• 3.7.3 The costs for abutting property owners will be based on the assessable property frontage which excludes intersections and City owned properties.

• 3.7.4 Unless noted for lot flankage (side lot), all costs are assessed according to the property frontage (front or rear yard width) adjacent to the works.

• 3.7.5 In the case of irregular shaped lots, adjustments to the assessment are made on a case-by-case basis to mitigate over/under assessing an irregular lot.

4.  POLICY

In accordance with the described purpose and scope, this policy specifies cost-sharing arrangements for the construction of storm and sanitary sewers, pavements, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, private drain connections and street lighting as local improvements, implemented under the provisions of Ontario Regulation 586/06, made under the Municipal Act, 2001.

4.1 SEWERS

Where:

• A storm and/or sanitary sewer does not exist; and

• Abutting property owners have requested in writing a storm and/or sanitary sewer be installed as a local improvement; or

• The City initiates the installation of a storm and/or sanitary sewer as a local improvement

The abutting property owners will be assessed for:

• The cost at the approved rate, per metre of frontage, of a new storm and/or sanitary sewer;

• The full cost for the construction of a private drain connection and cleanout extending from the centre line of the right-of-way to the property line of the benefiting property;

• 100% of the cost for boulevard restoration.

In addition, where flankage properties exist, those property owners will be assessed for:

• 25% of the approved rate, per metre of flankage, for the construction of a storm sewer and boulevard restoration for the first 45 metres of lot flankage;

• 100% of the cost for any remaining works over and above the first 45 metres of lot flankage, at the approved rate.
