(A) In cases where the utility customer disputes the fee based on the actual impervious area of the real property in which he or she has interest, a notice of objection may be filed with the Director of Public Works as outlined § 53.09; provided, however, that City Council many delegate the Director of Public Works’ responsibilities hereunder to Charleston County or its duly authorized representatives pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement providing for same.
(B) Where an adjustment of the fee is warranted, the Director of Public Works shall recalculate and re-determine the fee using equivalent ERU’s that is based on the total impervious areas of the real property at issue.
(C) Where deemed appropriate and at the discretion of the Director of Public Works, the gross acreage of the real property may be adjusted as a means of recalculating and re-determining the fee. This method is applied in cases where the property is large and the ratio of pervious area to impervious area is low. The Director of Public Works and the utility customer shall mutually agree on the general area of improvement. In cases where a mutual agreement cannot be reached, the utility customer may file a notice of objection as referenced above.
