets within the
subdivision. There may also be imposed by the city a requirement that
sewer improvements installed by a developer for the benefit of the
development shall contain supplemental size or capacity, or extend
across property outside the development.
(Ord. 7060 § 1, 1980)
In the event of the installation of sewer improvements required by Section 13.08.040, the city may enter into an agreement with the developer to reimburse the developer for that portion of the cost of such sewer improvements equal to the difference between the amount it would have cost the developer to install such sewer improvements to serve the development only and the actual cost of such sewer improvements.
(Ord. 7060 § 1, 1980)
In order to pay the costs as required by Section 13.08.050, the city may:
A.
Collect
from other persons, including public agencies, using such improvements
for the benefit of real property not within the development a reasonable
charge for such use;
B.
Contribute
to the developer that part of the cost of improvements that is attributable
to the benefit of real property outside the development and levy a
charge upon the real property benefited to reimburse itself for such
cost paid to the development;
C.
Establish
and maintain local benefit districts for the levy and collection of
such charge or costs from the property benefited.
(Ord. 7060 § 1, 1980)
