1361.01 CHARGES FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
   No building permit shall be issued to an owner of a lot or parcel of land, or his agent or the architect, for the construction of a building or residence thereon if such lot or land abuts upon a public improvement, such as a storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water main or pavement, that the owner or his predecessor in title has not paid his proportionate share of the costs thereof either by special assessment or direct contribution, unless and until such owner pays his proportionate share to tap in and use the same by direct contribution as hereinafter provided.
   The Engineer shall determine the amount to be paid by the owner if the costs of construction of the sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water main or pavement were paid directly and by private contract, by using the front foot charge first made, less any adjustments, and multiplying the same by the foot frontage. Such amount shall be paid to the Finance Director and deposited by such Finance Director in a particular improvement fund, if any, for distribution to all owners who previously paid their proportionate share, unless otherwise ordered by a majority thereof.
   If the cost of the construction of such storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water main and pavement was or is being paid by special assessment, then this tap in and use charge shall be paid. (Ord. 14-59. Passed 2-24-59.)
