A. A property owner desiring an interpretation or other examination of the fee category to which they have been assigned, must submit a written application for appeal to the City Administrator. Such appeals may be filed only once in connection with any fee or determination, except upon showing of changed circumstances sufficient to justify the filing of an additional appeal.
B. Such petition shall be in writing and filed with the City Administrator within thirty (30) days of the date of the utility bill containing the disputed charge or the date of the challenged determination. The application must provide sufficient detail to allow an interpretation. The City Administrator may require additional information, including an engineering study prepared by a licensed professional engineer using the ITE Manual methodology. If such a study is required, it shall be at the applicant's expense. The petitioner shall have the burden to prove that the amount of the fee or the use category is in error.
C. The appeal will be considered by the Transportation Utility Appeal Board consisting of: City Engineer, City Community Development Director and City Administrator. Within thirty (30) days of the submission of an appeal application with the required information, the Board will make a final decision on the appeal application. Said decision will be based upon findings of fact and all relevant information. The Board may modify the fee or category of use accordingly. A copy of the decision will be mailed to the applicant. Such determination by the Board shall be considered a final order. (Ord. 2018-19, 7-17-2018)
