A. Except as otherwise provided herein, fees for the use and availability of the storm sewer system shall be determined through the combination of a monthly uniform base charge per parcel for the recovery of system costs, plus a supplemental monthly charge based on the REF for the recovery of system costs influenced by runoff events. Common areas and facilities within a common interest community shall not be charged such fees; however, the total area of the common areas and facilities shall be allocated to the units within the common interest community based on the unit's undivided interest in the common areas and facilities. The pro-rated area of the common areas and facilities shall be added to each unit within the common interest community and the total shall be used in computing the REF for each unit. (Ord. 173, 8-9-2018)
B. In determining charges, the Council shall, from time to time by ordinance, establish the uniform monthly base charge per parcel and a supplementary rate to be charged against a hypothetical one acre parcel having an REF of 1.00. The sum of this monthly base charge and monthly supplementary charge shall be the monthly charge for all typical single-family parcels. This sum shall also be the minimum monthly charge for all nonexempt parcels. (Ord. 95, 5-10-2012)
C. A connection fee will be charged to each principal building prior to issuance of a building permit, except as otherwise allowed to be deferred pursuant to the City's utility connection fee deferral program. The Council shall, from time to time by ordinance, establish the connection fee. (Ord. 122, 10-8-2015)
D. The charge to be made against nontypical, nonexempt parcels shall be determined by multiplying the REF computed by the City Engineer for the upland developed portion of the parcel by the parcel's upland developed acreage. This product is then multiplied by the supplementary rate and added to the uniform base charge. The undeveloped and unserved portion of a parcel will not increase the charge above and beyond the computed charge for the developed portion of the parcel, or above the minimum charge if no portion is developed.
