107.05 EXEMPTION FROM FEES; SPECIAL CONDITIONS.
The stormwater management fee shall not apply:
1.   If an individual receives water service from Ankeny and, for whatever reason that results in the building being vacant or unoccupied, desires and makes arrangements with the Ankeny Municipal Utilities for shutting off said service for a period of not less than two (2) weeks.
2.   If a written request is made, in special conditions the City Manager of the City of Ankeny may grant fee payment and collection variances after determining that granting the variance would be in the City's best interest, will improve efficiency, safety and is practical. Upon the granting of any variance, the City Manager shall file notice with the City Council giving reason(s) for the variance.
3.   The fee established in Subsection 107.02(3) for commercial/industrial/ multifamily recognizes that these particular types of development are required to provide stormwater detention onsite. Having such stormwater detention, therefore, is not a basis for exemption.
