§ 82-191. Individual sewer extension assessment determination.

(a)

In the event that an applicant for sewer system extension, or an applicant for use of excess extension capacity, under the provisions of this article elects, an individual sewer extension assessment determination may be requested. If it is found that the data, information, and assumptions used by the applicant to calculate the individual sewer assessment determination satisfy the requirements of section 58-173 of this Code (incorporated herein by reference) and the requirements of this section, the individual sewer extension assessment determination shall be deemed the sewerage extension fee due and owing for the proposed development.

(b)

In addition to meeting the requirements of section 58-173 (incorporated herein by reference), the applicant shall show the basis of the individual sewer extension assessment determination including, but not limited to, the following:

(1)

Sewer engineering studies including documentation of sewage flow generation rates appropriate to the specific development activity proposed.

(2)

Sewer engineering studies including documentation of the line capacity of the sewer system extension proposed for installation and the proportionate share of that capacity used by the development.

(3)

If applicable, sewer engineering studies used to calculate the extent to which an individual sewer line is used as a system extension as opposed to a system expansion (designed to provide excess capacity for the purpose of providing service to additional development in the future) for the purpose of establishing an attribution for base cost of the system extension, the proportionate share of which will serve as a basis for fees.

(c)

All documentation shall be prepared and presented by qualified professionals registered to practice in their respective fields and shall follow best professional practices and methodologies.

(d)

A developer may request a preapplication conference with the county manager or the manager's designee.

(e)

The county manager or the manager's designee shall provide the developer with an independent fee determination within 30 working days of the formal submittal of a complete application for an individual assessment determination, including an individual assessment study.

(f)

All other requirements being met, nothing in this article shall prevent a developer from receiving a building permit upon payment of fees as required and calculated herein and proceeding while awaiting an individual fee assessment determination. When an individual fee assessment is established, any excess payments shall be refunded.
