(A) Whenever an applicant applies for a permit to connect property fronting a main, the installation cost of which main was paid by the city or by a previous applicant and approved by the city, such subsequent applicant shall pay to the city prior to the granting of the permit an amount calculated as “A” in the following formula:
A = F x C x .60 wherein
F = the number of feet of applicant’s property fronting on main, except as provided herein for corner lots
C = cost per foot of installing main
.60 = factor composed of .50 (for one of the two sides fronting on the main) and .10 (for street intersection allowance)
(B) Provided, however, when the General Manager determines that only one side of a street can be benefitted by a main installed by the city or by a previous applicant, subsequent applicant for permits to connect thereto shall pay to the city prior to the granting of such permits an amount calculated as “A” in the following formula:
A = F x C x 1.10 wherein
F = the number of feet of applicant’s property fronting on main, except as provided herein for corner lots
C = cost per foot of installing main
1.10 = a factor composed of 1.00 (the total cost of the installation) and .10 (for street intersection allowance)
(C) When a commercial or multi-unit complex fronts more than one street, “F” shall be the longest frontage, regardless of what side the building faces.
(D) When a single-family dwelling fronts more than one street, “F” shall be the side that the house is facing. Whenever an applicant applies for a permit to connect property where a lateral has already been installed by the city or a previous applicant and approved by the city, such subsequent applicant shall pay to the city a sewer lateral charge equal to the total cost of the lateral.
(E) Amounts collected as provided herein shall be retained by the city when such sewer main facilities and laterals if applicable were paid by the city or shall be paid by the city to the applicant who paid the cost of installing the main and laterals until the applicant has received an amount calculated as “R” in the formula in § 7.20.1110.
