(Ord. 2002-29 § 2 (part), 2002; Ord. 2003-16 § 32 (part), 2003)
A. 
Equitable Share. The front footage fee (FFF) shall be proportionate to and based on one-half of the cost of providing distribution and collection system mains to previously unserviced property desiring connection to a city-installed main. The fee shall reflect the equitable share for the connection to the utility’s system and shall be computed based on front footage of the property.
B. 
Basis for Calculation. The calculation of the front footage fee shall be based on the total front footage of rectangular shaped parcels of property under individual ownership fronting the main and served by the main at the time of connection.
C. 
Corner Lots and Nonabutting Properties. Properties situated on corner lots abutting utility mains on two sides shall have the front footage charge computed by averaging the two sides. Properties served which are not abutting a utility main and wherein it is undesirable to extend or install a utility main shall be assessed a front footage fee equivalent to fifty feet of footage.
D. 
Irregular Shaped Parcels. Irregularly shaped parcels of property with frontage of less than fifty feet of frontage abutting a utility main shall be assessed a minimum front footage fee equivalent to fifty feet of footage.
E. 
Payment of Front Footage Fees. The front footage fee shall be assessed and paid at the time of the issuance of the building permit and shall be in addition to rates and other fees, assessments, and charges established for service.
