A. General Front Footage. In the absence of a valid applicable reimbursement contract for repayment of costs involved in constructing public sewer facilities, the payment of the fee as set forth in the master fee schedule per front foot of the parcel sought to be connected. However, such front foot fee shall not be imposed upon a person who constructed or paid for the construction of the public sewer into which connection is sought; or

B. Special Circumstances. Whenever the City Council, on recommendation of the Director, determines that any public sewer benefits property which does not front upon such sewer, or where property does face upon a sewer, but where the shape of the property is other than the usual rectangular shape, or where it is unusual in area, or where for any other reason the strict adherence to the front foot charge provided in subsection (A) of this section would require a property owner to pay an amount not commensurate with the benefits to be received, the City Council may, by resolution, determine the amount of money which such property or any unit portion thereof shall pay, in addition to and prior to the payment of other permit and connection fees. Such resolution shall take into consideration any contributions made by a property owner toward the cost of the construction of the sewer line in arriving at the amount of money to be paid by such property owner.

Prior to the adoption of such resolution, the Director may allow a property owner to make use of such sewer facilities upon the owner guaranteeing to pay the amount to be provided in such resolution, and upon the deposit of an amount of money estimated by the Director to be adequate, as a guarantee of the payment of the amount to be provided in the resolution; or

C. Reimbursement Agreement. The City may choose to enter into reimbursement agreements with persons, whether subdividers or not, who have constructed public sewer facilities with their own money and which facilities benefitted property the owners of which did not contribute to the construction of such facilities. Any such property owner desiring to be connected to any such public sewer facility, if such property or the owner thereof did not contribute toward the cost of the construction, shall not be permitted to connect without first paying the fee established in the applicable reimbursement agreement on file in the office of the Director. (Ord. 2466 § 7, 1991; Ord. 2107 § 1, 1985).
