(A) Property classifications. For purposes of determining the storm water user's fee, all properties in the city are classified into one of the following classes:
(1) Single-family residential property;
(2) Other developed property; or
(3) Exempt property.
(B) Single-family residential fee. The municipality's Common Council finds that the intensity of development of most parcels of real property in the municipality classified as single-family residential is similar and that it would be excessively and unnecessarily expensive to determine precisely the square footage of the improvements (such as buildings, structures and other impervious areas) on each such parcel. Therefore, all single-family residential properties in the city shall be charged a flat storm water management fee, equal the base rate, regardless of the size of the parcel or the improvements.
(C) Other developed property fee.
(1) The fee for other developed property (i.e., non-single-family residential property) in the municipality shall be the base rate multiplied by the numerical factor obtained by dividing the total impervious area (square feet) of the property by one ERU. The impervious surface area for other developed property is the square footage for the buildings and other improvements on the property.
(2) The minimum storm water management fee for other developed property shall equal the base rate for single-family residential property.
(D) Exempt property. There shall be no storm water user's fee for exempt property.
