When a water main is constructed in a public right-of-way or easement by means of financing other than by the developer or subdivider as provided in Ordinance No. 492, Subdivision Regulations Ordinance (see Chapter 153), or by charges against the adjacent property owner (voluntary charges or special assessments) and the property being connected was annexed to the city after January 1, 1972, the following procedures shall apply:
(A) At such time as the owner of adjacent property wishes to make use of the water main, a connection fee must be paid to the city prior to the issuance of a permit to connect into the main. The amount of the connection fee shall be determined annually by resolution of the Commission and shall be increased or decreased to reflect typical current construction costs reported by the Director of Public Works.
(B) For purposes of this section,
FRONTAGE shall be defined as the width of a platted lot or lots on which development is taking place. For lots adjacent to two or more streets, FRONTAGE shall be the lesser lot dimension or one-half the longer dimension, whichever is greater.
(C) For unplatted property the lot frontage shall be determined by the City Manager after consultation with the property owner. Unless approved by the Commission, the unplatted frontage of a single-family dwelling shall not be computed to be greater than 125 feet.
