§ 52.016 PREVIOUSLY DEVELOPED AREAS AND UNDEVELOPED AREAS WITHIN 201 PLANNING AREA.
   Properties located inside the 201 Planning Area are not required to be annexed into the City of Pikeville in order to receive sewer service. However, the City Manager of the City of Pikeville and the City Engineer shall review plans submitted by the applicant to determine potential impacts to the city’s existing collection system as well as the most appropriate appurtenances needed to convey the discharge to the city’s system before granting approval to accept the discharge. In addition, plans for sewer lines and other appurtenances necessary to convey the discharge to the point of connection to city service shall be made in accordance with §§ 52.045 through 52.048 of this chapter and other appropriate written specifications, and approved by the City Manager and City Engineer prior to construction. Installations shall be inspected in accordance with §§ 52.045 through 52.048 of this chapter. All construction and maintenance costs associated with conveying the discharge to the point of connection with city service shall be borne by the property owner. Properties located outside the city limits which receive sewer service shall enter into an inter-jurisdictional agreement with the city before the service is connected. All properties considered for annexation shall have approved sewer lines in place or an enforceable commitment from the property owner to install such sewer lines on a schedule acceptable to the City Manager.
