A five-percent benefit assessment will be granted
to a parcel which does not have access to the system because:
A.
A lateral water or sewer distribution pipe has not
been constructed to said parcel, except this shall not be constructed
to permit a five-percent benefit assessment for a parcel within a
district or improvement area which does not have access to the system
but which is contained within an area for which a contract to provide
service is in existence.
B.
It is surrounded by another parcel over which it does
not have a utility easement. This provision applies to all parcels
acquired by deed, devise or otherwise prior to May 1976. In the event
a connection is made to the system, the parcel will pay a full benefit
assessment.
C.
It is wholly designated as flood plain by the Zoning
Ordinance of the Town of Poughkeepsie. In the event that only a portion
of the parcel is designated as a flood plain or the Zoning Ordinance
is amended changing the flood plain designation or permitting building
on a portion of the parcel, then that portion will pay a benefit assessment
as per the rules and regulations of the District.
When a subdivision contains lots which are situated
partly in one or more special districts or improvement areas which
provide the same services, each such lot shall be deemed to lie wholly
within that district or area in which the majority portion of the
lot actually lies. However, in the event, for whatever reason, a connection
is made to that district or area in which the minority portion of
the lot lies, then the lot shall be deemed to lie wholly within that
district or area.
A.
When a parcel of land is divided by a municipal boundary
and does not receive water and/or sewer service from a special district
or improvement area of the Town of Poughkeepsie but does receive such
service from another municipal body, that portion of the parcel which
lies within the boundaries of a Town of Poughkeepsie special district
or improvement area shall be placed on a five-percent benefit assessment.
B.
This shall not be construed to prohibit the imposition
of a benefit assessment for vacant land contained within a special
district or improvement area which may be subdivided.
