(A) There is hereby imposed on the owner(s) of each and every improved lot or parcel of land, as classified and used by any residential district zoning category defined in the town zoning regulations, a storm water management utility service fee, except as specifically excluded in this subchapter. An IMPROVED LOT OR PARCEL OF LAND shall be defined as any residential lot or parcel of land lot within the corporate limits of the town that has been altered from its undeveloped state and includes apertures where impervious areas have been constructed or exist. IMPROVEMENTS shall be defined as any human-made change to the real property including, but not limited to, buildings and other structures, streets, parking lots, mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving or excavation.
(B) The residential service charge fee shall be uniform for each and every land owner as set forth in this subchapter. Each residential lot or parcel of land shall qualify as an equivalent dwelling unit (EDU). It is established that one EDU equals 3,000 square feet, or less, of impervious area. This subchapter hereby establishes one EDU as a residential parcel(s) or lot(s) impervious area. Each owner(s) of each residential parcel or lot shall therefore be charged a fee for one EDU.
